Hi everyone!
My grandmother was born and raised in Germany. She met her husband (a US Citizen) in Germany and also married him in Germany on a US Army Base in 1962. She was told by a US Official in Germany that she would automatically get US Citizenship by marring him. But when she came over to the USA they had to file as a Permanent Resident and she still has a green card to this date.
I know that current US laws don't allow this today, but was this allowed back then? If so, would she still have citizenship?
