It is not automatic unless your son was born in the US. Your husband would have had to file your son;s citizenship with a consular report of birth abroad(CRBA) at the consulate in the country of birth.

I've seen two different answers to this question.

The first is to simply apply for a passport. You'll need a birth certificate for this of course.

The second is to apply for a Certificate of Citizenship. Here are the instructions for doing so: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=a936cac09aa5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Now .... I've not done this myself, so hopefully someone who has been through the process can help steer you in the right direction.

Good luck.

I can only assume you didn't file for CRBA as your husband didn't meet residency requirements to pass citizenship onto his son that way. Since his son has now been admitted to the U.S. on an immigrant visa and is now residing with his U.S. citizen father he can apply for his U.S. passport at the post office (or any US passport issuing authority) regardless of when his father obtained citizenship. Your son will need his birth certificate showing his father's name and his father will need to bring his naturalization certificate. He will also need permission from both parents to get the passport.

One caveat- if your son is over 18 I'm not sure if he is able to take this route. Someone else will have to address that.

To piggy back on the previous post above ^^^^^ if the child is over the age of 18, than the child has to go thru the regular process of 5 yrears as LPR and then he/she can apply for citizenship.
