A non citizen can gain status through an American child who is at least 21 years of age. Once the child turns 21, the child can file a petition for the non citizen parent.

The child is an American citizen if the child was born on American soil. The child should be able to stay in the US with the father. Unless the mother takes the child with her. There could be a custody dispute between the mother and father, it should be what is best for the child.


If you came in this country on 3 month vacation and did not leave and had a baby here can you become a citizen?

If you came to the US and had a child you can be deported, however, they can not deport the child since he was born in the US and is a US citizen because of that. If however you married you can get a green card allowing you to stay in this country. However, you can try taking the citizenship test allowing you to stay in the country.


If both parents are non-citizen American Indians is their child born on American soil automatically a U. S. citizen?

Yes, the child born on U.S. soil, in the air or onboard a U.S. plane becomes an U.S. citizen automatically. It does not, however, give the non-citizen parents a right to stay (with the citizen child) in the U.S. Without proper documentation they will be deported to their homeland. At the age of 18 the child can choose to apply for permanent residency for them (so-called Green Card).

It makes no difference how long a US citizen of ANY age is out of the country. "Once a US Citizen, always a US Citizen." -UNLESS- you renounce your US citizenship and become a citizen of another country. However, since the question is about a 'minor' child that eventuality should not arise.

I am a gay American citizen wanting to marry a Colombian citizen here on visa can we marry and he become a American citizen or how does he become a American citizen and stay in the states Thank you?

What happens if an immigrant has a child by an American then marries the American 4 years later?

An American citizen has the right to petition for green card for relatives. Once they are married and have their papers ready the US citizen can petition for spouse's green card. Subsequently the kid can also become US citizen or green card depending on the support papers which can be shown for either of them. During the stay in US its very important for immigrant to have papers for a legal and authorized stay in US.


Would a child born in the US be subject to deportation when his mother's visa expires?

As a child born in America, he is an American citizen and so can stay in the states unless an agreement is reached between parties or a custody order is granted.
