You can fill out form N-600 that lets a child under 18 become a citizen automatically along with any of their parent. You can only do this once the mother is a citizen. The father doesnot have any effect on the matter. The residency can be claimed through any parent as long as the child is legitimate.

Both parents are US citizens.  No matter where the child was born the child would still be a US citizen.

No.. It is a citizen of the country where it was born.. This is a GREAT fallacy in our American system.... HOWEVER.. when the baby returns to the U.S. with its parents, it can easily be change to an American citizenship

Why do you think it's not possible?  Naturalization law has not changed since 1996.\n\nAnd people like your parents are exactly whom the N-648 was created for.  Here are the requirements:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=6c388875d714d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

When your baby is born it will automatically be entitled to a British passport,,but you will still have to apply for a British passport and take the citizenship test,,I know this as my wife is a Filipina and still has to take the test for her passport but our daughter already has a British passport

She's clearly doing it for the advantages. Being born here means automatic citizenship. And it's neither right or wrong. It needs to be judged on the intent and need of the person changing nationalites or having a child born into one different from his/her own. Some situations may warrant a change. Not every country is an ideal place. In a better world, all countries are equal, but the fact is they aren't. If they were, the desire to be another nationality would greatly diminish.

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.

nothing makes you a US citizen automatically (except maybe if the president grants you one). You still have to take the test and meet all the other requirements. If you are married to a US citizen you are eligible for citizenship after 3 years, assuming of course that you spent the majority of those 3 years in the United States.\nYou need to file an N-400 to apply for citizenship.\nhttp://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/n-400.htm

NO.\nOnce they become citizens ,however, they can sponsor you under the family immigration class to get your permanent residency.

Someone without any citizenship is called stateless. \nThe UN Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights actually released a "Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons". \nThink of a civil war in a country and people run and flee into the neighboring country. There they live for decades as war rages, their children are not accepted as citizens of the host country (any country has the right to regulate to whom it wished to extend citizenship to). Think Palestinians in the West Bank 20 years ago. \nStatelessness is scarily common.

Do your parents have any paperwork regarding you?  Do you know if you are a Legal Permanent Resident?  Once you know that, go to uscis.gov and do some research.  Citizenship can wait but you need to make sure that you are a Legal Permanent Resident by your 21st birthday, otherwise you will be an illegal immigrant. \n\nGood luck.

shouldn't be fraud, as long as you can prove it's your child, i.e. birth certificate.

It will never automatically be considered abondonment without you petitioning the court to terminate the other parent's parental rights.  You should contact a Virginia attorney about this.  As with every state, the paramount concern is the 'best interests of the child'  \n\nStatute: §16.2-283(A), (B)-(E), (G)\n\nGrounds:  Abandonment or extreme parental disinterest, abuse/neglect, mental illness or deficiency, alcohol or drug induced incapacity, felony conviction/incarceration, failure of reasonable efforts, sexual abuse, abuse/neglect or loss of rights of another child, failure to maintain contact, failure to provide support, child judged in need of services/dependent, child’s best interest, child in care 15 of 22 months (or less), felony assault of child or sibling, murder/manslaughter of sibling child, voluntary relinquishment, identity or location of parent unknown, aggravated circumstances.

I'm pretty sure. My mother came from Puerto Rico and she is a citizen in Florida. I came from Mississippi and I guess I'm...a...citizen. Can a 12, becoming a 13 year old be a citizen?

yes, the child should be registered at the embassy. I think you need to get an affidavit from the father, father's proof of citizenship and child's birth certificate. \n\nIts going to be extremely hard for the embassy to acknowledge the citizenship of the child with the father's assistance.\n\nYou may need to go though the Filipino court system to establish paternity. Once you done this, you can then take that documentation to the embassy to plead your case.\n\nUnfortunately, children receive citizenship because the American parent really wants the children to have it. It is going to be a hard route to do otherwise.\n\nI would to go to an Filipino lawyer that practices in both the USA and the Philippines for advise.\n\nAnother thing -- don't delay-- citizenship will be harder to get once the child is older than 18 years old.
