Lets internationally adopted adults automatically become U.S. citizens if adopted before age 18.
This bill would allow certain individuals who were adopted internationally by U.S. citizens before their 18th birthday to automatically become U.S. citizens. This change would take effect 120 days after the bill becomes law, provided they meet specific conditions and do not have certain criminal convictions or other disqualifying issues.
Today, some internationally adopted individuals who were raised by U.S. citizens may not have U.S. citizenship due to past legal requirements. This bill would change that by automatically granting U.S. citizenship to many of these individuals 120 days after it becomes law. This is provided they meet specific conditions, such as being adopted by a U.S. citizen before age 18. They would also be able to apply for a certificate of citizenship at a fee no more than half the current cost of Form N-600.
