No. You cannot gain U.S. citizenship just by having a baby in the USA. You (the parent) will still be a citizen of whatever country you already were a citizen of. However, the child will have Dual Citizenship. This means basically that they will be a citizen of both countries. I am not 100 percent sure of these things, but this is what I have been told. To find out for sure, I recommend you contact U.S. Customs & Immigration.

∙ 12y agono you can not. You must take tests and live in America for about 3-5 years. It doesn't matter if you Mary an American citizen or not you have to do this. And i think you have to do some other things too.
AnswerYes, but you must have 3 years of residency in the United States before filing for citizenship instead of the intended 5. The tests you must take are the same as if you were to file for citizenship without an American spouse. __ Answer Provided by United States Government text book. (:

∙ 12y agoWhether or not you have a child who is a US citizen, you can become a US citizen if you are legally in the country, have lived in the US continuously for 5 years or more, are not disqualified by past criminal convictions and the like, pass a test, pay a fee, and take an oath.
Having a child who is a US citizen does not exempt you from any of the naturalization requirements that apply to non-citizens in general.

Can a child automatically be a US citizen if they are born to a parent who is a US citizen because their parent was a US citizen?
It depends- if the father and grandfather have lived in the U.S., then yes the child would be a citizen. However, if the father has lived most iof his life outside the U.S., then it is highly unlikely that the child would be considered a U.S. citizen- even though his father and grandfather were U.S. citizens. Example: Grandfather was born and raised in the U.S. [GRANDFATHER IS A US CITIZEN] Grandfather moves to France at age 20. Grandfather marries a French lady and has a son [SON IS CONSIDERED TO BE A US CITIZEN] Son has lived his entire life and at age 20, the son marries a local French lady. Son's wife gives birth to a girl [THE GIRL IS NOT A US CITIZEN]. This is true even though her grandfather and father were U.S. citizens.
