A Mexican woman gets pregnant by an American in Mexico, is the child automatically an American?
Answer:
Nope. It's classified as a midget illegal alien.
Right by blood, yes. The other way to naturally become a citizen is to be born on U.S. ground.
Haha get owned, I'm right everyone who put the thumbs down! Back to Constitution class for you all!
Jus Sanguinis (blood)
Jus Soli (birth place)

Absolutley not.
No
My guess would be no.
Yes
Yes..
Not unless they are married.
No.
The father can take the child to the american embassy in Mexico and then he would be an American. Call the embassy.
No. It would have to be born in the U.S.
No. Only those children born in the US are American citizens.
Yes, the child is because the father was American, but the mother does not automatically become a citizen.
"It" meaning the child is a US citizen. Register the child at the nearest US consulate.
no because it would have to be born in the USA to be legally a citizen. by blood yes but it wouldnt be counted as a citizen.
haha wtf shes a mexican and hes an AMERCIAN who just so happnes to live in mexico..does that make any sense.
of course not ...
the kid is an american
i ges
idk
No the child will be Mexican by birth. But you can aply for a US dule citizen Pasport from the US embasy in Mexico. the proof of a legal US parent will be requested. if you dont do this the child will need a visa just like every other Mexican.
Half American by blood, but Mexican by birth. It's the same with people who move to America pregnant, and then give birth in the states. They are an immigrant, but their child is an American.
If the American is married to the Mexican citizen, then the answer is yes. Many children have been born to American parents while out of the country, and the children are thus born American citizens.
Legally, yes.
Any child of an American born on foreign soil is automatically an American citizen. This applies regardless of the marital status of the man or woman. Practically, however, it is possible for the child to never be registered as an American citizen if the man returns to America and doesn't report the pregnancy due to lack of knowledge of the pregnancy or because he does not want to acknowledge the pregnancy. Likewise, if the man returns and does not report the pregnancy, then the child will most likely not become a citizen unless the woman somehow gets to America, tracks the man she got pregnant with down, and gets a DNA test to prove the relationship.
So, practically, it's possible, though improbable. Legally, yes.
The child is entitled to American Citizenship, but there are some forms and a few fees,,and your best and fastest way to do it is to do a "Child Born Abroad".but remember, once the child hits 18,,the child will have to choose what citizenship he/she wants,,the US does not recognize dual citizenship once yo hit 18,,,,,,,
Yes, but the father has to claim the child is his. Or the mother has to be able to prove (via DNA test) the child is his. It can be a long process if the father denies the child. I know people from the Philippines that had to wait until they were in their 20's before they could prove their father was American.
It's also not true that the US does not recognize dual citizenship. My husband is stationed with a guy who has dual citizenship. I think it is only fine if the child is born abroad with an American parent. I know a guy I was stationed with in Japan had to give up his American citizenship if he choose to have Japanese citizenship (his mom was Japanese.) He did not have dual to begin with.
I also know that children born to military families in Japan had the opportunity to come back to Japan at 18 and take some test to have dual citizenship with Japan and the US. However they would have to know Japanese and Japanese customs/laws to be able to pass the test.
We are hoping to have our next child in England so he will be eligible for dual citizenship.
My wife was born in Monterey so I know this one.
The child is a duel citizen. This means the child is a US and a mexican citizen. If one if your parents is an American citizen you are an American citizen. If one of your parents is a Mexican citizen you are a Mexican citizen.
No. She's gotta get across the border before the kid's born. Then she's home-free -- which should be illegal.
no
Mexico should not allow that child to gain Mexican citizenship. They should be kicked out of the country the way people like to do to Mexicans who have kids here.
You should see how many people here don't like "anchor" babies. They shouldn't let them into the consulate either. everyone knows only Europeans have that right.
NOPE
yes the baby is a citizen. my brother was in this exact same situation. he registered her with his name , filed papers i think at the american consulate and within a few days she was declared a citizen, for his wife it took about two years to finally get her residency but for his daughter it was automatic his daughter will be two next month and his wife became a resident a few months ago. she received a "fiance" visa last year and has been here exactly a year yesterday. dont think much has changed . yes the baby was born in mexico they were not married when the baby was born they had to get married in the united states according to the regulations of the "fiance" visa
pretty sure the child is. b/c a parent is american makes the child an american
In the USA we offer citizenship based on both jus soli (Latin for "right of soil").and jus sanguinis (Latin for "right of blood").
Citizenship can be recognized to any individual born to a parent who is a national or citizen of the USA or to any individual born in the USA, Mexico also allows jus sanguinis. The child would most likely have automatic citizenship of the country in which he is born, but would be eligible for dual citizenship. The exception to that would be if the child was born in another country that has abolished or modified jus soli such as India, Ireland, Malta, or New Zealand.
