Citizenship through Parents

Acquire U.S. citizenship automatically or through parents if eligibility criteria like birth or residency are met.

What is Citizenship through Parents?

Citizenship through parents allows individuals to acquire U.S. citizenship automatically or derive it through their parents, depending on their birth circumstances and the parents’ citizenship status. Children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents or those who meet residency and legal requirements can gain citizenship without going through the standard naturalization process, providing a streamlined path for families.

We assist families in determining eligibility, preparing necessary forms, and submitting supporting documents to USCIS or the U.S. consulate. Our guidance ensures compliance with all legal requirements and helps children and parents navigate the process smoothly, securing U.S. citizenship efficiently and accurately.

Guided by Procedure

Determine if the child qualifies for citizenship based on parents’ status, residency, and age requirements.

Gather proof of parents’ U.S. citizenship, birth certificates, passports, and other supporting documents.

Complete the required forms, such as N-600 (Application for Certificate of Citizenship).

File the application with USCIS or the relevant U.S. consulate, depending on the child’s location.

Once approved, obtain the Certificate of Citizenship and guidance on maintaining U.S. citizenship.
