is the son of a naturalized u.s. citizen automatically a citizen as well?

Answer 1

Only if that son is born on US soil, or outside of US soil they must be born in a military base or US Embasy.

Answer 2

Was the child born in the US? If yes, then the child is a citizen. If not, was the child a minor at the time the parents naturalized? Then yes.
There are other conditions relating to adoptio, as well, that affect citizenship.

There are really a variety of conditions that affect whether or not the child is or isn't automatically a citizen.

Answer 3

If you mean he was born here after you naturalized, the answer is yes and will be considered a native born citizen.

If you mean he was your son while you naturalized, yes but children of naturalized U.S. citizens generally become citizens automatically, though they will also not be considered natural-born. Look here:

Answer 4

I can't believe all the bad answers.

In order to answer your question I need to know:

1. What was the child's age at the time the parents became US citizens?

2. Was the child a permenant resident (Green Card holder) of the United States at the time the parents became citizens?

Answer 5

Assuming the son you speak of was born outside the USA the answer is it depends. I was born overseas to a alien father. The law is that your sponsor(father) would have to have established residency within the USA more than 10 years before your birth. If its less than 10 years , then you cannot automatically claim status from him . He may still sponsor you (as long as you entered the USA legally) .

Answer 6

where was the child born? out side of this country then no. Was papa already a American before the child was born? If the child was born over seas after pa became an American the child would be an American

Answer 7

Not necessarily. He is a US citizen only if he/she was born in the USA or becomes naturalized.

Answer 8

Yes. If born after the naturalization ceremony and certainly if born in the USA....that stolen land of eternal Indian suffering.

Answer 9

In my opinion just because someone gets pregnant on U.S. soil that does not make the seed formed on hits soil part of this soil.This question will always have great debate. We don't make the rules we just try to adhere to the ones set in place.

Answer 10

If he was born in the U.S., yes.
