Dual citizen-Documents?

[glen tev]

My sister-inlaw was born on the St regis reservation in ontario,canada.60 years ago.This is on her birth certificate.Her father is a american and mother mohawk indian.We believe this gives her dual citizen ship.She is married to a american.She has a ny drivers licence.My question is on the pre-registration form on ncl web site-do i click us citizen or canadian?will she have to check in at boarding in the canadian line?My brotherinlaw has the same situation.He went on Rccl 2 years ago and didn't have to do anything different.Any help is appreciated.

if her citizenship is Canadian then she is a Canadian and if her citizenship is American she is American. Simple. It doesn't matter where you reside, it is the citizenship which matters. You can be a Canadian citizen and reside in the U.S., but that does not make you an American or visa versa.

She isn't a USA citizen until she goes through the process of becoming one.

Well to answer the question,i called NCL.Any person of American indian heritage born on a reservation in ontario can is a us citizen.The mowhawks moved to the reservation from central Ny years ago thanks to the great treatment they recieved by the US govt.Like i said there dual citizens.The gentleman at NCL stated that i fill it out as US citizen on the pre-form registration.

Not necessarely:

Jus sanguinis (Latin for "right of blood") is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born to a parent who is a national or citizen of that state. It contrasts with jus soli (Latin for "right of soil").

 

Under US law, one may derive their citizenship if one of their parents is a US citizen. There are certain criterias that need to be met though.
