Someone automatically gets citizenship based on the Child Citizenship Act if they met the following requirements all at the same time on or after 2/27/01: 1) They are under 18 2) They are a US Legal Permanent Resident (green card holder) 3) At least one parent is a US citizen either by birth or naturalization (does not include step-parents) 4) They are living in the physical and legal custody of their US citizen parent. If all these requirements were met, then the person automatically becomes a US citizen.
