So Much for Citizenship

It appears that Anoush is not entitled to dual citizenship due to a law change in the mid-80’s.  Found here, the law has a caveat that says the parents must be residents.  Of course, our student visas have us placed in a grey area.  I must admit, I was hoping she would have dual citizenship especially for future educational opportunities.

This new information does make me appreciate American laws even more.  Come to find out, most countries in the world do not grant citizenship at birth on their sovereign soil.  Some countries mandate a religion and/or ethnicity in order to be eligible for citizenship.  Of course, the developed countries offer humanitarian visas and avenues to citizenship which is to be commended.

Regardless of citizenship, the future is bright for Anoush as she has lots of choices available to her.
