JoeF Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Your wife has to apply on her own, with her own eligibility requirements. Minor children usually become citizens when at least one of their parents becomes a citizen. Quote Link to comment
newacct Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 No. They can only apply for naturalization after they have been permanent residents for 5 years. If your son is under 18, he can't apply for naturalization until he turns 18, but if you become a citizen before he turns 18, he automatically becomes a citizen without doing anything.
