First, this rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations by adding a new part which addresses application procedures for foreign-born children residing in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence, who acquire citizenship automatically under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), as amended. This rule establishes procedures for these foreign-born children, including adopted children, to obtain certificates of citizenship. Second, this rule also addresses application procedures for foreign- born children residing outside of the United States, who can acquire citizenship under section 322 of the Act, as amended, by approval of an application and taking of the oath of allegiance. The Service is publishing this interim rule to provide U.S. citizen parents seeking certificates of citizenship on behalf of their minor children with information about how to acquire certificates of citizenship under the current application process. The Service will work with Congress, the adoption community, and other stakeholders to re-engineer the current application process not only for children who acquire U.S. citizenship automatically but also for children who acquire citizenship by application. This re- engineering will address both the application process and the costs. Parents who wish to receive a certificate of citizenship for their minor children now may apply using the current procedures noted in this rule. Alternatively, they may apply for a U.S. passport from the Department of State and wait until the Service has completed re- engineering of the application process. 66 FR 32138 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2001-06-13/01-14579 01-14579 fr13jn01-13 RIN 1115-AF98 4410-10-P INS No. 2101-00 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2001-06-13/01-14579 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-06-13/html/01-14579.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-06-13/pdf/01-14579.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Authority Delegations (Government Agencies) Freedom of Information Privacy Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Surety Bonds Citizenship and Naturalization Courts Infants and Children 10 p. 32138 32147 66 FR 32138 Title 8 Part 103 8 CFR Part 103 Title 8 Part 310 8 CFR Part 310 Title 8 Part 320 8 CFR Part 320 Title 8 Part 322 8 CFR Part 322 Title 8 Part 334 8 CFR Part 334 Title 8 Part 337 8 CFR Part 337 Title 8 Part 338 8 CFR Part 338 Title 8 Part 341 8 CFR Part 341 RIN 1115-AF98 Children Born Outside the United States; Applications for Certificate of Citizenship; Federal Register Vol. 66, Issue RULE 01-14579 V DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 2001-06-13 INS No. 2101-00 4410-10-P 01-14579 Interim rule with request for comments.
