Pro baseball player Sammy Sosa was born in the Dominican Republic. He and his family moved to the United States when he was 12 years old so he could play in the Little League World Series. His parents became Naturalized U.S. Citizens as soon as they meet the minimum residency requirement. Did Sammy have to get Naturalized?

Respuesta :

Answer: No, Sammy doesn't have to get naturalized. This is because he is younger than 18 years as he was 12 years when his parents were naturalized

Explanation:

Naturalization is the legal act whereby someone who is a non-citizen of a particular country gets the citizenship of that country after the person has met the necessary requirements put in place by the law of that country.

For example, to obtain naturalization in the United States, one will have to meet the necessary requirements which are already put in place by the Congress and are being embedded in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

In the scenario in the question, Sammy doesn't have to get naturalized. This is because he is younger than 18 years as he was 12 years when his parents were naturalized.
