First I want to say that I wish you didnt have to go through this time of grief. It is a terrible thing to endure and it being early days I know you are probably still numb. I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers.

You dont have to do anything. Your daughter is an automatic UK citizen by virtue of her father. As long as he is on the birth certificate and you were married then you dont have to do a thing. One less thing to worry about at this time.

sorry for your loss - op

Did you mean she is UK citizen by her mother (from post it looks like dad passed away and he was USC)

I dont know if you can keep both British and American passport.

I dont know if you can keep both British and American passport.

The father was British and the OP is American. I have dual citizen children born in the USA and I didnt have to do anything in order to give them citizenship.You can hold both citizenships if you are from the UK for sure. The only problem that I ever had was when I was applying for my children's UK passports from the consulate in DC and they returned my application with a note that I get all my children's American passport first. Even my children that were born in the UK. I think they did that to in case I was trying to take the kids out of the USA without their fathers permission/knowledge so when she does register her daughter she may have to attach her husband's death certificate.

Apologies to OP for saying that.I dont mean to cause you any more pain.

My husband was killed in a car accident last week. We have filed for our AOS and only have recieved his parole. I am not sure what to do reguarding the visa. Does anyone know what steps I need to take. We also just had a baby and I need to get dual citizenship for her can anyone help me in this area. I am not sure if I am in the right area I just need some advice on what to do. Thank you in advanced.

Erin, I am so sorry for your loss. This is a really tough thing to go through and I can't imagine what you must be feeling.

Leenie correctly said that your daughter is automatically entitled to UK citizenship through British parentage. You can register the birth with the British Embassy but it is not obligatory. You can just apply directly for a passport. However as the British parent is now deceased you may wish to register the birth at the Embassy as it's a useful document for proving nationality. Website is: http://ukinusa.fco.gov.uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/living-in-usa/birth-registration/

You don't have to do any of this right now. Take your time, give yourself some time.
