In part...Children's Citizenship (N-600K)
In addition to the naturalization process, the United States recognizes the U.S. citizenship of individuals according to two fundamental principles: jus soli, or right or birthplace, and jus sanguineous, or right of blood.

Thank you. In notice the use of "naturalization process" in that cite, and the findlaw site. That leads the reader to believe that a person who does not undergo a naturalization process is not naturalized.

If that is so, then a person born of alien parents who are lawful residents of the Virgin Islands, are NBC, in the common vernacular. See 8 USC 1406. No naturalization process, citizens at birth, no citizenship requirement to the parents. Guam is similar, but phrased differently.

All persons born in the island of Guam on or after April 11, 1899 (whether before or after August 1, 1950) subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are declared to be citizens of the United States
