U.S. citizenship for a foreign-born biological child living abroad

[Patricia Medina]

Hello, I have a question regarding my specific situation.
I am a U.S. citizen parent of a foreign-born biological child but we DO NOT and HAVE NEVER resided in the U.S. (We live in Mexico City)
I acquired my citizenship by birth: my mother is a U.S. citizen and lived in the States for the first 23 years of her life.
My husband (the child's father) is Mexican.
I have been told many different things and would like to know what my options are for my son to acquire U.S. citizenship. Could you please help?

The best thing for you to do is contact the US Embassy in Mexico City and ask them for assistance. Depending upon the unique facts and circumstances, there are different ways to approach this.

Hi
Am applying for citizenship for my children born abroad.
Have two questions:
1) I have a US bank account, can I make out cheques to pay for the application process from that account even though i am not a US resident?
2) I have a birth certificate and marriage certificate that are in a foreign language.
They have been translated by a certified translator. However, the translator's certificate is not in English. Do you think this is a problem? By the way, someone who has gone through the process said that it should be notarized. is that true?
