Does an under 18 year old green card holder automatically get naturalization?

David Nabow Soloway
Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
In general, when a parent naturalizes, his/her children who are under age 18 and who are U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents will automatically become U.S. citizens. The children then can apply for Certificates of Citizenship - there is no "naturalization" process necessary.

Will a lawyer be able to keep my boyfriend in the United States if we get married?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
When he was here previously was he legal or not? How old was he when he was here? I would be happy to consult with you on your options to apply for him but need to know about his history and then I can advise on procedures, documents, required, fees, and timing. If your income is not sufficient for a family of four you will need to also obtain a co-sponsor.

What can I do to apply for citizenship if I have been living in the US since 1986?

The "clean" way to do this would be to apply to renew your green card. If you can prove with documents that you have been continuously living in the US, and if you have no criminal history, you should have no problems renewing your green card. Once it is issued, you can apply for your citizenship. The drawback is that you will have to pay to renew your green card. Another way to do it is to go ahead and apply for your citizenship with the expired green card. This saves you the fee to renew your green card. But the USCIS will have to verify that your permanent resident status is still valid though, so you may have to submit proof that you have never left the US. But you should be able to apply for your citizenship without renewing your card. This is a more complex way to go tough, which is why I called the first way a "clean" way.
