United States Citizen?
Find answers to your legal question.





United States Citizen?

What if you were born in a Mexican plane. And this plane was flying over the United States. And your dad is american and your mom is mexican. Would this make you an american citizen because you were born over america, or a Mexican because it was a mexican vessel? help me

It's irrelevant. You'd likely be an American citizen because your father is an American citizen.

If your father was also a Mexican citizen, my guess would be that if your plane took off from Mexico (instead of the US) a judge would rule that you were not technically born on American soil (as without identification you wouldn't be cleared to enter the country through customs).

The plane thing is irelevant. If the father is a US citizen, his child has a right to US citizenship. And if the mother is a Mexican citizen, the child has a right to Mexican citizenship. It's a dual-national. Each parent has to register the birth and obtain a passport for the child from the parent's own country to protect the child's rights to both citizenships.

You will have the option of having dual citizenship or just one, based on the citizenship of your parents at your time of birth. The airplane or the country beneath it has nothing to do with it. Chances are the airplane will refuse boarding to a pregnant woman (9 months) because of the inadequate facilities on the plane if ever she gives birth.**
