Thank you. Good luck to you as well.

Hello all. I just got my passport applications successfully processed with an acceptance agent. I also mailed my N-600 on Friday, but I have yet to receive a return receipt. The process seems really slow.

Thanks. I definitely will try another facility. Yeah, it sounds like their function is to be a notary than anything else. I had an old version of the nationalization certs since my parents got their citizenship years ago; but I think its function is to prove citizenship status rather than...

Yeah, I'm aware of those instructions. I had a copy of it with me and I'll present to the agent if they give me a hard time next time. When I went down to see USCIS officer to confirm my citizenship status, 2 officers (a plain clothed senior officer and a uniformed junior officer; coincidentally...

Okay. So I tried to apply for a US passport via acceptance agent and I couldn't today because there was a swarm of people ahead of me and the agent was taking like 30 minutes to review each application. So annoying. So I will have to come back next week. Anyways. I spoke to a postal employee...

Yes. I think it is the parent's proof of residence only. I'm getting immigration expert to read through my N600 application before I mail it so hopefully he will catch it if something goes wrong. I will mail my application next week if all goes well.

Thanks. What a relief! For those who filed a N-600, I have one last question (hopefully). In the instructions, it seems requirements for physical presence (eg, leases, school, employment records) in the US is ONLY for the parent and not myself. Is that a correct reading? Or must I prove that...

Interestingly enough, this link: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get...first_830.html does not provide instructions on persons obtaining a passport through deriving citizenship from naturalized parent, only persons who become citizens by birth to US citizens. I HOPE that they accept my scenario.

Oh, yeah. Thanks for that. I forgot the list the birth certificates/marriage certificates, which I have. For the ID, I think I will go with the affidavit of identifying witness because I believe that could take place of actual state ID and I can get that immediately. I don't want to encounter...

Okay, I'm confused. It looks as though I don't need a driver license as a proof of identity. I can provide a proof of identity through a witness rather than an actual ID card. Is that right? I can present the following docs: 1) Certificate of Naturalization of both parents (originals) 2)...

Thanks for the responses. Actually my green card expires next week, which is why I'd like a stamp so that I can travel around mid-June. In my case, I don't know if I can get a US passport since I don't have all the necessary docs. I.e., I think I need a state ID like a driver's license which I...

What a drastic increase. People should file their papers right away.

Hi. I'd like to know if I am eligible for an I-551 stamp on my passport, and if so how can I get one? My greencard is expiring in a few weeks. I'm filing an N-600 so I'm reluctant to renew my GC (also, I am probably a citizen anyway so I definitely DO NOT want to renew my GC). The only problem...

Hello all. Just to be clear, I don't think filing a N-600 is necessary to obtain citizenship. The attorney I spoke to said that you automatically become a citizen when your parents naturalize provided you are under 18 and lawfully reside as a permanent resident. She was quite clear about that...

Thanks for all your replies. I just spoke with an immigration law expert and it seems I became a US citizen when my parents became citizens before my 18th birthday under the pre-2001 law as well. The 2001 law is virtually the same as the old law except that the 2001 law limits the rights of...

Yes. Thank you. I've noticed that. But I thought that paragraph referred to everything prior to it. And the condition that applied to me was a separate second condition, not having anything to do with the first column---as exemplified by the phrase "You may also--then laying out the different...

N600 or N400? Thanks for all your helpful responses! I'm new here and it's such a relief to receive expert advice going through this complicated process. Thanks so much for your time. To be more specific, I am 34 years old now. Both my parents became citizens when I was 14-16 years old (I'm...

I'm a permanent resident who immigrated to the US at age 6. Both my parents became US citizens in my teens before 2001 and 18th B-day. I am now in my 30s. I've been a permanent resident for over 20 years and am ready to become a citizen. I've spoke to USCIS customer representatives (on the...
