Non-US citizen wife pregnant?

Question

If a non-US girl is pregnant and goes to US and delivers a baby. Will that baby be US citizen or not? Secondly, will it render baby's mom and dad as citizens of their country of origin or will they become US citizen?

And how same applies to CANADA?

Answer 1

The child will be a citizen of the country it was born in but the parents will not.  It is called having an anchor baby.

Answer 2

the child that is born will be a US citizen (this is the same for Canada)

Mother and Father, still hold their original citizenship though. They would still need to apply for citizenship. They maybe able to get a longer period of residency though, without the need for naturalization.

Answer 3

i know in the border they will stop you if you show so much and will notl let you in!

Answer 4

hjas is right. I would add that not only will the parents' citizenship not be affected, but neither will their immigration status. They won't derive any right to live in the US simply because their child was born here. The child could eventually file immigrant petitions for them, but only after the child turns 21.

Answer 5

the child will be an US citizen, the US applies the law of soil,

no, it will not make the parents citizens for that reason,the parents will keep the citizenship of their country,

a child born in Canada will be a citizen;

Persons Born in Canada After February 14, 1977 Section 3(1)(a) of the Current Act states that anyone born in Canada after February 14, 1977 is considered a Canadian citizen. This was the date that the Current Act came into force

the parents in Canada will also keep their citizenship;

ps:

as the person above me said, if you are so far along within your pregnancy, airlines will not allow you to board, usually after either 7 months,
