yes that doesn't matter in this case, that was just a modification to the law prior to June 2017 if you were the only us citizen then you would only need 1 year of physical presence, that was eliminated and now is always 5, but in cases where one parent is an alien, please see that the article refers you in this case " If the individual cannot show that the U.S. citizen father meets the requirements of 309(a)", 

 

in this case you have 2 us citizen parents, the other us citizen parent has to comply with 309(a) that refers to acknowledge the child or legitimate and to acknowledge by written that he is gonna provide financial support for the child, this needs to be done in front of the consul.

 

This was done he sent it to me from the states

clearly states the following:

 

7 FAM 1133.4-5(A)  Birth Out of Wedlock to Two U.S. Citizen Parents

(CT:CON-748;   11-15-2017)

A child born abroad out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen father and a U.S. citizen mother acquires U.S. citizenship at birth if the U.S. citizen father first meets the four requirements of INA 309(a) after which, by the terms of 309(a), the provisions of INA 301(c) apply, and either U.S. citizen parent must establish that he/she has had a residence in the United States prior to the child's birth (see 7 FAM 1333.4-2 regarding residence).  If the individual cannot show that the U.S. citizen father meets the requirements of 309(a), but a claim can be made through the mother under INA 309(c) you should adjudicate the claim in accordance with 7 FAM 1133.4-5(C)(2) if the child was born before June 11, 2017, but if the child was born on or after June 12, 2017, please refer to AskPPTAdjudication@state.gov.

My daughter was born after june 12th 2017

Yes he is a US citizen 

That's exactly what I'm seeing but because they are born out of wedlock they are using the law under a child born to a US citizen mother

So my daughters crba was denied because me and her father didn't meet the physical requirements of five years two being after our 14th birthdays we are both US citizens so we can't get her a passport from here (GHANA)  because in their law she has to be born to Ghanaians  to be a citizen even though she was born here.  So she has no travel documents and so far we are going in circles from us embassy to uscis... anybody ever been in this situation or know of any options along with getting a lawyer
