(9,670 posts)Born in the USA to a German mother and American father.
Raised in the USA.
Mother applied for German citizenship for myself and my brother in 1976, when I was 16. Received my Staatsangehoerigkeit soon thereafter.
Applied for and received a German passport via the Atlanta consulate in 1996.
My first son was born in 1997 in the USA. We applied for, and obtained, German citizenship for him.
Moved to Germany in 1998 and entered as a German citizen, providing ample proof of my dual American citizenship at the time.
Lived in Germany (and Holland) as a German citizen from 1998 through 2005.
In 2002, our second son was born in Holland. We applied for, and obtained, German citizenship for him.
Returned to the States in 2005 as an American citizen with both of my dual citizen sons.
Odd that this is not possible.
