Hey there so I have a weird situation.
I have an 11 year old boy, born when I was 21 so out of wedlock and never got married with his mom, but since he was a baby he would live with me in Costa Rica. I moved to the US 5 years ago and since I am US Citizen (born abroad) wanted to give him the US Citizenship to him as well.
When I went to the US Embassy in Costa Rica like 7 years ago when I was getting him a B2 Visa so we could go to Disneyland and at the embassy everybody told me to just give him the US Citizenship if I move to the US.
Fast forward to today, my kid is a US Resident with his Green Card for 10 years and he lives with me in the US. In theory I should be able to apply for his US Passport since he covers the requirements to do so
children under 18 automatically acquire U.S. citizenship if three requirements are met.[LIST][*]The child must have U.S. lawful permanent resident status (
