I'm not referring to the ability to visit the US. Both have valid
passports. Since I am an American citizen, I would like my daughter to have
her formal document stating that she is an American citizen as well. (This
is the Certificate of Citizenship I am referring to. Filed with form N-600.)
It is a document for American children born outside of the US to get their
citizenship documentation.
Anyone have any sage advice?
