If two parents are US Citizens and they have a child outside of the country, is that child still a US citizen?

Even if only one of the parents is a US citizen, that child is a US citizen. The residence requirements of the US citizen parents are rather easy to meet. An embassy or consular office can issue a "Consular Report of the Birth of a Citizen Abroad" which will serve as the child's US birth certificate. They will also issue, at the same time, the child's US passport. Call the embassy in the country where the child was born and they will provide you with the specific information regarding the necessary local documents. Also, most of the US embassy websites will have information particular to children born in that country of US citizens.

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.

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.

A child born in the UK does not gain UK citizenship if neither of the parents are UK citizens. If both are asylum seekers and those cases are lost then the children should be removed from the UK with the parents. That hasn't always happened for various reasons. For example it has often taken so long for cases to be decided and for appeals etc to be heard that in the meantime the asylum applicants and their children have become integrated into UK life. This becomes an issue particularly in respect of children who may have lived all or most of their lives in the UK and have no knowledge at all of the country their parents originally came from. These are cases where families have been allowed to remain 'outside the Immigration Rules' in the past. Might seem odd but then cases could often take, say, 7 or 8 years to decide and people don't just stop living their lives while they wait. The Home Office have got a little better at dealing with applications more quickly in the last couple of years so this kind of situation happens more rarely now.\n\nBut there are many other ways for people looking to stay in the UK to qualify. The most reliable is to marry a UK citizen and, if a child with UK citizenship is then born, obviously this makes the case for the 'asylum seeker' parent to stay in the UK much, much stronger.\n\nAll depends on the particular circumstances of a case - there are any number of ins and outs to these things.

It depends on the immigration law of the country in which you were born.  In the United States, citizenship is determined by two legal concepts, jus sangre and jus solis.  The first is based on your parentage, the second on location.  If you were born on US soil (definitions of this can be complex, but it certainly includes all US States, Puerto Rico, etc) , you acquired US citizenship at the time of birth under jus solis.  you can check the source below for more information.  If you are abroad, you can contact the local Embassy of Consulate of the nation you are interested in for information.  Otherwise, you would normally refer to the local office of your country's agency for handling citizenship, usually the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Home Ministry or Foreign Ministry.\n\nIf you were born to at least one parent who was a US citizen at the time of your birth, you may be a US citzen under jus sangre.  To determine this, check the source I list below.  Your parent will have had to meet certain residency requirements and determination can only be made by factors such as your birthdate, which of parents is a citizen, and how long they may have resided in the US.\n\nDisclaimer:taking advice from a person using Bubba as a screen name could be hazardous for your health.

No.  Birthright citizenship (which needs to be abloished) applies to persons "born in the United States", and a territory does not qualify.  However, if either parent were American, citizenship would pass to the child in that fashion.

SO THIS PERSON IS A CHILD OF AN AMERICAN CITIZE? WELL FIRST THE PARENT MUST PETION HIM, YOU CAN GO TO USCIS.GOV(WHICH IS THE DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION IN THE US

The baby was born to an American Citizen and is therefore American.  It would have been wise if the baby's birth was registered at the American Embassy or Consulate in Mexico to reduce problems in the future.

Just the citizenship.  That person will still have the same nationality as his parents.

No.  But he has parental responsibility for the child so you will have to declare his residence to him so that he can visit according to access arrangements you have made either personally or through the courts.  You could even move abroad with your son.  If you are the resident parent, then you have custody, and the non-resident parent has a duty to fulfil the maintenance due to the child.  If there is a dispute you can resolve it between yourselves, involve RELATE or use solicitors.  But legally he can not stop the resident parent, unless there is a PROHIBITION order preventing removal of the child from the jurisdiction.

no, b/c your child is now an american citizen and is entitled to all the services an american citizen can receive.

It's theoretically possible, but incredibly unlikely. It is possible if one or both of your parents has dual nationality, both of which grant citizenship based on the parent's citizenship. Also, if you were born to parents with two different nationalities, both of which grant citizenship based on birth to a citizen, and you were born in a third country, which grants citizenship based on place of birth. It's probably fairly ill-advised to have three citizenships. It's kind of a pain to have two as it is.

Yes, there is a difference because the people who born in US have a constitutional citizenship, that’s a citizenship derive by constitution but there are people who actually are US citizens but don’t born in US, nether in US military base camp and that people have a statutory citizenship and that’s derived by law. That people enjoy must of the benefits in the constitution and the responsibilities but not all of theme. For example the people who are from Puerto Rico are US citizens but that people can’t vote for the president of the US in Puerto Rico, if that people move to Florida or New York or other state of the nation then they can vote for the president. .

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?

A baby is not an anchor.  A US citizen child can not apply for their parents who are non citizens until they are 18 and over and must be able to prove an affidavit of support, which also prohibits the family from seeking public assistance for 5 years.  If they can not pass a background check or have been deported they  can fight the decision in Immigration Court.  If there has been a previous deportation or they entered illegally, they can be punished with a 10 year penalty to not enter the country or, in the past pay a large penalty fee (for illegal entry)

Panama is one of the few countries - like the US - in which birth in the country automatically accords citizenship.  See\nhttp://www.multiplecitizenship.com/wscl/ws_PANAMA.html\n\nBecause you were born of American parents and you have a CRBA, you are also a US citizen.  You may live in the US just as every US citizen does, with all rights and obligations.  You are entititled to a US passport, and must use it to enter and leave the US.\n\nAlthough you were born a Panamanian citizen, under Panamanian law you are supposed to decide which citizenship you want to retain - US or Panamanian - when you turn 18.  The US, on the other hand, does not have any laws against dual citizenship.\n\nYou can ask the US Embassy in Panama City (American Citizen Services) if Panama actually enforces that law or not.  You can also ask the Panamanian Embassy in Washington.  The address and phone number are in the link I gave you above.\n\nBy the way, you should know that, as a dual national, if you ever get into trouble in either country, you will be treated exactly like every other citizen of that country.  For example, if you're arrested in Panama, the US Embassy will not be able to assist you; you are Panamanian when you're in Panama.\n\nSince you want a copy of your Panamanian birth certificate, I suggest you call or write the Panamanian Embassy in Washington. They should be able to tell you how to get it.
