What are the residency or physical presence requirements for the U.S. citizen parent(s)?
A: The specific requirements depend on the child’s birth and the parent’s marital status. The U.S. citizen parent(s) generally must have lived in the U.S. for a specific number of years. Part of this time must be after the parent turned 14.
