New rules for U.S. Citizenship to Children born abroad

This probably won't affect most of us, but it is important information:

[T]he vast majority of children born to U.S. citizens while they are are serving or working abroad will still get citizenship automatically.

For certain other groups, under the new policy, there will be a more complicated application process. In some cases, parents will have to apply for a visa to legally bring their child to the U.S. and establish residency before applying for citizenship.

Those groups include:

    parents who adopted children while serving abroad
    parents who became U.S. citizens after their children were born
    parents who are U.S. citizens but have never lived here
    recently naturalized citizens who have not met the U.S. residency requirements to transmit citizenship to their children automatically
