Brief overview of the program

The United States follows the constitutional principle of jus soli (right of the soil), meaning any child born on U.S. territory automatically acquires American citizenship. This principle is enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Parents may later become eligible for legal residence in the U.S. through various immigration programs. Once the child turns 21, they can file a petition for their parents to obtain permanent resident status. This makes giving birth in the U.S. an attractive option for families considering long-term immigration.
