During this webinar, we will cover the complex issues involving citizenship for children. We will review acquisition and derivation of citizenship, as well as INA§322 citizenship for children. We will concentrate on how to use the ILRC’s easy to read charts, which spell out eligibility for acquisition and derivation and will walk through examples of each kind of citizenship for children. After attending this webinar, practitioners will be significantly more comfortable assisting their clients through the acquisition and derivation processes.
