Does the child have China nationality after immigrating to the United States?

Not long ago, a client asked Kaisheng's immigration consultant. Customers will land in the United States soon after successful immigration. The husband and wife plan to have a child in the United States, and after the child is born, they can obtain American citizenship. However, immigrant customers are eager to know, can children still obtain China nationality? In this regard, Kaisheng immigration consultant explained as follows: nationality is the legal relationship between an individual and a specific country, which is determined by the laws of that country. Although it will be influenced by the laws of other countries, it is not determined by the laws of other countries. In other words, whether you have American citizenship is determined by American law, and whether you have China citizenship is determined by China law. As soon as a child is born, it has legal relations with two countries: the United States and China. Whether the child is American or not is determined by the American Nationality Law, and whether the child is China or not is determined by the China Nationality Law. American citizenship is determined by the place of birth. A child is an American citizen at birth, regardless of his parents' immigration status and whether the child has other nationalities. The United States only recognizes children's American nationality, but does not recognize children's foreign nationality, but does not interfere with children's foreign nationality and use foreign passports outside the United States. China Nationality: According to Article 5 of the Nationality Law, "One or both parents are citizens of China, and I was born in a foreign country and have China nationality; However, if both or one of my parents is a citizen of China and has settled in a foreign country, and I was born with a foreign nationality, I do not have China nationality. " In other words, the nationality of China is determined by the immigration status of parents. If one parent has a green card, the child will not have China citizenship. Generally speaking, the American consulate thinks that one parent can be recognized as China nationality without a green card. In the domestic public security bureau, due to different local policies, the reading ability and attitude of clerks are different, and "two sides or one side" can have different understandings, as you can imagine. If you can be recognized as a citizen of China, because the child is an American citizen, you can't issue a passport according to the principle of no dual nationality. Therefore, according to China's characteristic administrative methods (one country, two systems, Hong Kong and Macao Pass, etc.). ), issue travel permits. After returning to China, the legal status in China is from China, so in theory, it should be possible to register. However, the policies of local public security bureaus are different, and they should return to China to work hard. The travel permit is valid for two years and can enter and leave the country multiple times. Before the travel permit expires, you can go back to America to extend it. If you go abroad after the travel permit expires, you should generally apply to the Public Security Bureau for a one-time exit permit and generally cancel your account. If you don't want to close your account, you can only apply for a passport to go abroad. Because as a citizen of China, you won't get on the plane without a visa. As an American citizen, the United States will not issue visas. So in this case, it is impossible to leave the country normally. Kaisheng immigration experts around you!
