I was born in Ireland, but my gran father who a passed away was born in America. Can i claim citizenship?
Answer:
you can but their is a waiting period
there you go you do know that you can become an irish citizen.get ur self over here and enjoy the irish humour over a few pints of the black stuff
What a great opportunity you have, try to contact your relatives. I hear that the Irish economy is booming and there are plenty of jobs, such a beautiful country. My ancestors were on the border to Scotland, but all gone now. Good Luck!
My understanding of immigration laws is that the only way you can claim citizenship is if you are born here or go through the naturalization process. You can have dual citizenship, but it takes a very long time. (I have a friend who is German, and has been living in the U.S. for 6 years, he has to be here for 10 before he can start the dual citizenship process).
Every countries laws on citizenship are different. I don't think grandparents count in the U.S.
There's a link on the bottom for the U.S. Citizenship guidelines/applications/etc. You could read through that and if you have more questions, just contact them directly. Hope that helps! :)
if he was born and raised in U.S i think he keeps his citizenship /think u have a good chance/Good luck
Ps try the American Consulate in Dublin&Belfast.
Your U.S. born grandfather would have no bearing on your citizenship. You'd have to apply for it just like any other immigrant.
NOT A CHANCE!!!!! You have to be born in the US. or born abroad to Parents WHO ARE US CITIZENS. Grand parents don't count!!
Yes, you can
Sorry no.. I don't think you can. :-/
Your grandfather would have needed to register the births of his children with the US Embassy in Ireland to pass his American citizenship onto them. If he didn't do this then they would be Irish, not American. That makes you Irish, not American.
I tried to claim Canadian dual citizen thru my grandpa, it didn't work for me, it doesn't sound like this will work for you. Try to have a relative sponsor you. My grandma sponsored some of our family from Austria & Germany after WWII, it is a pretty common practice.
No, you can't. You can apply for American citizenship only if you're under 18 years old and you parent(s) is/are have American citizenship.
