While filling out the N400, I read through N600 and wasn't 100% I actually may qualify to become an automatic citizen?
The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 states that a child born outside of the United States automatically becomes a citizen of the United States when all of the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(1) At least one parent of the child is a citizen of the United States, whether by birth or naturalization.
(2) The child is under the age of eighteen years.
(3) The child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the citizen parent pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence.
My father is US citizen at birth; I've known him since I was two years of age and my mother (non US Citizen) and him married when I was nine living in Japan as well as adopting me at the same time. My father was in the US military at the time and we moved to the US in 1995. My mother and I got our green card shortly after.
Official adoption was done through the Japanese city hall. No other adoption paperwork was done in US I believe.
Do I still qualify or just go through with the N400?
