A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to confer citizenship automatically on children residing abroad in the legal and physical custody of a citizen parent serving in a Government or military position abroad.

This bill would grant automatic U.S. citizenship to children of American citizens who are living overseas while their parents serve in the U.S. military or in other government positions. Under current law at the time of introduction, these children often had to undergo a formal application process or meet specific residency requirements to secure citizenship. By removing these administrative hurdles, the bill ensures that children of government employees and service members stationed abroad receive the same legal status as those born or residing within the United States.
