<prompt> Human: My gf is US citizen. I am a UK citizen. We have no plans of settling long term in the US, but our next child will be born here.Neither of us will be claiming the child as a tax reduction, as neither of us pay US taxes. GF has no income, my income is from outside the USA.Is there really any point in getting an SS number for the child? Most of the discussions I see online about this are from the point of view of crazy anti-governmenters...  <response>: Generally speaking - having dual citizenship has a lot of advantages.There will be tax liabilities once the kid gets older - being a US citizen but living outside of the US - and if those liabilities are unfavorable - you andor the kid can renounce citizenship at that point.
