The child may be American because that was its place of birth but it still will be Russian because of parental nationality heritage.
Yes, but this does not make you automatically a US citizen, nor does it mean your child will be either.
This depends on a number of factors such as:Which country the birth occurred in?Nationality of the mother?Immigration status while in the country where the birth occurred?Does the mother want the child to have her citizenship?In the US for instance, the nationality of the mother and her married state have nothing to do with the child's nationality. The baby would be a US Citizen. However, the mother might decide to register the birth as a foreign birth abroad and not claim US citizenship for the child.Other countries like Germany make it very difficult to get citizenship even if the child was born in Germany.
Well maybe, it depends. Some areas overseas will not let you give your child a green card unless you have signed many different papers. If you and your wife are both permanent residents of the US, you need no Green Card. The child is presumed to be a US citizen no matter where it was born. The question will be is whether or not the child is also a citizen of its place of birth
Depends on who you talk to. Most people would say the parents. Others say.... the government.
A child born outside the US will not be issued a US birth certificate. The birth certificate will be issued by the country in which the child was born.
We would like to help you with the best answer we can give, but we do need more information. Is the father an illegal immigrant and does is he in contact with the child? Thank you
Yes. You need to first register your child at the closest US Embassy in the country of birth, Register of Birth Abroad. If you submit all required paperwork, they will issue a Certification of Birth Aboard, and with that you'll be able to apply for the child's passport.
Contact the nearest US consulate, go there and register your child's birth. The certificate they will give you will act as citizenship certificate. Then apply for your child's passport so that s/he can travel to the US with you too.
In general a the country in which a child is born is considered its place of birth so a US child can not be born outside of the US. If you are a US citizen but your child is born while you are on a trip to Canada your child will be a Canadian Citizan.
not in the US
If both parents were US citizens and married before the birth, the the child is automatically a US citizen; birthplace is irrelevant. However, if only one parent was a US citizen at the time of the birth , it gets a little trickier. It depends on when the child was born (laws change), however since 1952, if the couple was married before the birth and the father meets residency requirements in the US then the child is a US citizen. Your best bet is to consult an attorney who specializes in this.Read more: Is_a_child_born_in_Mexico_a_US_citizen_if_the_child's_father_is_a_US_citizen
No, but her child will be one.
