President of the United States (U.S.), Donald Trump has cancelled automatic citizenship status for children of U.S citizens who were given birth to abroad, Igbere TV reports.

What this means is that U.S. citizen parents who are residing outside the country would have to apply for citizenship of the United States for their children after birth.

The new policy, Igbere TV reports, was announced in a statement sighted by our correspondent on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website.

According to a statement by the USCIS, the new immigration policy will take effect from October 29, 2019.

The USCIS said such parents have the option of completing the naturalization process for their children abroad before they turn 8 years.

According to them, any child whose naturalization processes was not initiated before age 8, may not be considered.

The USCIS also said the policy does not exempt children of U.S. military and U.S. government employees stationed outside the country.

“Effective October 29, 2019, children residing abroad with their U.S. citizen parents who are U.S. government employees or members of the U.S. armed forces stationed abroad are not considered to be residing in the United States for acquisition of citizenship.

“Similarly, leave taken in the United States while stationed abroad is not considered residing in the United States even if the person is staying in property he or she owns.

“Therefore, U.S. citizen parents who are residing outside the United States with children who are not U.S. citizens should apply for U.S. citizenship on behalf of their children under INA 322 8, and must complete the process before the child’s 18th birthday.

“The child of a member of the U.S. armed forces accompanying his or her parent abroad on official orders may be eligible to complete all aspects of the naturalization proceedings abroad. This includes interviews, filings, oaths, ceremonies, or other proceedings relating to naturalization.

“Applications filed on or after October 29, 2019 are subject to this policy. The policy in place before October 29, 2019 applies to applications filed before that date. Children who have already been recognized through the issuance of a Certificate of Citizenship as having acquired U.S. citizenship under INA 320 are not affected by this policy change”, the statement read.

You guys ate learners when it comes to Plagiarism

A very welcomed development.

He should also cancel automatic citizenship for children of non American citizens who come to America to give birth just to ensure their children becomes American citizens, especially those coming from Nigeria and West Africa, and he should also make policy to withdraw citizenship of all children of none American citizens born in America by Africans

Let's see where corrupt Nigerian leaders like Buhari, Tinubu, Okoroawusa, El Rufai, etc will send their corrupt children to hide when the impending angry Nigerian youth's revolution starts in Nigeria in future to come.

Many comments here are wrong
The law is for US citizens living outside USA.
If that American woman working at US embassy in Abuja gives birth in Nigeria. She will have to apply for American citizenship for her baby despite the fact that she’s an American.

Great,

When will Nigeria stop accepting migrant Fulani Jihadist Herdsmen
