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.

You may be an American citizen anywhere in the world.  \n\nHowever, what you are asking for is probably ILLEGAL.  That's why the consulate won't help her.  Neither will I.

The child has duel citizenship.\nThe Mother does not.  Marriage to a U.S. citizen will keep her here, but there are not many other options, unless she can extend her work visa

It's when a Mexican illegal alien gets knocked-up and drops the kid in the United States so the kid will be an American citizen by birth.  When they try to send her back she whines it's not fair to send her American baby back to a terrible place like Mexico so she should be allowed to stay here, collect WIC, AFCD, Food Stamps and Section 8 Housing for her little Americano.

Yes she could. Article II of the US Constitution states:\n\n"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."\n\nSo now the question is: What is a natural born citizen? Title 8, Section 1401 of the US Code would conclude that yes, in fact she is a natural born citizen (assuming her father meets this condition):\n\n"(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person\n(A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or\n(B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date"

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.

They don't become American citizens instantly. In order for them to become U.S citizens, they have to be living in the states with their citizen spouse for more than 3 years without leaving the states for trips of 6months or longer.\n\nLearn more about it, visit the United States Citizens and Immigrations Service at www.uscis.gov\n\nAugust 14, 2001 (Rev.)\n\nINS Implements the “K” Nonimmigrant Visa Provision of the LIFE Act\n\nWASHINGTON –– To reduce the separations immediate family members of U.S. citizens may experience while waiting abroad for an immigrant visa, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is implementing a new K nonimmigrant visa provision, which was published as an interim rule in today’s Federal Register.  \n\nThe rule expands the K visa status, currently available to fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens, to include the spouse of a U.S. citizen, who is waiting abroad for an immigrant visa, and the spouse’s children.  This will allow them to enter the United States as nonimmigrants, re-unite with their family here, and then apply for immigrant status while in the country.  It is one of several immigration benefit provisions created by the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (LIFE Act) enacted last December.\n\nUnder this new nonimmigrant visa classification, spouses of U.S. citizens may be granted K-3 nonimmigrant status, and the spouse’s unmarried children (under 21 years of age) may be granted K-4 nonimmigrant status.  Obtaining a K-3/4 visa is not required, however.  Spouses of U.S. citizens and their children may skip applying for a K visa and directly obtain their immigrant visa abroad from the Department of State.\n\nFor those who wish to take advantage of this new provision, to be eligible for a K-3 nonimmigrant visa, an applicant MUST:\n\n    * Be the spouse of a U.S. citizen;\n    * Have a Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) filed on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen spouse, that is pending;\n    * Have a Form I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)) completed and submitted on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen spouse to:\n\n      U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service\n      P.O. Box 7218\n      Chicago, IL 60680-7218\n      (Note: The INS must approve the Form I-129F before the beneficiary becomes eligible to apply for the K Visa from the U.S. consulate abroad.); and\n    * Submit a completed Form I-693 (Medical Examination) when he/she appears at the consulate to apply for the K-3 visa from the Department of State. \n\nTo be eligible for a K-4 nonimmigrant visa, an applicant does not need a separate Form I-130 or a Form I-129F filed on his/her behalf.  The K-4 applicant MUST:\n\n    * Be an unmarried child (under 21 years of age) of a K-3 visa applicant or holder;\n    * Submit a completed Form I-693 (Medical Examination) when he/she appears at the consulate to apply for the K-4 visa. \n\nApplying for Immigrant Status\nThe K-3/4 nonimmigrant classification does not provide immigrant status.  To obtain immigrant status --once in the United States -- a K-3 nonimmigrant must file a Form I-485 (Application for Adjustment to Permanent Residence).  A K-4 nonimmigrant must have a Form I-130 filed on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen parent/stepparent and must file a Form I-485.  K-3/4 nonimmigrants will become lawful permanent residents and receive their Green Card when both the Form I-130 petition and their Form I-485 application have been approved.\n\nK-3/4 non-immigrants may elect to apply for an immigrant visa instead of adjustment of status and may wait in the United States until they must appear at the consulate for their visa interview.\n\nEmployment Authorization\nK-3/4 nonimmigrants may also apply for authorization to work in the United States while they wait for their immigrant status.  To do so, they must submit a completed Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) along with the $100 application fee to the INS post office box (P.O. Box) addr

It depends on how you got your permanent residency. If you got it by getting married to a U.S. citizen, you can apply for citizenship three months before your third wedding anniversay. If you got the residency in any other way, you have to wait five years before you can apply.\n\nThe waiting period after you applied for citzenship differs from region to region. In can be several months up to a year or more. I got my citizenshp within 6 months after application (which is pretty quick).

It depends: if the person is married to US citizen or a "green card holder"   also known as resident alien. \nwith the experienced I have, to have the wife or husband who is married to US citizen , you have to apply for a I-129 also known as Fiancee visa , to expedite your K-3 visa (non-immigrant )simultaneosly apply I-130( to petition alien relative -spouse) as soon as the wife/husband will arrive in the US, then you can apply for Adjustment of status I-485 , to get the green card , I started working on documents of my daughter in-law last August 2005 , she is coming here July 6,2006 . She had her medical April 27, and have the interview at the US Embassy overseas last May 5,2006 , approximately about 10 months.It all depends on what country , some takes awhile .\n\nGreen card holder , approximately 2 years , depends on the country too.It would be advisable to be a US citizen first to petition the wife/husband in any case.

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)

If your wife is a US citizen and you filed for an I-751 when you arrived in the US to lift your 'conditional status' then you would have to wait 3 years to apply for citizenship. Once you have filed the initial paperwork, the process will take approximately 6 months to 1 year. It might take longer if there are complications in your case.\n\nIf your wife is NOT a US citizen and you both immigrated to the US, then you have to wait 5 years before applying for citizenship. Once you file the first set of paperwork, it should take approximately 6-12 months.\n\nhope this helps!
