GRANT US CITIZENSHIP STATUS to FOREIGN BORN CHILDREN OF US CITIZENS WITHOUT THE 5 YEARS REQUIREMENT of RESIDENCY.

Created by M.B. on December 07, 2012

The US Law states that a "PERMANENT RESIDENT" have to take up RESIDENCY in the USA for 5 years before filing for Naturalization. Once approved to be a US Citizen, they are considered by the US GOVERNMENT a CITIZEN of the UNITED States and is issued a Naturalization Certificate. The problem arise for children of the naturalized person (children are born outside of the USA) to become a US CITIZEN, the nauturalized person have to prove again that they stayed in the US for 5 years prior to the birth of the children. The calculation of this 5 years requirement is INCONSISTENT since if for some reason the naturalized person travels to another country during the 5 year period, that time is NOT considered and is deducted from the total time. US citizens should NOT have to prove a second time.
