Can we come home???
Find answers to your legal question.





Can we come home???

I am from the USA but my sons were born in Mexico. Things are bad in Mexico and now I want to come home. However, I want to know if its enough for my sons to have their American Passport and Birth Abroad Certificates in order for us to return to the U.S. soil? Their Mexican father wishes not to participate. Please no answers for points. This is serious and is an emergency. Thanks.

IF THEY HAVE THEIR AMERICAN PASSPORTS AND BIRTH CERTIFICATES, I'D THINK THAT WOULD DO. YOU COULD CHECK WITH YOUR AMERICAN CONSULATE IN MEXICO. WISHING YOU THE BEST.

yes. go to the embassy and tell them you want to go home!

If all of you have valid non-expired U.S. passports, just buy one-way tickets and leave that God forsaken 3rd world country and come back to the only superpower in the world.

That should be enough for them to enter the country, if they have an American passport then they are American citizens.

YOUR BEST BET FOR ANSWERS IS GOING TO THE US EMBASSY !!!

It sounds like you probably have all the proper paperwork but just to be sure here are two links to check. The first shows how to determine if your sons are US citizens, the second shows what you will need to enter the US. Not sure if you need the first link, but I posted it just in case. Lots of luck!

As far as I know that identification should be enough to come back into the USA. As far as I know no matter what country you are born in you automatically are also a citizen of the country that the mother holds citizenship.


defender
It makes no difference where on this earth your children were born as long as you were an American citizen at the time of birth of your children! Your children have the right for American citizenship and as you say, they have already an American passport anyway!
Therefore, naturally you can come home any time! American citizens are free people, free to travel and stay wherever they want!

I think that that they do need papers but because you are american they might have a chance of having dual citizenship

i'm sorry, i dont know the answer and im not doing this for points but i wanted to wish you and your sons luck and i hope you get safely to the u.s. :)

Yes, you can. As long as you have not given up your US citizenship and you have raised your boys yourself, you can return to the US at any time, no questions asked.

Call the consulate and ask them. Don't just guess from the answers here.

1) As someone said - if you never relinquished your citizenship, then your sons will automatically have that as well as citizenship of the country they were born in.
2) You may need to contact the US consulate in Mexico to make sure you have all the necessary paperwork. It would be no good to get to immigration control in the US and find you are missing something.
3) If you are married to their father, and "...wishes not to participate..." means that he is not moving as well, then you may have a problem. He can legally stop you from leaving Mexico with his children.
4) If you are not married to their father, then there could still be complications, if he really doesn't want you to leave. As the father of the children, he does have the same rights as you to be with them.
5) Following 3 and 4, you will most likely need a statement or signature from their father saying he is happy for you to leave, and take his (and your) sons with you.

I am not sure that this is what you wanted to hear.

In any case... Good luck :-)
