The Trump administration said a small number of U.S. military personnel and government employees serving overseas will no longer be automatically granted citizenship for children they’ve adopted while abroad.
A “policy manual update” issued Wednesday by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services also would affect the children born to non-citizen government employees and military members before they are naturalized. The agency estimates the change would affect only 20 to 25 individuals annually, according to an official who briefed reporters.
