Barbara Ellman #530076 The naturalization rules changed in 1921 or 22. After this each adult needed to file for naturalization. The marriage rule only applied to women prior to this. In fact, an American woman marrying a non-citizen lost her citizenship.

My father came to the US in 1946, married my mom in 1948 -- did that automatically make him a citizen immediately, rather than filing papers and waiting a specified period of time. Were people who became citizens through marriage eligible for drafting through the selective service system?
