What Nationality am I if I was Born here In the US and my parents born in another country?
Many Ignorant people say that you are what your parents are. Here's my background. My mother was born In Cuba, but her parents are from Spain. My father was born here in US and his mother is from Canada his father is from France. And I was Born here in the US. What am I? Cause many people tell me that I'm not american. That I am what my parents are.
Can you be a citizen of two different countries?
Sure it's pretty easy. The easiest way is to be born dual. Say for example a British parent gives birth to a child born in the USA. The child is automatically British through the parent (although certain rules do apply) and is American because they're born on US soil. Let's not forget the other parent who may be.. say Canadian so the child may have a right to Canadian citizenship as well. For older people there's naturalization. You're born in one country with a nationality and you migrate to another country. You spend a certain amount of years there, assimilating to the culture and after that you (or your parents if you're a minor) swear an oath of allegiance to the new country enabling you to get a new citizenship. Have to be careful though some countries don't allow dual and you are breaking the laws if you have it.
Is a child a citizen of whatever country they are born in ?
There are very few countries that force citizenship automatically on people born there. The US does it because of the peculiar circumstances at the time of the country's creation. At independence, all the people were British subjects of course and many, particularly in the south, wanted to remain British. So a law was created that forced people to take American citizenship if born in America. Until 1984 Americans were not allowed dual citizenship either. My aunt happened to have been born in China as my father was working there at the time. I always ask Americans if they think she should have been forced to be Chinese. For some reason they look rather oddly at me when I ask them this. Edit: Until 1984 US citizens entering USA who were discovered to be carrying a UK passport routinely had that passport taken away and destroyed. A series of Supreme Court decisions made that illegal and the practice stopped in 1984. http://unitedkingdom.usembassy.gov/cons_...

Are children born in China automatically Chinese citizens if one parent is Chinese and the other a US citizen with an American passport?
Ah I think you're mistaken by the concept of jus soli and jus sanguinis.USA adopts jus soli as their basis of citizenship law, meaning the children who were born in USA and anywhere within USA jurisdiction territory are automatically granted US citizenship. But US citizenship law also states if at least one of your parents is a permanent resident or a citizen, your children will be granted a US citizenship as wellWhereas in China, it mainly operates on basis of jus sanguinis (right of blood) which means your children need to at least have one person who holds Chinese permanent residency or Chinese citizenship to acquire Chinese citizenship for your children regardless of where they were born, the place of birth is not relevant.Now back to your situation, the thing about your situation is now you and your husband have a choice between giving your child a Chinese citizenship or US citizenship. You are eligible for both options BUT you can only choose one because maybe you're not realising china only allows one citizenship (dual citizenship is not allowed) whereas US does recognise dual or multiple citizenship so even though technically your children have dual citizenship but they can only choose one due to conflicting dual citizenship law between 2 countries.Your children will be US citizens regardless because you are an American citizen. But if you want an easier way, it's better to have the children to be born in the US because the children will automatically get the birth certificate to claim US passport whereas if you have your kids born outside US, you will need to go to the immigration and prove you're a US citizen married with non US citizen and claim a US citizenship for your children. You might have to support the proofs with legitimate documents such as marriage certificate, your birth certificate, passport copy, etc.But I think there are requirements to get US citizenship, such as you must have been living in the USA for a period of time, I'm not quite sure about this one but you can check USCIS website.Source:Nationality law of the People's Republic of China - WikipediaUnited States nationality law - Wikipediahttp://lawandborder.com/advantag...Disclaimer: I'm not a US immigration attorney, and my answer is solely based on my understanding and research.

Can you be a U.S. citizen if you're born outside th U.S.?
If at least 1 of the parents are a US citizen AND that parent lived in the USA for at least 5 years AND 2 of those years were after the age of 14 the child can be a US citizen. The parent(s) must go to the US Embassy or any US Consulate and file a form called Consular Report of Birth Abroad. The parent(s) will submit their own US passport, a copy of their marriage certificate, a copy of the child's birth certificate and proof of having lived in the USA. The Embassy or Consulate will then issue the child a US Passport, Social Security Card, Consular Certificate of Birth and completed copy of the Consular Report of Birth Abroad. Understand, some people believe that US military bases overseas and US Embassies are "US soil." This is not correct. A child born in an embassy or on a US military base does not get US citizenship unless the parent(s) are also US citizen(s).

Is a child born in the US embassy in Moscow a citizen of Russia or America?
The child would not derive US citizenship based only on birth inside the US embassy. Embassies are not sovereign territory. So, unless one or both parents are US citizens, the child would not be eligible for US citizenship. If the child was eligible for Russian citizenship based on the citizenship of the parents, it would be a Russian citizen. Of course, the parents might not be Russian citizens, and if that's the case, the child's citizenship would depend on the citizenship laws in the parents' country/ies. There are many different citizenship laws in the various countries, so no one can really answer this definitively in an abstract question. In any case, it's highly unlikely to happen as US embassies don't maintain maternity wards, and many don't even have doctors, although the embassy in Moscow does at least have a doctor. You can be sure, the embassy would make every effort to get an ambulance to take the mother to the nearest hospital asap.
