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. If adopted by a U.S. citizen, the child may automatically acquire citizenship upon finalization of the adoption and meeting residency requirements. 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.

If the parents of a minor (underage) child are citizens, the child is as well. If the parents become citizens while the child is underage, the child becomes a citizen as well. If, however neither parent is a citizen, or becomes a citizen, the minor child MUST wait until he/she is 18, then apply for a green card, and citizenship.

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 is an automatic citizen by the law. The child, upon reaching 18 may become a citizen of Canada or Nigeria. The mother on the other hand is not a citizen until she goes through a process of naturalization which means she must basically pass an exam to become a citizen.
