She it a citizens, as long as she has a current passport she is free to come and go at anytime. My child is due to be born shortly, and we will be moving to the Philippines in 5 years and wanted to make sure my child would not have an issue coming back if the choose to.

US Citizens do not need to 'claim' or apply for citizenship. They ARE citizens. Period. The United States IS their country and home. She has a US Birth Certificate and a passport... She can enter and leave the US as she wishes. She can look for jobs and school in the US like any other US citizen - and is free to enjoy the liberties, and freedoms, and opportunities in this great nation at will!

Born in US and she has her ssn,birth certificate and a passport ...no big deal.she is a US citizen and she can live anywhere in the world and come back to US anytime she likes.and it is nice also she registered her new residence at the US embassy

May God Bless Us All In This New World.We All Have Come From Afar And We Need The Lord's Guidance For Success.

NB:I am not an Immigration Attorney, All i say here is based on my personal experiences through K-1 visa process and CR1/IR1 visa process.

what were the fees for, paid at the US Embassy, and when did she pay?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
