New USCIS Policy Doesn't Impact Birthright Citizenship

The video discusses a new policy guidance released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that was initially misreported by media outlets. Contrary to reports, the policy does not remove automatic citizenship for children born abroad to US service members and federal employees. Instead, it introduces a minor change affecting US military and government families who need to file specific forms for their children's citizenship. The policy redefines US residence for service members and government employees stationed abroad, impacting about 20 to 25 families annually. The change is unrelated to birthright citizenship and takes effect on October 29th.
