Immigration to America: Children
The children of American citizens qualify for immediate entry into America, as immigration law permits an unlimited number of child immigrant visas to children who meet the basic visa requirements.
To be eligible for this category the child:
Must be under the age of 21;
Must be unmarried;
Must be the child of an American citizen; and
For a stepchild if the marriage between the natural parent and the stepparent occurred before the child turned 18 years of age.

A separate application for migration must be supplied for every child, as well as the appropriate documentation proving the child is an immediate relative of the American citizen.
Adopted children are also recognised under this category if the adoption occurred before the child turned 16 years of age and the child has resided with the adopting parents for a minimum of 2 years.
Immigration through this category is only available to legitimate children, unless the child was recognised as legitimate by law or a recognised custom in their birthplace or the mother of the child is a citizen of America.
In addition, a separate category for immigration to America under the preference system is available for children of American citizens aged over 21 years, or for children of American citizens who are married. ↓

Get it through your thick head Sara that your child is not an American citizen and neither are you. The child's father is an American citizen who you are not married to. That makes your child illegitimate.
-Well she keeps on crapping at the mouth how her child will automatically have duel citizenship. It's not true. Just proving a point. ↑ |

| You can not be a duel citizen of America and another country unless you were born in America. ↑ |

| Actually a if a childs parent lives in another country.. the child DOES have automatically have dual citizenship.. you ask how i know this. My brother is from Canada and his Wife is from USA.. their children have Duel citizenship. At the age of 18 they child then has to decide which citizenship they want to keep. Just wanted to clear that up. ~Kristin~ ↑ |

Your kid had to be born in the US to get duel citizenship.
You can not be born in another country and get duel citizenship in the US. ↑ |

Australia . Uk and a few other countries have a signed agreement with the United states that allow special circumstance visas to be given out every year..

They are legitimate children who do that.
Your kid is illegitimate. They are going to work out that the only reason you want to be over here is to try and track down his dad and get with him. ↑ |
| Name: luvheart | Date: Feb 21st, 2007 4:51 AM |
| She thinks she's going to get duel citizenship for her kid when he was born in Australia. ↑ |
| Name: iluvmygirls | Date: Feb 21st, 2007 4:51 AM |
| Again.. my neices were born in Canada.. they have dual citizenship for United States.. kind of blows your theory out of the water! ~Kristin~ ↑ |
| Name: Sarahhhh | Date: Feb 21st, 2007 4:52 AM |
i dont need to track him down, i know where he is. And another thing i wasnt LOOKING at moving to america, but when oliver gets older if he chooses to live in america for a while he can because his father is a american citzen which gives him the right to apply for dual citzenship

Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Father: A child born abroad out-of-wedlock to a U.S. citizen father may acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 301(g) INA, as made applicable by Section 309(a) INA provided:
1) a blood relationship between the applicant and the father is established by clear and convincing evidence;
2) the father had the nationality of the United States at the time of the applicant's birth;
3) the father (unless deceased) had agreed in writing to provide financial support for the person until the applicant reaches the age of 18 years, and
4) while the person is under the age of 18 years --
A) applicant is legitimated under the law of their residence or domicile,
B) father acknowledges paternity of the person in writing under oath, or
C) the paternity of the applicant is established by adjudication court. ↑ |

Did you read the part in your own post about "marriage certificate"? The child has to be made legitimate by the father.
Research this and you can see. Also take note of the part about the father signing to ensure financial support of this child until 18 years of age. You really think that's going to happen?
He doesn't even claim the child now. The US doesn't want to get stuck paying welfare benefits. Will be interesting to see the results of the paternity test when you were partying hard and "asleep" for 12 hours at a stretch in the US. Are you certain he is the father? Do you really know? Good luck with your quest. ↑ |

Oh and to ~kristen~ I didn't personally get a laugh out of your ~~~~~~~~~~~, but some others did. Sarah thinks your "boring"
and many others think your ~~~~~ are very entertaining. Perhaps you should consider becoming a clown? Or maybe you already are and don't know it?!? LMAO! ↑ |

~I would like to know what these "special circumstances" are that Sez is talking about~ I can see her trying to explain that one to the dept. of immigration~ Explaining to them that she got pregnant to some guy that she met over the internet that she knew for a month~Who now does'nt want to know her~ The dept. of immigration is going to laugh her out of the country~

3) the father (unless deceased) had agreed in writing to provide financial support for the person until the applicant reaches the age of 18 years, and
A) applicant is legitimated under the law of their residence or domicile,
~Yes Cinner~ This is true but the applicant, as you have stated in your post has to be legitimated~
~The individual who got Sez pregnant~ Does'nt want to know about it~
~anika~ ↑ |
| Name: anika_p | Date: Feb 21st, 2007 8:25 PM |
~I think Sez needs to realise that her child is not an american citizen and has no rights in the US~ I'm sure the situation would much different if Sez were married to this man~ or had an ongoing relationship with him~ Or if the child were born there~ That is not the case~

| Why are you so worried about her child? She has stated that she knows the father and where he is, so all she needs is a paternity test. Hell these days anyone can become a U.S citizen. I don't care what made you bring this up it is not your place to jump in her face to prove her wrong. How is her child's citizenship affecting you? ↑ |
