The father of this child is american citizen but mother is Danish. My question is is anyone out there that might know this childs right to be in America? Anyone know does she have any right to come here to live and become a citizen with her mother? Any help would be great. Thank you.

Good question which would be easy to answer if the child were born in America or on a government installation!
After Vietnam, and the number of children who were Vietnamese and American didn't seem to make a difference for them!
If the child was born out of wedlock and the fathers name is not on the birth certificate, No!
I really suspect the answer is no anyway, unless the father wants to take steps through the US government to get him here!
The child isn't 1/2 American! The child is the product of a father who is American!
I wish there was a better answer for you. I don't think that there is!

Any child born to an American citizen is automatically a citizen. The baby doesn't have to "become" a citizen, it IS a citizen if either the mother or father is.

There's no such thing as being "half-American".
Either someone is a US citizen, or has rights to be a US citizen, or they don't.
If the child was born in the US, the child has the rights to be a US citizen under the 14th Amendment.
If the child was not born in the US, then the child can apply for a visa and apply for citizenship following the normal rules.

I believe if a parent is a US citizen, so is the child...
