I was born in Canada too, My parents reported my Birth to the American consulate in Vancouver, BC and guess what I am a Natural Born Citizen of the united states. the only way to lose citizenship is to run out the clock (18 years) on reporting the babies birth
Are both of your parents American citizens? If so, your case is totally different from Cruz. If a Mother can confer citizenship, allegiance and loyalty to her birth country . . one would assume the Father does the same. We have to take into consideration that Rafael, Sr. was a Cuban citizen so just as naturally as Cruz’ Mother gave him HER birth citizenship . . wouldn’t Cruz’ Father have automatically done the same? Or is the Father not as important as the Mother? Since Biblical times, the Father’s bloodline has held a lot of authority over how the Son was to be considered.
There is no clock to run out. You can claim citizenship at any age as long as the conditions are met for derivative citizenship.
Did Ted's parents do this?
