It's more of a no-brainer when he isn't even American. He "became" an American citizen in record time - arrived in the US in 1992 and was a citizen by 1998.

I'd say citizenship was given a tad too lightly.

He's 30 now, right? So he arrived at age 10 and was a citizen sometime before 16. The rules are (as they should be) a little different for minors.

Edit: dumb math error.
