Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?
couch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThe thread started out talking about citizenship through great grandparents, which to me sounded a whole lot like claiming citizenship through jure sanguinis. This is what the two links I posted were about. Then halfway through he started talking about residency, which, sure, probably has different requirements.
I haven’t looked deeply enough into it to see where cnn sourced their information as I’m not that far into my process yet to need to be concerned about it yet…
As for your link, yeah I don’t see any language requirement either. Is this regarding claiming citizenship through jure sanguinis or through residency?

Gotcha, no problem, just a miscommunication :) Yes, DL 36/2025 is all about citizenship by descent, jure sanguinis. That’s the new decree that has changed things recently, preventing many people from claiming citizenship. It’s still possible that residency could be added as a requirement on top of parental ties, and in fact it has been for minor children beyond grandchildren.
I’ll be watching how it all plays out along with you. Good luck on your journey!
