Hello, I'm usa citizen, my wife in pakistan, recently gave birth. I traveled to pakistan for crba. I filed crba online, and they asked for baby birth certificate by union council on nadra paper. We got birth certificate made by union council but I saw that under father(me) nationality it's listed as Pakistani, I was born in pakistan, but I got usa neutralized 3 years after birth and became usa citizen 9 years after birth in pakistan. So am I both usa and pakistani nationality?

 

The union council didn't put American as father(me) nationality on baby birth certificate, even though when I filled paper I listed I'm not from pakistan, I'm from outside usa, I called the union council and they said it doesn't matter because I have both nationality.

 

My question is should I remake the birth certificate to make sure it says father(me) nationality on it as american and not pakistan.  Remaking it takes time, they won't just fix it, so I have to restart the process.

 

I can't get appointment for crba untill I have birth certificate, should I upload this birth certificate or wait and get american written as nationality for father(me) on baby certificate for crba.

Did you submit whatever the documentation is that you gave up your Pakistan citizenship 

 

Not sure I have seen anyone ever do this.

I didn't submit any documents in regards to neutralization or giving up pakistani citizenship. I have a neutralization passbook, it's looks a passport but white / it says permit to reenter usa from when it was issued to me as a child.

 

 

 So when I was a baby, me going usa neutralization, did that mean i gave up pakistani nationality?

Neutralisation is a medical procedure.

 

Anyway it seems you are a Pakistani citizen so not sure what the issue is.

Unlikely. You're most likely citizen of both countries. You can hire a reputable lawyer in Pakistan who would know for sure whether you're a dual national or not. To give up / lose citizenship you typically need to work with government of citizenship, pay fees etc. If you never submitted any paperwork to Pakistani authorities to renounce your citizenship, you likely still have it.

Don't bother trying to fix that because realistically that's not an error. The thing about having multiple nationalities is that generally country A believes you to be solely their citizen and generally country B believes you to be solely their citizen. Pakistan also has Jus Soli, so by being born there you're most likely a citizen (unless you were born to foreign diplomats or enemy soldiers).

 

Do you have both? Most likely. Both US and Pakistan permit multiple nationalities, Pakistan doesn't strip their citizenship unless you become a citizen in a country where renunciation is a requirement to naturalize, in other words - you become a citizen of a country that doesn't permit multiple nationalities (e.g. Japan).

 

So yeah, submit that birth certificate of your kid and just ideally have something to link that entry listing you as a Pakistani to you. If you have a certificate of citizenship then that "lists a country of former nationality", otherwise you'd likely need to get a FOIA of your A-file, your Pakistani birth certificate, or a DNA test.

The word you are looking for is 'naturalized.'
