Citizenship for child born outside USA with father only as citizen

[zsk]

I hope this thread finds you all well.

My question is what is that if US born citizen ( father ) who marries a girl ( Pakistani national ) and bears a child in the international country Pakistan. Will their children be eligible to become US citizens by birth?

It depends on how long the father lived in the US: http://travel.state.gov/content/tra...s-policies/citizenship-child-born-abroad.html

A child may become a U.S. citizen through the process of derivation if one of his parents becomes a U.S. citizen via naturalization. However, at the time the parent becomes naturalized, the child must have a green card, be under the age of 18, and living with the naturalized parent in order to take advantage of these laws.
