  • 5-year rule

    Does the 5-year physical presence rule to be able to pass your US citizenship to your child born abroad (Dad is a US citizen, mother not a US citizen, not married) include only the years since you became a US citizen or does it include all the years that you have been living in the US? Dad's lived over ten years in the US, became a US citizen three years ago, moved to Europe this year and fathered a child there. Thanks for your replies!

    It will count all the years in the USA on ANY STATUS (non immigrant, student, legal, illegal etc). So if the dad studied in the USA for 4 years, and then years later became a USC, that 4 years can be counted.

    But the child MUST BE BORN AFTER the dad became a USC.
