Yes, but you should apply for a "registration of birth abroad" at the nearest US mission.

Also when you get citizenship through parents you need to apply for the citizenship certificate.For this the Immigration Form N-600 should be filed. If your parents were US citizens but you were not born in the US, you are still legally a US citizen by birthright. You may be able to prove your citizenship and claim it by filing Form N600 (Application for Certificate of Citizenship).

I think so. But I am sometimes wrong. If the legal alien had a child and married a us citizen the mother can chose to leave it a legal alien or make it a us citizen.

Depending where was born.

French father flying over Mexico land mother is Japanese the child legally Mexican.

But usually parent will register birth in country they wish, dual.

Until one thing occurs child swears that county X is his/hers or enters the military of that country will be citizenships of that one.

I am American, wife Mexican. Son born in Mexico, no problem until he (not she) reaches 18 years old. By law must enter the military for training to many person can enter but NO ONE can leave Mexico until this service has been completed. At the end all males (in and out) of this service given certificate proving they did complete the requirements.

Our son was in the USA never left due to him not being able to leave Mexico until reached the certification age.

Life is interesting
