That is a toughy and not something that a non-professional is going to be able to help you with. I would try to find a lawyer who can give you a little free advice. Get a phone book and just go down the list. Get 10 or 20 answers and see what they gravitate toward. I would also like to know what happens in this. It's interesting. Email with what you find out: mj12@email.arizona.edu. Thanks man.

If they are married the child will be a US Citizen. Many countries will allow a child to have dual citizenship, but he/she will have to choose a country at 18.\n\nMy dad is American and my mom is a British citizen, but is a legal alien, and we are all US citizens. We had the option of dual citizenship, but didn't see the point to it. I always knew I wanted to live my life here in America. You will have to check the specifics for Germany, but I'm sure they're probably the same.

I am the child of an immigrant.  My Mother, who is from Asia, met my Father when she was in the US on a student visa.  They decided to get married and Mom began the process of becoming a legal resident and ultimately a citizen.\n\nIn my life, I have dated an illegal alien.  Had she been the person I wanted to marry, we would have gotten married and found a way to apply for her citizenship.  As someone who is a legal resident of the United States, I would not want to know that my wife was subject to deportation at any time.  What I would not do is carry around a sign in the street saying she has the 'right' to be illegal.\n\nImmigrants have always been a part of this country, and always will be.  But unchecked illegal immigration brings down the standard of living for people in the US.

If the child isnt with the mother then no the mother cannot get child support for a child shes not supporting either. The money might be sent to whoever is supporting the child yes. If they are living outside of the US it might work different I am not sure. One of the parents living in the US should have the child. Why is she living outside the US?

You child is entitled to the citizenship of one or both parents, depending on the rules of that or those countries.  In addition, there are a few countries that give citizenship to almost anyone born there:  Canada, France, Ireland, Panama and the US are examples, but there are a few others as well.\n\nCheck this web site:\nhttp://www.multiplecitizenship.com/

Shawn, apperantly some of these people don't have any clue.You should really be careful asking questions like this on an openly opinionated forum such as this. True, if you're a US citizen, then your children are also but you need to file the right documents in the country where they are born, and submit it along with a DNA result the confirms your paternity.And as far as "her" visa, it varies depending on what country she is from. There isn't a level playing field where those are concerned. In most cases, under the K-visa program, a K-3(spouse) visa takes longer to process than a K-1(fiance) visa. Don't know why but think it has something to due with the process and requirements. CONSULT AN ATTORNEY! You might sponsor her or try for a student visa,or work visa but there is a catch. Just because she is in the US and you marry, doesn't automatically grant her a green card. She may still be required to return to her home country while processing her visa under the new status. And it may in fact make the process more difficult. CONSULT AN ATTORNEY! I'm only saying this because a denial can be very painful and even lenghten the process during a "re-file". I know because I'm currently working on a K-1 for my Pilipino Fiance, whom I have a child with as well.\n\nGood Luck!

It depends on what country you are from.  If your child is born in the UK, your child could have dual citizenship which may be a benefit down the road. I suggest you contact your embassy and ask them.

I'm not. I was born in Alberta, Canada when my mom was visiting her sister who lived there. I was practically born on the plane. But a week or so after I was born we flew to our real home in Chicago, Illinois. Right now I live in the Philippines though.

Do I think it's wrong ?  No.  I think a child exposed to many cultures and places is a good thing .  I think a child cared for is always a good thing no matter where they might be at the moment.  I think a child feels home is more about the stability of the key adults in their life then about location.  I think it's great that Brad and Angelia are using their resources to help children who may otherwise have very bleek futures, it's commendable.  I also think everyone is angry with them for hurting Jenifer who was like Princess Diana "down to earth" a common soul.  I think for this reason attempts are made to make them the union of Sodom and Gommorah.  The reality is those buying tickets to the firestorm from heaven may as well get in the refund line.  It's not happening.  I think traveling with children is the least of the worries for this couple.  Now let's get outraged about B.Spears and her baby in her lap not buckled in.  Here are two people caring for kids who wouldn't have many options apart from them and maybe they will marry, maybe the won't but they've both stepped up to plate for other peoples children.  That's more then many do for their own children.

You don't say whether you became a British citizen, but as far as the birth certificate goes, you can always request a duplicate from the state where you were born. I don't know what's involved in that, but it's possible. My own is a duplicate (my parents got it for me, so I'm unclear on the details).\n\nAs far as all the ID/passport stuff goes, it can't hurt to contact the US embassy or consulate. This is their area of expertise, so just ask them for their help and they'll give you the right info.\n\nGood luck!

you're right, we are the only country in the world that allows for the anchor baby syndrome.  no other country in the world allows children born from guest-worker, visa or visiting parents to become a citizen.  US is the only country that does this and this was allowed when we were still a young country with a lower populace than today.  we should get rid of that law and not allow anchor babies.  you want to bet, that would cut the numbers drastically.

i would say no....if you want child support, come here and apply for citizenship....and then eventually you can pay taxes to help give back to the country.

How old was he when he came over illegally, was it by his choice or the choice of his parents.. all things to consider really. \nBest answer so far was to speak/hire an immigration attorney. \nI am sorry sweetie, but I am for deporting all illegals.. HOWEVER!! He may be able to stay, considering the fact that you and he are married. Check into it. <warm hugs>

How long do you plan on staying in the United States on your vacation?  Where were your other wo kids born?  As long as you can demonstrate that you plan to leave and have your baby in your home country there should be no problems at all.

Not knowing what Country A or Country B might be, here's the scoop on my country, The United States of America!\n\nA citizen of the United States is a native-born, foreign-born, or naturalized person who owes allegiance to the United States and who is entitled to its protection. In addition to the naturalization process, the United States recognizes the U.S. citizenship of individuals according to two fundamental principles: jus soli, or right of birthplace, and jus sanguinis, or right of blood.\n\n\nThe 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizenship at birth to almost all individuals born in the United States or in U.S. jurisdictions, according to the principle of jus soli. Certain individuals born in the United States, such as children of foreign heads of state or children of foreign diplomats, do not obtain U.S. citizenship under jus soli.\n\n\nCertain individuals born outside of the United States are born citizens because of their parents, according to the principle of jus sanguinis (which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his / her parents). The U.S. Congress is responsible for enacting laws that determine how citizenship is conveyed by a U.S. citizen parent or parents according to the principle of jus sanguinis. These laws are contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act.\n\nYou can read more here:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/citizen.htm

Don't listen to this "18" crap.\n\nIf an American woman has a baby outside the United States the baby is American.  It's very important you do the following.... Go to the closest American consulate, or the embassy in Mexico City, and file a Report of Birth Abroad.\n\nYou will need to prove:\n1. You are American.\n2. The baby was born in Mexico.\n3. It's actually your baby.\n\nIf the embassy suspects it's not your baby they will require you and the baby to get genetic testing to prove maternity.\n\nAfter the Report of Birth Abroad has been filed the embassy or consulate will issue the baby a US passport and Social Security Number.
