I'm a British citizen and my wife is an American citizen. We live in the UK, and we have a two-month old baby who was born here in the UK. My wife and child will be travelling to the US for three weeks soon, and we need to apply for a passport for the baby. A British passport is easier to apply for than an American one in our case. For an American passport, I believe we would also need to apply for an SSN. We intend to get a US passport eventually for the child anyway, but at this moment we'd prefer to apply for a British one. Does anyone on here know if the child is required by US law to enter the US on an American passport even though the child was born abroad and has never traveled, or would a British passport be okay? Many thanks.
