I was born outside the US to an American mother and a foreign national father. I automatically became a citizen of the country of my birth, but was also registered at the US Embassy and came to the States at the age of one month and have mostly lived here since. So, you came to the US on a US passport, or the European passport with a green card? It might have been that the European country did not allow dual citizenship, so for whatever reason your parents chose the European country for citizenship. If you're parents had wanted your citizenship to be US, and not European, could they have done so? The law at that time stated that my US Citizenship was contingent on my living in the US for at least 5 consecutive years between the ages of 14 and 20 It sounds like you were naturalized from the European nationality to US citizenship. The requirement to remain in the US for a period of time is a naturalization thing. I can't imagine that requirement would exist for a person who is already (and has always been) a US citizen.
