Once you turn 21 you are no longer their "anchor baby", and as such they have no citizen dependants to support. If they continue to stay, they can be deported and never allowed to return. If they leave the country voluntarily and apply for re-entry, they will have a far greater probability of getting the paperwork through with you here as a sponsor. It appears that they are trying to do it the right way. Let them.

Can an non green card child become a naturalized citizen if the parents are citizen?

Absolutely. The child can become a US citizen through its parents who are US citizens. The child has to apply for citizenship by filing in Form N-600 to obtain the certificate of citizenship. The child should be under 18 years of age in order to document their citizenship status. Even if the child was born outside the US, it will become a US citizen though its US citizen parents.

Can US citizen have dual citizenship with Czech Republic?

The short answer appears to be no, as the Czech republic asks for a renunciation of your previous citizenship when you are applying for Czech citizenship. There are some exceptions to this: - the country of which you are currently a citizen will not let you renounce your citizenship - the country of which you are a citizen does not issue certificates affirming/asserting renunciation (so you cannot provide proof of the renunciation) - renouncing your current citizenship would put you in physical danger As for the other way around, if you are a Czech citizen and you are voluntarily naturalized, you forfeit your citizenship. If, however, you acquire citizenship through being born in a country, or through marriage, it seems as though you could actually be a dual citizen. There are supposedly numerous people who have not notified the Czech authorities of their new status as citizens in other countries and have retained their Czech passport, so they are (at least for a time) de factor if not de jure dual citizens.


Can your husband get citizenship even though he was brought here illegally as a child?

He can apply and go through the process like everyone else, although being in the country illegally means he is likely to be deported. This counts badly against someone for the purposes of applying and gaining citizenship; he is better to leave, apply from there and come back in the 'right' way.


If an American Citizen marries a Guatemalan will they lose US citizenship?

No you do not.The only person that doesn't have citezenship in America is the person from overseas.Another answer:Marriage to a foreign citizen does not affect one's own citizenship. If the new spouse wishes to obtain US citizenship, the laws of the home country determine whether or not that individual either gets dual citizenship or loses the original citizenship. For example, if a bride from New Zealand marries an American, she may gain US citizenship and retain her New Zealand citizenship. If a Chinese bride seeks US citizenship, though, China will not permit her to retain her Chinese citizenship.


can you have dual citizenship in the U.S. and Phillipines?

I think that if your father was (and/or still is) a US citizen, then you are also a US citizen no matter where you were born. It should be rather easy to get an american passport in the US embassy or consulate in the phillipines for you. As for your mother, I believe that she has to apply for a US visa or "green card" based on her marriage to your father who was/is a US citizen, or thru your US citizenship if you are over 21 years old.
