Hi all!

 

Since we are expecting our baby, there are just some questions pop up, I'm from Hong Kong and my husband is US citizen.

 

So our baby gonna have dual nationality? Or how this thing works? 

 

If anyone has any idea/experience on this feel free to comment :) 

 

Thanks much!

Congrats!

 

As for US citizenship, if born in the US OR born to a USC parent who meets the requirements for deriving citizenship (basically living in the US 5+ years, of which 2+ are age 14 or later), then they will have US citizenship at birth.

I'll defer on the question for any other citizenship.
