You have been a permanent resident for 3 years or more and meet all eligibility requirements; or
You have qualifying service in the U.S. armed forces and meet all other eligibility requirements.

Note also that your child may qualify for naturalization if you are a U.S. citizen, the child was born outside the U.S., the child is currently residing outside the U.S., and all other eligibility requirements are met.
