No, to be born an American citizen you have to be born on American soil. Such as America or an American embassy. I believe that you only have to have one parent from the country in order to access some kind of resident visa and or long term citizenship.

∙ 12y agoWhen the child reach the age of 21 he can sponsor the parent to come to the US. But the parent cannot be in the US while sponsored by the child. The child must also qualify financially (i.e. be able to show the ability to financially support the parent, if needs be).
Sponsorship provides a US permanent resident visa for the parent. The parent is then eligible to become a US citizen via the naturalization process, the same as for any other permanent resident visa holder.

∙ 12y agoIf you are born in the US, it doesn't matter what your parents are.
But, if the child was born somewhere else, and the parents are both citizens, the child must apply for citizenship. Of course it is way easier if your parents are both citizens

Can an undocumented alien parent of a child born in the US remain in the US with it's child?
Merely having a US citizen child gives the parent no legal status- the parent is still an illegal. The parent is still subject to arrest and deportation. The US government can, and does, deport parents of US citizen children. At that point the parent can either give up the child for adoption or take the child with them to their native country.
If a parent is legal US resident in the us and the underage child isn't can the child be legalized?
As far as i know the parent would have to first become a citizen, moving them from legal resident status, once the parent files for US citizenship he/she also files for the underage child/ren. the under age child/ren then automatically become citizens the same time as the parent. This is what my father in law and many others i know did when they migrated to the US.

Who can become a naturalized citizen Anyone born A inside the US B outside the US if both parents are US citizens C outside the US to non-US citizens D in a US possession if one parent is a US citizen?
There are one way to become a naturalized citizen. A person that was born outside the United States to parents who aren't citizens of the US. Explanations: A child born in the USA from parents who are both already US citizens do NOT need "naturalized". All are natural citizens. A child outside the US if both parents are US citizens is accepted as a US citizen. A child born in a US possession if one parent is a US citizen qualifies for natural US citizenship.
