You will have to submit the US citizenship application Form N400. To eligible for naturalization you must be 18 years old and should have been a permanent resident for more than 5 years. You also need to fulfill all other qualification requirements like continuous residence, physical presence, state stay and good moral character. In order to be eligible for naturalization, you must be able to read, write, and speak basic English. You must also have a basic knowledge of U.S. history and government (also known as "civics").

A minor child who enters the U.S. through an orphanage typically becomes eligible for U.S. citizenship through the adoption process or the Child Citizenship Act (CCA) if they are adopted by a U.S. citizen.

Otherwise, the child can apply for citizenship through naturalization once they meet the age and residency requirements, usually at least five years of permanent residency. However, specifics may vary based on individual circumstances and legal advice is recommended for accurate guidance.

It's important to consult with an immigration attorney for specific guidance based on individual circumstances.
