Dad UK/Mom USA.
I am divorced from my usa ex, and a UK citizen born and bred. We have a son together who lives with me .
He was born in UK, now 12yrs old holding Brit passport. I recently tried to get his mother to help him get dual nationality,which I felt was his Birthright, and as she has contributed precious little to his life till now except sadness*(she lives in UK). I have her social security number and an endouring power of attorney,also details of her birthplace . Can I apply on his behalf to The US Consulate in London without his mother's help. and what will it get ME. :blink: |

Was your son's birth ever registered with the London Consulate? This will need to be done before he can apply for a US passport. The following webpage on the London Consulate's website should get you started: Reporting The Birth of a Child to U.S. Citizen Parent(s) in the UK
and what will it get ME. :blink: ~ Jenney |

If you are hoping to move to the US with him then he can't do anything regarding sponcering you until he is aged 21 otherwise http://britishexpats.com/articles/us...rk-in-the-usa/

Well, I guess it would give you a son who gets a shiny new US passport and money missing from your bank account so he can have it. I don't understand your question. You'll have to be more specific. ~ Jenney |

Don't forget he needs to file for Selective Service at 18 and also file US tax returns. |

He will need to file taxes when he earns money unless his earnings are below a certain amount. If he's doing a paper round at the moment, I wouldn't worry about it. |

Re: Dad UK/Mom USA.
Let me qoute from my original thread
" recently tried to get his mother to help him get dual nationality,which I felt was his Birthright, and as she has contributed precious little to his life till now except sadness*(she lives in UK). I have her social security number and an endouring power of attorney,also details of her birthplace . Can I apply on his behalf to The US Consulate in London without his mother's help. his note appears at the foot of the first paragraph? Note: If only one parent is a U.S. citizen, and that parent is not presently in this country, please contact this office for further instructions. This is the position. Now can anyone shed light on the question I posed . Which was ? Can I apply on his behalf to The US Consulate in London without his mother's help.:o |

Depending on the length of time his mother was living outside of the USA before he was born he may not necessarily be one?. http://travel.state.gov/law/info/info_609.html |
