Ah, that's interesting. Just based on what you've described, and invoking my continuing disclaimer that I may not know what I'm talking about  , it sounds like what the Department of State describes may be the legal status of things -- that perhaps you're not a citizen by virtue of your birth but by virtue of the filed and approved paperwork. |
I think they are saying that a child whose parents were not Americans wouldn't automatically become so by being born on base, which is different from saying that a child born to American parents on base wouldn't.
Being born on base alone wouldn't do it. Having parents who were Americans and could prove it, would.
