What is a requirement for a child to qualify as a Child of a USC?

To qualify as a Child of a U.S. Citizen (USC), it is essential for the child to provide proof of relationship. This documentation is crucial to confirm the familial connection between the child and the U.S. citizen parent. The proof could include a birth certificate, adoption papers, or other legal documentation that establishes the biological or legal ties required under immigration law.

While other options may pertain to specific scenarios regarding relationships with U.S. citizens, they do not universally address the basic necessary condition of establishing that relationship through documentation. For instance, a child does not need to be married to be classified as a child for immigration purposes, nor is there a requirement to be adopted before a specific age in the context provided. Additionally, while stepchildren of U.S. citizens can qualify under specific circumstances, this does not apply to biological or recognized legal relationships more broadly. Therefore, providing proof of the relationship is the foundational requirement for qualification.
