Need help to locate my grandfathers Naturalization documentation

I am trying to find US Naturalization documentation for my grandfather (Benjamin Schoneberg). DOB 2/6/1890. Born in Bucharest, Romania. He immigrated to the US on Sept 1, 1903 at the age of 11 on the ship Anchordia which left from Glasgow on Aug 20, 1903 and arrived in NY. Then my grandfather traveled to Chicago, IL to reunite with his father.

I can't find my his Naturalization records anywhere online. Can you help?

My great grandfather, Saie Senberg immigrated to the US in 1902 (his name was changed from Saie Senberg to Shaie Schoneberg on his naturalization records. My great grandfathers Naturalization documentation includes 5 children, including my grnadfather (Benjamin Schoneberg).

Thank you!

If Benjamin was a minor at the time of Saie's naturalization, he had 'derivative' naturalization. www.uscis.gov/.../i-am-the-child-of-a-us-citizen

Thank you for your response!

My great-grandfather arrived to the US in 1902.

My grandfather arrived to the US a year later in 1903. Born 2/6/1890 in Romania. So it looks like he arrived at age 13 (not 11).

The declaration of intention for my great-grandfather is signed by him on Sept. 19, 1910 and the certification of naturalization is signed on January 1, 1911.

So it looks like my grandfather would have been 21 at the age of my great-grandfathers naturalization in 1911. So my grandfather would not have been a minor at the time of the signing of his fathers naturalization documents. Wouldn't he have to have his own naturalization paperwork at that age?

Thank you again for your assistance!

Benjamin's WW1 draft registration card mentions "act of congress" .... not sure where to find more on this though: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-81WR-9C8R?i=4226
