Best Answer

Some people say no, citing the "natural born citizen" wording as meaning only born in the geographic boundaries of the country.

Others say that the phrase has meant (since before the American Revolutionary war) a more expanded interpretation of citizenship, and that yes, he is eligible, as the natural-born child of a citizen.

What are the requirements to becoming a US citizen?

If you want to become a US citizen based on your own status you can do so through the naturalization process by applying for US citizenship. You will have to submit the US citizenship application Form N400. To eligible for naturalization you must be 18 years old and should have been a permanent resident for more than 5 years. You also need to fulfill all other qualification requirements like continuous residence, physical presence, state stay and good moral character. In order to be eligible for naturalization, you must be able to read, write, and speak basic English. You must also have a basic knowledge of U.S. history and government (also known as "civics"). As a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, you may be eligible to apply for expedited citizenship under special provisions under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has created a streamlined process for military personnel who are serving in active-duty status or have been recently discharged. Military spouses may also be eligible for expedited option of applying for US citizenship while stationed overseas. To the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services or USCIS, for certificate of citizenship, the Form N-600 should be submitted. It is an application to receive a proof of U.S. Citizenship that was acquired at birth or after birth (derived) through an U.S. Citizen parent, which is a good way to evidence citizenship in the long run because passports expire.
