When the minor illegal alien is adopted, the minor child gains the citizenship of his adopted parents, so when he/she is adopted they become a US citizen if their parents are US citizens.
File Form 600K for adopted child outside U.S to get citizenship. The process should be completed before the child is 16 years old.The only exception to this provision is if the child being adopted is the biological brother or sister of a child that you have already adopted. In this case, the sibling adoption must be completed before that child turns 18 years old.
The section 322 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) as amended by the Child Citizenship Act (CCA) allows biological or adopted children residing outside U.S. to qualify for naturalization. Once the children enter the United States many foreign-born adopted children acquire U.S. citizenship. They are entitled to get a certificate of citizenship but they need not formally apply for US citizenship since they become citizens automatically
Apply for US Citizenship
No. One official requirement is to be a natural-born US citizen.
No, just the child.
Yes, if the child was born outside the US and one of the biological parents was a US citizen, you should go to the nearest embassy or consulate general of the US and register the child's birth so that he or she can officially be a US citizen (they are entitled to automatic US citizenship). If the child is born in the US, the birth certificate of the child is the proof of citizenship and no other paperwork is required. If the child was not the biological child of a US citizen (he or she was adopted, or belong to a non-citizen spouse that the US citizen has married), then the US citizen will have to apply for a US permanent residency visa for that child. The child is then eligible to become a naturalized US citizen after they turn 18 OR have lived in the US for 5 years, whichever comes later.
The CitiZen Chil will be adopted by Federal / State
Absolutely. The child can become a US citizen through its parents who are US citizens. The child has to apply for citizenship by filing in Form N-600 to obtain the certificate of citizenship. The child should be under 18 years of age in order to document their citizenship status. Even if the child was born outside the US, it will become a US citizen though its US citizen parents.

Yes, but he would get his GC through his wife not the adopted US citizen child.
It depends on how it is done. For instance, if the child was already in the US illegally, then the child has to get a green card first, and then qualify for citizenship.
No, but her child will be one.
The child of a US citizen is considered a US citizen.
Yes, an immigrant can be adopted by a United States Citizen. You just need to fill out the proper paperwork for both the United States and the country of the child's origin.?æ
