There are different conditions applicable to people born to US citizen
parent(s) depending on the time frames they were born in. It is
difficult to
say Yes or No without knowing the details of when the child was born
and the
status of the parents at the time the child was born.
Refer the case to Nationality Chart 1 or Chart 2.[/QUOTE]
But isn't that more to do with whether the person is eligible for
citizenship in the first place? If not, then that's an end to the
matter (basically). If the person is a citizen, though, I don't think
that that citizenship can be lost as a matter of routine. Do correct me
if I'm wrong.
