OVERSEAS NATURALIZATION ELIGIBILITY FOR CHILDREN OF U.S. ARMED FORCES MEMBERS

According to a USCIS Press Release:  “Section 322 provides for the naturalization of minor children of U.S. citizens residing abroad. The general conditions are that at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, that the child is younger than age 18 and resides abroad in the physical and legal custody of that parent, and that parent has been physically present in the United States for a certain period of time. Section 322 requires that in general, the child must be temporarily present in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission in order to complete the naturalization.”
