    N600 help? Should I expect a RFE or does this sound okay?

    First of all everybody, I'm sorry for asking so many questions about the N600. Truth is I don't know much about immigration and how an application like the N600 is adjudicated or processed. We mailed in the N600 for my son (international adoption) in early June 2012 and we received the...

    Are all N600's now processed at NBC? Or local office?

    Hi everybody. Since uscis centralized N600 processing in late 2011 to the Phoenix lockbox; are all N600's sent to the NBC first (assigned an NBC receipt number)? Then are they sent to your local field office in your state or just to any random field office? Thanks everyone. Have a good day.

    How long before receipt shows up online on "My Case Status"? N600

    Received acceptance email and text from uscis on Monday evening, June 11. Gave me a receipt number starting with NBC for our n600. How long does it usually take before it shows up online on "my case status"? Or is it a big deal if it doesn't? Thank you very much.

    Do the Passport people let USCIS know you are a citizen when passport is issued?

    Under the Child Citizenship Act, you can get a US Passport if you meet certain qualifications...without having to get a COC. A lot of people I know say that one of the big reasons why you should also get a COC for your child is to let the USCIS people know that he/she is now a citizen (proven by...

    Filling out N-600 (COC) for son, question about "a-number", etc.

    Hi. I am filling out the N-600 to get our son's COC. We adopted him internationally, so he gained citizenship through the Child Citizenship Act and already has a U.S Passport to prove it. He is only 3 years old so I thought it might be a good idea to go ahead and get the COC although many people...

    Changes to COC N-600 Filing procedures?

    Hi everyone, I understand that now when sending in a N-600 for a COC you need to send it to a lockbox in Phoenix rather than your local office as before. Here's my question, do they then send it to your office to adjudicate it, etc. or is the adjudication/processing/etc. done at a national level...
