Education/Credentials I received my undergraduate and JD degrees both from the University of Wuerzburg, Germany, whose law school is consistently ranked in the top 10 in Germany.
Question My parents are US citizens and I was born in heidleburg germany because they were in the army. I have a german birth certificate, that wouldnt make me a german citizen? Also I am 34 years old and I want to marry my boyfriend in germany, he is also a us citizen.
Answer Shontey: no, you are not a German citizen, rather your birth certificate was only issued in Germany and therefore is in a sense German. If neither you nor your boyfriend is German then you will not be allowed to marry there. Sorry I cannot provide better news. Carolin
