“At birth, by being born to an American parent!
********************************************
Only if the citizen parents files for a CBRA”
Hubby and I were stationed overseas when our first child was born, e.g. 1965, on a military reservation and I had to go down to the U. S. Consulate after his birth, and produce the birth certificate that was given to me by the US Army Hospital, and register his birth even though both my husband and I are U. S. Citizens. After we got back to the States, when baby was about 2 1/2 years old we had to have a passport picture of our son taken, make out all kinds of paper work, which at that time, was the same that an legal immigrant makes out when he or she becomes a US citizen, and we had to appear before a Federal Judge (who was in Baltimore, MD) and take the oath of citizenship for our son. To this day, our son has all those papers and when he applied for a passport, several years after he got married, he had to produce those papers and it didn’t matter that Mom and Dad are US citizens, but that’s what we went through.
So he traveled on your passport to the States?
