After a year or so the wife becomes pregnant and 9 month later gives birth to a baby. Naturally the parents are not yet eligible for citizenship because they haven't been here the required five years in order for citizenship. I don't see any reason that the baby should be denied American citizenship at birth when after all the parents immigrated legally.

If born outside the U.S. it's no, if born in the U.S. yes.

This Supreme Court case covers it.

Both our son and daughter were born in the same American Hospital in Germany just 7 years apart (1963 and 1970 when my my husband was stationed in Germany at 2 different posts. We registered our son and daughter at the American Consulate after they were born and each became an American Birth Certificate from the Consulate. I became a Naturalized Citizen on June 12, 1977 in Junction City, Kansas when my husband was stationed at Fort Riley. The ceremony was held on June 14, at the Dwight D Eisenhower center in Abilene, KS
