Kaylara,

would you not also gain citizenship then too? Being their mother?

Hmm, if it is that way, many women just let themselves got pregnant by USC citizens and having USC children then they could have a shortcut to gain their citizenship. They did not have to go through K-1 and CR-1/IR-1 routes to come in US. That's my 2 cents and my understanding.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm an American. Their father is Dutch. My children have dual citizenship.

My children don't confer citizenship on me. That's not how it works.

Sorry, am I misunderstanding something?

I could not agree more,

I am sorry I didn't realize you were the US citizen.

Ah, ok. But my children still don't confer citizenship on me. It only goes downline, not up.

My son is 8, born to me (canadian) and his dad (usc living in Canada). we went in the spring with the supporting documents to winnipeg Consulate and in 10 minutes we were told no problem and 3 weeks later received my son's certificate stating he is a USC. Citizenship does not pass over to spouse, that is why hubby is doing the i-130 for me. but my son is good to go now. Hope that helps OP.

Unless OP is a LPR and not a USC. There are guidelines as to who can apply. My hubby was born in Cali at birth and lived there until he moved here in which he was 29. He had his transcripts from schools, etc showing he lived there.
