And yet I was told exactly the opposite by the US consulate in Ireland, on a number of occasions... I may even have it in an emil... I'll check...

I know why that could be a policy, but... I have been told by actual humans in a consult the exact opposite, and I have US passports for my kids... they have been to the US as US citizens and no one blinked...

I'll ask again, but I don't think I'll get a different answer..

Saying that, I don't really care... if my kids never decide to connect to America I couldn't care less... I'd much prefer they connect to their Irish relatives and culture... and live in Europe.

Absolutely untrue, it does not go on forever, without a physical presence in the US. Nye Bevan Jan 2016 #5

If they have US passports they are full US citizens and there is no reason for anyone to "blink". Nye Bevan Jan 2016 #8

As the consulate is de facto U.S. territory there is a current connection to the U.S.A. TexasProgresive Jan 2016 #9
