Tip of the week: Your children become citizens with you
By becoming a citizen you can provide an important benefit to your children. Permanent resident children, under eighteen and in the custody of their naturalizing parent, automatically acquire citizenship when the parent does. This applies to children already in the US, and also to newly-sponsored children, who will acquire citizenship on the day they arrive in the US as permanent residents. Remember the key conditions to qualify: the child must be a permanent resident, under eighteen and in the custody of the naturalizing parent. Citizenship is a great gift you can give you children.
