Married children and naturalization
Married children and naturalization
Would a child who was married at 15 be naturalized along with her father? She was married to another man who wasn't a citizen, so wouldn't she have to wait till he naturalized?

Re: Married children and naturalization
This came up once before and the consensus was that a married female no longer "belongs" to her father but to her husband.
Thus the father's naturalization would have no effect on his married daughter. Her husband's would however (depending on the time frame; before 19?? - 1948 maybe? -a woman automatically naturalized along with her husband.)

Thanks, Carmine, that's what I thought. So age doesn't matter, but dependency?johnnyonthespot wrote:This came up once before and the consensus was that a married female no longer "belongs" to her father but to her husband.
