138 children and young adults were presented U.S. Citizenship certificates in a ceremony at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Sacramento Field Office on December 22, 2011.

The ceremony which was held by the USCIS gave children of immigrant citizens and American adoptive parents a milestone and a document proving their U.S. citizenship.

According to the USCIS, adopted children who reside outside the U.S. will be eligible to get U.S. citizenship under section 322 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
In order to obtain citizenship under section 322 of the INA, the application must be filed, approved, and the child must take the oath of allegiance, if required to do so, before the child reaches age 18.
