With a little help from Google, I located this:

http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_781.html, which includes this:

Section 308 INA (Immigration and Nationality Act) confers U.S. nationality but not U.S. citizenship, on persons born in or having ties with “an outlying possession of the United States.” The outlying possessions are defined in Section 101(A)(29) INA as American Samoa and Swains Island. No other statutes define any other territories nor any of the states as outlying possessions. Those enumerated in section 308 INA as eligible for this status, in addition to those mentioned above, are those individuals born abroad to two American non-citizen national parents, or those born abroad to one alien parent and one non-citizen national parent. Also, there is a residency requirement placed upon the parents of the child prior to birth in order to transmit U.S. nationality. (End of quote)

I don’t see it as obvious that Sultan qualifies. Someone should look into this.
