DHS Announces Rule for Certain Children Born in the United States to Foreign Government Employees

DHS issued a new interim final rule allowing certain children born in the U.S. to foreign government employees to register as lawful permanent residents. This applies to children of diplomats and other foreign government officials who are not U.S. citizens. The rule updates existing regulations to clarify eligibility and streamline the registration process for this group. This may affect families in diplomatic status who have had U.S.-born children.
