Hello. I want to know if I can just go get my passport to prove citizenship status.
I was born in Mexico in 1997 and my parents were married just before my birth. They got divorced 2 years after. Mexico has “patria potestad” which is like parental authority, something that I believe is not a thing in the US. That was shared between both my parents and the custody was my mother’s. That’s what happens in more than 90% of the divorce cases where the child is still very young. My dad moved to the US and became a citizen in 2009. In 2015 he got me my green card, just before I turned 18. I have a stamp that proves I crossed the border into the US before my 18th birthday as a LPR. We tried to get my passport right away but my dad did not have the divorce papers translated, so he was just told to try again after he could bring them. We never tried again because he did not technically have custody at the time of the divorce. I have been trying to make a little research and the “patria potestad” is allowing both parents to be responsible and take care of a child, and also decide where they live. I guess that I could go try my luck again by myself with the US passport providing my evidence (stamped Mexican passport) of the child citizenship act applying for myself, even if I’m 6 years late. I don’t know about the custody tho, I guess I can ask for the translated divorce papers and hope the patria potestad applies for the child citizenship act (?)
Hello,
So recently I've been trying to acquire my US passport through the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. I previously tried applying for a naturalization certificate with an N-400 form, but that was denied since it turned out I was already a citizen, which I guess is great.
However, when I tried submitting my documents to get my US Passport, the lady at the front refused to take my DS-11 form since, according to her, I needed to have a Certificate of Citizenship from an N-600 form already since I'm already over 18 years old. However, I was unable to find any source online saying that you need to fill out an N-600, and I'd rather not just yet since I'd like to acquire my US passport soon and the N-600 application process adds another few months of processing time (plus an extra $1170 in fees on top of passport fees). In fact, a lot of sources say to bypass the N-600 and just get the US passport first, since the US passport is cheaper and allows for travel to other countries. (I was born in a developing country from which travel to most first world countries requires a visa.) However, all of these sources assume that it's the parent who's submitting the application for their kids, which I guess doesn't apply to me since I'm applying as an adult.
Was the lady at the front desk wrong? In which case, should I go to another post office to try and get my passport documents submitted? Thanks so much for reading my question!
So, a little background information first. I'm the child of two immigrant parents, and I was born in 1991. We immigrated to the states in 1993, and my father became a naturalized citizen in 1999. I am currently (or have been? I'm not really sure at this point) a green card holder.
I applied to become a citizen myself sometime last year, completely unaware of this act, and just received a letter from the immigration office that, to my surprise, my application had been denied because I did not have alien status. They also told me to fill out an N600 for a certificate of citizenship, which seems totally reasonable to me, because I have no proof of that at this point.
Here's what seems pertinent on the Wikipedia article about the CCA: > The child must have at least one U.S. citizen parent by birth or naturalization, be under 18 years of age (have been born on or after February 27, 1983),[1] live in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent, and be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence.
I guess I'm just kind of wondering...what's the deal now? Am I legally a citizen of the United States? I've been applying to things like college and grad school with my green card/resident alien number, will there be any reprecussions for that (I'm a senior in college, do I have to contact these schools to let them know that I'm now a citizen retroactively)? Is my foreign passport still valid?
I'm happy that (I guess) I can be considered a US Citizen, but I'm also a little lost, and I could use some help!
Bear with me here. So from what I remember it’s a family where the boy is wheelchair bound and they get this not quite a human child robot. He(?) looks like a real person and everything and acts like one but he can’t eat food. At one point at the dinner table he tries to eat and it messes things and everyone freaks out.
I'd be super happy if someone knew about this source of this citation. Thanks!
Hey yall.
You might have seen some posts about Adam Crapser, an international adoptee from Korea who is being threatened with deportation (http://www.reddit.com/r/asianamerican/comments/2xtl6x/adam_crapser_korean_american_adoptee_and_abuse/)
Well now more and more adoptees are coming out of the woodwork on this, and we're seeing that the Child Citizenship Act left adult adoptees out. If amended, it could retroactively give US citizenship to international adoptees who should have gotten it years ago.

Hi, child was born in the UK to a UK citizen and a US citizen, possesses both passports.
The US origin parent also has an EU passport by heritage.
I saw somewhere that even if the parents are not together, an non-British parent could still potentially have a right to stay in the UK, is that possible?
The other factor here is that the UK parent (myself) has eligibility for an EU passport too but this would take some time to acquire.
If anyone has any experience/knowledge of this I’d be so pleased to hear some!
So I bought this movie at a thrift store yesterday and decided to give it a go. I knew it was about Kevin Bacon who plays a scientist who turns himself invisible. I just thought it would be a cool sci-fi movie but I was shocked.
I wouldn't say it's a GREAT movie altogether. It's a little long and I would of liked more diversity in showing how him staying invisible fucked with his mind. I mean, we see him attack a woman and rape her off-screen then bash a dog like a lunatic so it does go there. But the constant "rapeyness" of it kind of bugged me and I wish we saw some other things or delved more into his personal mindset at points instead of him just groping a bunch of his colleagues. I get the theme of this film is what would I do if I was invisible and could easily get away with doing anything. With this concept comes depraved scary thoughts that you wouldn't normally thing about. Maybe Kevin's character already did? He plays a cocky scientist who takes wild chances akin to Saffron Burrows' character in 'Deep Blue Sea'.
But then when it gets to the last act when Kevin locks them all in this facility. All hell breaks loose and it's one big slasher film. You basically get to watch an invisible CGI Kevin Bacon kill each of his colleagues off like some crazed slasher villian. The last 20-25 minutes is so much fun and such a gory and entertaining ride. The entire last act is one great set piece. I thought the movie was perfectly fine up until this point (with surprisingly good CGI which I liked) but the last act really kind of saved the movie for me.
I understand the scenario is very unlikely. Hypothetical scenarios tend to do that as they tend to try to get down to the root of issues rather than worrying about being literal scenario.
This movie is either from the late 2000s or early 2010s. I don't even know what it is about and can only remember this one scene. The family (not sure if it is a whole family, at least one parent and one child) is driving away from some disaster, probably something that everyone is afraid of, and they are in some suburban or rural area. They drive by two men who are loading their truck with supplies (or maybe weapons) and one of them pauses to look at the kid through the car window. The guy has an empty "you have no idea what's about to happen" look in his eyes, his hair is disheveled, and he's wearing a women's dress (full length) with his combat boots showing underneath, and I believe he has red smudged lipstick on. The intent is def to show that things are getting random and unpredictable. It is daytime, and there aren't a ton of people around panicking, it's almost peaceful but disturbing.
It has to be something where people would feel they need to prepare but it doesn't feel like the panic / horror is immediate yet. In the scene I remember the car is driving, but no break-neck speed. And the two guys loading up their truck (one guy is standing on the truck) are not "rushing" they are just clearly getting ready and the dude in the dress has a "nothing matters" stilness to him.
I can not remember what movie this is from, but the scene has stuck with me. I think it is some kind of end of the world movie, maybe zombies, vampires, alien invasion, a pandemic, something like that. The family is trying to get to some place rural I think.
Driving me crazy, hope you can help me find it!

The Self-Determination Act of 2021 extends the ability to Puerto Rico to decide its long-term territorial status, allowing them to opt for statehood, free association, or independence.
If PR were to vote in favor of independence from the US, what happens to the citizenship status of Puerto Ricans who moved to the mainland permanently? Would they forfeit their PR citizenship by default, or vice versa? What are some solutions to avoid undesired disassociation or disenfranchisement of stateside natural born Puerto Ricans from their home?
I'm concerned if i share the video i might be a target etc, even had a guy who got shot at (they missed) ended up in my garage looking for help, Even saved a mans life who was running into traffic trying to kill himself. This has all happened withing 6 months. Oh and last week had a group of 3 girls no older than 16 steal a car and crash it just up the road from me. WTF is going on New Zealand
For example, if you were to give birth on Machias Seal Island (disputed territory between Canada and USA), is your child both an American and Canadian citizen?
Been listening to RealYungPhil tapes this morning, the way samples are used are interesting and it feels like this is a trend that's not going away.
On the Evilgiane produced Dr. Phil, samples include "Light Up" by Drake (on Light Up) and Aaliyah's At Your Best cover (on What's the Word)
Some more examples:
- NY Drill: 26AR and Tazzo B's "6 Foot 7 Foot", sampling Harry Belafonte's "Banana Boat" that Wayne sampled a decade ago
- Eli Rivers - Ain't Safe over a recent Giveon song
- Shawny Binladen and The Yellow Tape Boyz rappping over stuff like the "give us what we need" sample on Yeezus or over Ray Charles or over 80s R&B or over Zelda or Barbara Streisland or re-doing "Can I Live", "Gin & Juice", "Today Was a Good Day"
- Memo600's "Exposing Me" and CJ"s "Whoopty" are over “Sanam Re”
- MTA Shifty rapped over the Mr. Softee's jingle
- Sos B4L rapped over quinceanera banger "EL BEEPER"
- B Lovee’s “IYKYK” flips Wayne Wonder’s “No Letting Go”
- Kay Flock’s “Being Honest” flips XXXTenatacion’s “Changes”
- Sleepy Hallow’s “Deep End Freestyle” samples Fousheé who contributed to a sample pack which became a riddim of it's own
- Tazzo B’s “Bang Bang” and Bizzy Banks’ “Extra Sturdy.” use vocal samples similarly to Sleepy
- C Blu’s “Irreplaceable” (sample: Beyoncé’s “Irreplaceable”)
- Dthang’s “Talk Facts” (Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know”

So now what happens? Does the CAA gets lapsed as Govt has failed to implement the rules?
It was thematically set on a beach, and there were 5 or 6 lanes of waves that moved up the beach as you took turns rolling the dice to move them or place sand barriers (or build sandcastles?) with buckets of sand. I don't remember how you won, but I remember having tons of fun as a 6 or so y/o.
