What is the citizenship status of a child whose conditions for citizenship were met when they were admitted as an LPR on June 1, 1932?

• A. Illegal Resident
• B. U.S. Citizen
• C. Permanent Resident
• D. Naturalized Citizen

Answer: (B)

A child who was admitted as a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) on June 1, 1932, and whose conditions for citizenship were met would automatically become a U.S. citizen. The principles governing citizenship status include the concept of derivative citizenship, as well as the laws that were in place at the time of the child's admission. Following the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 and previous relevant laws, children who met certain criteria during the time they were LPRs could automatically derive citizenship through their parents, should those requirements be fulfilled.

This means that if the child was granted LPR status and the appropriate legal conditions were satisfied, they would not simply retain LPR status but transition to full U.S. citizenship. This reflects the policy intent to recognize the permanent residency of individuals who have established their lives in the U.S. and fulfilled the designated criteria. The other choices do not apply because they do not accurately represent what occurs under such circumstances regarding citizenship status.
