DH and I wonder about what would happen if DD ended up marrying a European, all the while living in Europe. I'm pretty sure my grand kids won't be able to take on US citizenship unless DD lives there for a few years.

Neither of my daughters is/will be eligible for citizenship although they were both born here. For that their father or I would have to be a Hong Kong citizen or of Chinese descent (in some circumstances). We don't qualify for either, so the most they can get is permanent residency after we've lived here for seven years.

It's like Switzerland. At least one parent has to be Austrian. Apparently, as early as 30ish years ago the FATHER had to be Austrian for the child to obtain citizenship. I know a woman my age who was born here to an Austrian mother and South African father and she is only South African (but she doesn't live here anymore). But not being Austrian isn't a big deal since DD is still European through my husband.

For example, if you are born in the US to non US parents, you are an American Citizen. My son was born abroad to an American Citizen, so he is an American Citizen. Switzerland is different. You can be physically born in the country, but if you do not have at least one Swiss parent, you can not be Swiss. If my son were born in the US, he would be eligible to be Swiss as well, because he would have been born to a Swiss Citizen living abroad. regberadaisy on "Were you born in the country you're living in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-born-in-the-country-youre-living-in#post-1383454 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 09:23:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1383454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @looch: I didn't know your son was born abroad.
