Everything about the Child Citizenship Act Of 2000 totally explained
The
Child Citizenship Act of 2000 is a
United States federal law that allows certain foreign-born, biological and adopted children of
United States citizens to acquire U.S. citizenship automatically. These children didn't acquire U.S. citizenship at birth, but they're granted citizenship when they enter the United States as lawful
permanent residents. The law modified past rules for child citizenship, which only allowed citizenship to be granted through the male parent .
Whom the act applies to
The child must have at least one U.S. citizen parent by birth or naturalization, be under 18 years of age (have been born on or after Feb 27, 1983), live in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent, and be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence. In addition, if the child is adopted, the adoption must be full and final.
The effective date of the Child Citizenship Act is February 27, 2001. Children who met the requirements of the Act on that date automatically became U.S. citizens. Children who were 18 years of age or older on that date didn't acquire U.S. citizenship from the Child Citizenship Act of 2000.
The Act is known as
Public Law 106-395, and is codified at 8
U.S.C. §§ 1431-33.
