(59,627 posts)I went down to the US Embassy without an appointment, and was home by 2 PM the same day with their US Birth Certificates, their first passports, their social security numbers.
For my Germany-based daughter, it took her 11 months to get citizenship for her first daughter. For my other daughter, who will have her first baby in the next few weeks (which is why we're headed over), that won't be an issue. She might run into bureaucratic snags getting German citizenship for her baby (if she wants it), but I know the Germans will give it to you if one parent is German, and even if one grandparent is German. Plus, if he has U.S. and German nationality, the Germans won't tax him if he lives outside Germany. Only three countries in the world do NOT recognize residence-based taxation: Eritrea, some other small African nation (I forget which), and the USA.
