If you have met certain residence requirement, your child might be a US citizen even he/she was born outside the US. If not, your child might need to apply for a green card and enter the US to acquire US citizenship.

We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.

Hello:

Your child may qualify for derivative citizenship, depending on certain requirements, as long as you are a citizen. What is the status/citizenship of your child's other parent?

A child born outside the U.S. where one or both parents are US Citizens, may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth. Acquisition of citizenship for a child born out of wedlock may also be possible. Providing for acquisition of citizenship requires the US citizen parent ot reside int he u.S. for certain time periods prior to the birth of the child. Additionally, a child born outside the U.S. may become a US citizen as a matter of law by virtue of his or her parent or parents' naturalization. A child may be a deriviative USC where one parent is an alien and the other is a USC if the alien parent becomes naturalized while the child is under 18 and the child is residing in the U.S. as an Legal Permanent resident in the cutsody of the parent. For assistance in this matter, we'd be happy to help. You may phone : 415-387-1364 or email: [email protected].
