A bill to provide for the automatic acquisition of United States citizenship for certain internationally adopted individuals, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4448, also known as the "Automatic Citizenship for Internationally Adopted Individuals Act," aims to streamline the process for certain individuals who were adopted internationally to automatically acquire United States citizenship.

The bill specifies that individuals who were adopted by U.S. citizens and entered the country on an IR-3 or IH-3 visa before the age of 18 will be granted automatic citizenship. This provision is intended to address cases where individuals who were legally adopted by U.S. citizens may not have obtained citizenship due to administrative errors or oversights.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to ensure that individuals who were adopted internationally and are now adults can still apply for citizenship if they meet certain criteria. This includes demonstrating that they were legally adopted by U.S. citizens and that they have resided in the United States for a specified period of time. Overall, the goal of Bill 118 s 4448 is to provide a pathway to citizenship for individuals who were adopted internationally by U.S. citizens and to rectify any gaps or inconsistencies in the current citizenship acquisition process for these individuals.
