no because that wouldn't be fair if the child got choose too live in America but his or her parents didnt get to choose
Only a green card holder already in the US for a minimum 5 year period, staying in the locality where he or she is applying for US citizenship for a minimum 3 month period and who has good moral character can apply for US citizenship. Person should be at least 18 years old and should pass the citizenship test in order to get US citizenship.
No. The green card should have minimum six months validity before you can apply for US citizenship. If green card is about to expire you need to apply for its renewal first and then apply for US citizenship.
Yes, unless:You serve in the army of a foreign power (especially if it's an enemy country),Your actions threaten the security of the United States, orYou voluntarily give up your US citizenship in order to obtain the citizenship of a country that does not permit dual nationality.
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.
If you are a Green Card holder and want US citizenship down the road, it is best to not apply for a re-entry permit in the first place; candidates should not leave the US for more that 6 months. So, you want the citizenship. Come back with that re-entry, and be sure to obey 6-month rule for next 5 years. Even then, if you leave the US for,say, 1,2,4 months during these 5 years, you will need to add them to the 5 year starting date to apply and get it. Be certain that you qualify with the time spent in US before you apply to save time and money.... 5 years of "real stay" with no over 6 months is necessary to win your case.
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.
If you apply for citizenship in another country your US citizenship is automatically revoked. The US does not recognize dual citizenship. You revoke it in writing at a US embassy, outside the US.
Only if the other country does not ask you to renounce your US citizenship (e.g. Norway, Denmark, Spain and Luxembourg require you to renounce your US citizenship if you want to obtain their citizenship).
Someone with dual citizenship should be able to enter and reside in each country in which citizenship is held without obtaining a visa. That is part of what citizenship is about - the right to enter and travel freely in your country of citizenship.
Yes, The residents of US territories have US citizenship
Hi, My name is Vesna, question how can I get a entry permit? I was born in Thailand during the refuge camp. I live in the US for 25 year and not yet a citizen. Stay in the process to apply for citizenship.
The US recognizes dual citizenship.
