Is a child born in the USA to one American citizen and one British parent a citizen of both countries?
The mother is from the USA, the father from Scotland. The baby will be born aug. 2008.
The parents will not be getting married.
The father is willing to claim paternity.
Is there any form that can be filled out prior to the birth that will ensure dual citizenship?
any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks!
US law will make the child a US citizen by right of birth (jus soli). To obtain a passport, both parents will have to submit and sign a passport application, with proof of the child's birth in the US. Here is that process:

As for UK citizenship, the child will be entitled through the father but the parents will have to request either proof of citizenship or a passport through the nearest UK embassy or consulate in the US: here is that process:

Nothing can be filed before the birth, but it is very helpful to read through the processes, obtain the necessary supporting documentation, and be ready to apply as soon as possible after the child is born.
