While most people know that if you were born in the United States, you are a U.S. Citizen, regardless of your parents’ nationality, many are unaware that there are other ways to acquire U.S. Citizenship without going through the Naturalization process.
Citizenship at Birth: Key Requirements for Children of U.S. Citizens
For example, if you were born outside of the United States, but one or both of your parents were U.S. Citizens at the time of your birth, or if U.S. Citizen parents adopted you before your 18th birthday, you may be a U.S. Citizen. There are many variations in the requirements for acquiring citizenship, depending on the year and the law in effect.
