> > in the simplest case, if your parents are married and both citizens, you will be to, no matter where you were born. > I'm well aware of this, since I have close family that your situation applies to. Actually, if your parents are married and even one is a US citizen, you will be too, always. You are both wrong. If both parents are US citizens and at least one of them has ever been a resident of the US or one of itd outlying possessions, you acquire citizenship at birth. If your parents are married, one is a US citizen, and the other a non-citizen national, the US citizen parent must have been resident in the US for at least one year for you to automatically acquire citizenship at birth. If the non-citizen parent isn't a national, the citizen parent must be resident in the US for five years, at least two of which were after the age of 14. https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume1... |
