Was the child born on another country's embassy or was the child born before a certain time?

sweetie_ankay

if the child was born on a plane too far above boston...there's a limit thing going on there too...unless the child was born on a boat...which doesn't count..I don't see why that child can't be a citizen.

anyone born on US soil is a US citizen even if the parents are not

Probably the same way someone has a baby overseas and it's still a US citizen. Happens all the time with military personnel.

Prior to October 30, 2000, if the child was born inside a foreign embassy or consulate, then the child would be a citizen of the country that resides there. Or, if the child was adopted at birth by a citizen of another country and resided in the other country for any given period of time, then the citizenship would be that of their adopted parents and the country in which they lived. The only other thing I can think of is if the parents had duel citizenship and chose not to give the us citizenship to the child.

When born on american soil the child will directly become a us citizen.

maybe the child was born on an embassy of another country.

The child was born before the end of the Revolutionary War. Before England lost control of America, anyone born within the 13 colonies, including Boston, Massachusetts, was a citizen of England, not America.

The child needs a birth certificate of proof of the place of birth that it is in the USA. Then show it to the right department/office: immigration and Naturalization office perhaps?

Only way possible is both it's parents are foreign diplomats and both their parents were foreign diplomats.
Otherwise the kid is an American citizen automatically when born on U.S. soil.
Notice someone mention military personal. The base hospital is considered to be U.S. soil. and the military bases are considered to be U.S.
If your parents are working over seas in say like Venezuela and you are born there, then you are a Venezuelan citizen even though your parents are both American. You parents have to go to the American embassy and apply for your citizen shipment.
A lot of people whose parents worked over seas in the oil have dual citizenship's for that reason.
It did cause problems for time to time as well. More than a few cases of the government telling the parents no the kid was a citizen of that country and could no leave the country.
That is why a lot of companies recommend that when a woman is getting close she come back to the States to here her baby.
