The Department of Homeland Security issued an interim final rule expanding eligibility for lawful permanent residence registration to certain children born in the United States to foreign government employees. Previously limited to children of foreign diplomatic officers, the rule now covers eligible children whose parents were not U.S. citizens and who had at least one parent employed by a foreign government at the time of birth. The expanded definition includes accredited diplomats, qualifying embassy and consulate personnel, individuals officially employed by foreign governments, and certain employees of international organizations with immunity. It excludes personal attendants, some state-owned enterprise employees, third-country nationals, certain contractors, and foreign officials visiting in a personal capacity. DHS is also revising Forms I-485 and G-325R and their instructions to reflect the expanded eligibility and address registration requirements for affected children who do not acquire U.S. citizenship at birth. The interim final rule takes effect September 4, 2026, and applies only to children born on or after that date.
