Assuming that the person underage is illegally in the USA, no it does not. Immigration and marriage are a totally different matter. Okay, sometimes they go together in the case where an immigrant is involved, and is essential for him/her to immigrate legally, but they are tottaly two different things. In order for an immigrant to immigrate to the USA legally through marriage he/she has to go through immigration first (DHS, formerly INS). Many people mistakingly think that once they marry a U.S. citizen they become legal immigrants and/or citizens like a magic act; that's is not true. If naything, it complicates things later on when trying to get their visas and/or permanent residency. Remember: Immigration first, then marriage; not the other way around.

How do you get Residency of Ukraine for us citizen?
I am a US citizen and permanent resident of Ukraine. Usually, the foreign citizen must marry a Ukrainian citizen and reside in the country. After two years of marriage, an application for residency can be made at the district OVIR office. This gives most of the benefits of citizenship, except voting rights. It also obviates the need to repeatedly obtain Ukrainian visas.
