Hello all...

I am the mother of an illegitimate son whose father is a U.S. Citizen. My son presently resides in the U.S. with me. I am in the U.S. under a TN-Visa and am a Canadian Citizen. My son's father has acknowledged his birth and pays child support through the State of Ohio. I would like to claim U.S. citizenship for my son and it is my understanding that I will need to submit a Consular Report of Birth form to a U.S. Consulate to do so. How do I go about doing this if my son's father will not cooperate with me? From what I can tell, I will need some sort of U.S. documentation for his father in order to establish his citizenship.

Has anyone successfully claimed U.S. citizenship for their child without the U.S. citizen's cooperation?

Thank you for any and all advice...

In that case download an N-600 application and the accompanying instructions from the USCIS Web site. Study what proof is needed in regard to the father and figure out how to get it.

Vietnamese people successfully claim US citizenship based on fathers who were soldiers in 'Nam, so you should be able to do the same, as you have all the information about the father anyway.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
