Ok SS, since you really want to claim your post of the rules regarding "Acquisition of U.S. citizenship by a child born abroad" proves me wrong, I'll go thru it paragraph by paragraph and you can tell me where the document applies to our conversation, ok ?
paragraph 1: Birth Abroad to Two U.S. Citizen Parents in Wedlock
Barry has 1 NON U.S. citizen parent- paragraph does NOT apply.
Paragraph 2:Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock
This one is interesting as it states "A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth."
...So here it further states: "For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.)" According to the released birth certificate (box #15) the age of the mother is 18. Basic math- 14 + 5 = 19. Seems Barry's mother is a year short of the requirement in your posted document to pass on citizenship to her child.
Paragraph 3:Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Father – “New” Section 309(a)
This entire section pertains to a child born abroad to a citizen FATHER. Does NOT apply to our discussion as Barry's father is a kenyan citizen.
Paragraph 4:Birth Abroad Out-of-Wedlock to a U.S. Citizen Mother:
Doesn't apply as Barry's mother was married at the time of his birth.
So, again I ask you how does this document indicate that "I showed you the law that proves you wrong."
