Green card holders under 18 automatically have citizenship if a parent become a citizen.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. There are two ways to get US citizenship: be born here or apply for it. It sounds like either they didnt apply for the son, or they did and it hasn't been granted yet.

Or maybe one parent is a citizen and "they" refers to that parent voting on behalf of the household.
