Petition for child 9months old child living abroad

[bobodammie]

Good day! Pls I need more advice has I have searched the USimmigration website, but no straight answers. My problem is, I have been due for US citizen, and I just applied for my citizenship. I would final be a citizen in less than 3 months, but I recently had a child abroad whom will be 9months old by the time I become a citizen. If I petition for my wife, would my 9months old daughter become automatic citizen? she will be 9months old by the time I get my citizenship. However, I am filling for both my wife and my child

Thanks for your help.
Cheers

No, your child is not a U.S. citizen at birth because you were not a U.S. citizen when she was born. You need to file two petitions for green card, one for your wife and one for your daughter. Once your daughter enters the U.S. (thus becoming a permanent resident) and lives with you, she will automatically become a U.S. citizen.

Thank You very much for your reply. I'm just lack of info. People keeps telling me that every child under 2years born by are eligible to citizen by birth at their first entry to united states

That relates to permanent residency, and has nothing to do with citizenship. If a permanent resident mother has a child on a temporary stay abroad, then the child can be brought to the U.S. without a visa and becomes a permanent resident if the child is under two years and is brought to the U.S. on either of the parents' first trip back to the U.S.
