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.

Non citizen CHILD of a US citizen will became citizen?

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.

Would my adopted son whose birth mother is a citizen of the United States but gave birth to him in Jamaica be a citizen of the United States?

For persons born on or after November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true: # One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person in question was born; # The citizen parent lived at least 5 years in the United States before his or her child's birth; # A minimum of 2 of these 5 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday. So if your son's mother lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years before the kid was born, and at least two of those years were after she was 14, then the child is a U.S. Citizen.
