Reposting for clarification. You say you were Naturalized?

Your Father, being an American Citizen, automatically makes you an American Citizen as well, no matter where you were born.

My Wife’s Stepbrother had two Children who were born outside the United States, both are U.S. Citizens.

If I am mistaken, please correct my assessment.

KC is absolutely correct.

There was no need for GOPB to be "naturalized". He was born an American citizen.

The source of the confusion might be the paperwork involved in registering the foreign birth of an American citizen. It is incumbent on the parents to notify the American Embassy or a Consulate of the birth. The Embassy or Consulate then issues a registration of the birth, stating that the child is an American citizen and subject to all the benefits thereof.

I have heard people born in this circumstance refer to these documents as their "naturalization papers", but that's not what they are. They are his "citizenship papers".
