SB 1 rules are:

• Had the status of a lawful permanent resident at the time of departure from the United States;
• Departed from the United States with the intention of returning and have not abandoned this intention; and
• Are returning to the United States from a temporary visit abroad and, if the stay abroad was protracted, this was caused by reasons beyond your control and for which you were not responsible.

 

She met 1st qualification but not the next 2

She has been out since 2007 so hard to prove she did not abandon and had intent to return

It was not a temporary visit to Algeria

 

Parents should consult a qualified immigration attorney and see what he says

Did her parents naturalise when she was in the US as a PR, that seems to be the question.

[Boiler 47,536]

She may be a US Citizen and just needs a Passport, unclear.

Yes

She needs to apply for a US passport

Yes

she is already a US citizen if her parents naturalized and she was a child at that time

She needs to fill out and submit a passport application, submit it to Citizen Services not the visa unit.

She needs her parents naturalization certificates as well as evidence of her status in the US at the time of their naturalization.

Review the sections related to “born outside the US” and “naturalization through parents”

SB1 is not applicable here.
