أكثر تحديدا, if the individual resides in the U.S. كمقيم دائم مشروعة, and a parent with legal and actual custody over them becomes a U.S. citizen while the individual is under 18 سنة من العمر, that individual automatically becomes a U.S. citizen at the moment his parent is sworn in as a U.S. مواطن.

It is important to note that the rules outlined above are ones that most often apply to current applicants. لكن, different rules were at play during various periods prior to 1952 when predecessor statutes governed. بالإضافة إلى ذلك, slightly different rules are at play for children born out of wedlock. أخيرا, a completely different set of rules govern a foreign born’s acquisition of U.S. citizenship at birth when one or both of the parents are U.S. citizens at the time of birth.
