No, there isn't. That's why I'm saying the OP is living in denial! What she is saying is simply not true. 

 

 

 

 

Here.. so many different sites saying the same thing. If the father is german and married to the mother or acknowledged paternity, the kids are german. As easy as that. And many people have already said it. She just doesn't want to see it, because she wants her kids to be US citizens.

Holy Christ did you read the thread? Or do you just reply to posts? I said WHAT YOU SAID in the post right after that. Only less wordy.    

 

Btw do you have children? Babies? Twins? Do you ever think that maybe someone with 6 month old twin babies may just have some brain fog right now and dont need people attacking them?  No? Well heres your FYI.  

Im outs.  Reply all ya want. Dont care. Have a great day!

I've read this thread and to summarize:

 

On German citizenship, even wikipedia says, 

 

"one usually acquires German citizenship if a parent is a German citizen, irrespective of place of birth"

 

So the twins should be able to get the German passport (exception mentioned is if the father is a minor).

 

On American citizenship, the mother has not lived enough time in the U.S. after turning 14 years old so she cannot give citizenship to the kids. However, people have mentioned that the grandparents, if American, should be able to give citizenship to the grandkids because they lived for over 10 years in the US (while the mother of twins was growing up).

 I think it would have been easier for a child born abroad to become a US citizen if the dad is American rather than the mom (correct me if I'm wrong)

Wrong. America does not discriminate based on gender.

 

In the "old days" however, if the parents were not married, it was actually easier if the mother rather than the father was American.

I felt the need to following this initial response to the same thing I responded to...

Your children are German citizens and I would advise you guys to apply for their German citizenship. With their passports in hand, you can then apply for their I-130 and have them become LPR's and adjusting for their naturalisation as soon as you become eligible.

If I am not mistaken, once the minor kids come into the US with their USC mother and their immigrant visas they automatically acquire US citizenship.

Correct, although they should either file an N-600 for a naturalization certificate OR (preferably) apply for a US passport. Otherwise they have no proof of being a USC.
