-
@looch: I didn't know your son was born abroad. Does he have that country's citizenship then? What about US?
-
@locavore_mama: He has both, but the rules in Swtizerland are different than in the US.
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.
-
Yep. Born and raised in Canada.
-
Born in the US living in Canada.
-

-
Born about 100 miles from where I live now. My parents still live in the same house. DH wasn't though. He emigrated to the US about 15 years ago.
-
Born in the US, living in Austria. DD was just born in Austria.
-
@lamariniere: Is she eligible to be Austrian?
-
Yep, born in the US. Not in this state, though!
-
@looch: nope. 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.
-
Yup, born in the US and have always lived here!
-
Yep, Canada!
-
Yup! Born in the US and I've never left! I've not even left the eastern side of the country.

-
I was. And I'm living in the same city I was born in.
-
Yup
-
Yup. Born and raised in the US, in Missouri. I live on the opposite side of the state now though (about 300 miles away from where I was born)
-
@looch: @lamariniere: @locavore_mama: Hong Kong rules are similar. 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.
-
@looch: it's the same rules here as well. 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.
