Just wanted to close the loop on my thread and follow-up. So I applied for N-600 in October and finally went in and took my oath of allegiance and received my Certificate of Citizenship on Thursday, May 19th (almost a month ago). I think I could have gotten my cert sooner but there was one...

Cast my first vote ever yesterday as a US Citizen. Hooray.

US Passport Application Outline - secondary proof of citizenship Thanks Huracan, I applied with the following documentation: 1) Mom's Original Certificate of Naturalization (when I was 15) 2) Certified court papers showing divorce and sole custody by my momma - this one was tough b/c I...

Woo hoo Thanks for all your help guys. I just got an email from State saying my passport has been processed and in the mail. That was SO MUCH faster than waiting for the n600 with USCIS. All in all, took about 1.5 weeks vs. still waiting for any news or confirmation of application processing...

Yup, I interpreted his post in a light-hearted manner, as well as took into consideration any cultural differences in humor (seeing as this is an immigrant portal forum!!!)... but got the jist of the message that I shouldn't hold my breath for a response. So I def gave Al the benefit of the...

Whoa, you went from extremely helpful, to extremely bat crazy in a span of 11 minutes. I guess the shrooms kicked in? J/k.

Thanks Al!

So it's been 8 days since I applied for N-600. My check was cashed for $460 last Thursday. Should I get some kind of confirmation of receipt of application via postal or e-mail? Still planning on applying for passport once I get my mom's nat cert...

I applied for my N-600 last week and I put "non-immigrant" in this section b/c I didn't come as an LPR originally. I think we came on a visiting visa and applied for LPR shortly after, as we had family in the states who sponsored us. I think the entry question is about first point of entry...

JB was mayor of my city and didn't put our city in a very good position :( JB used to work out at the same gym I went to so I would see him all the time, it was so weird, working out side by side w/ him, but never having the guts to say hello! haha silly me I haven't applied yet for my...

You can file anytime after you turn 18... You don't necessarily have to file before you turn 18 for N-600. I just sent in my N-600 and I'm 33, but my mom naturalized when I was 15 (about 18 years ago, wow time flies). I had no idea derivative citizenship existed so I just finally got my act...

Hi Huracan, I think so too, I just asked my mother to send me her naturalization certificate, so she's going to send it certified mail to my office - and we'll take it from there. I just double checked the DS-11 form and it clearly states there the requirement: I pretty much have everything...

I actually got summoned and had to check in on Tuesday... in the past I just ignored all summons as I figured I didn't qualify but this past Tuesday I actually called in to check and made sure my group was dismissed. Glad we were dismissed as I like my knees and would hate to get them bitten...

Hi Jackolantern, THANK YOU for pointing me to the other thread and for this additional information. This is awesome news. I'm gonna go for it and apply for my US passport, I really have nothing to lose, aside from waiting 6 months for the n600 and losing out on voting this November...

Oh yeah, I never applied for a US passport as I had no idea I was a citizen or that the derivative citizenship law existed until a few months ago. I just checked the requirements for applying for a US passport and I don't have proof of US citizenship via their requirements (US birth...

I guess I'm not 100% sure, I'm about 99% sure. The only difference in the law previous to Feb 2001 was that in my case, both parents had to be naturalized before I turned 18 whereas the new law states only one of the parents has to naturalize for child to get derivative citizenship. If parents...

Hi Huracan, Thank you for the pragmatic advice - that's how I was leaning, although it's natural to be anxious and excited about voting for the first time :) I turned 18 in 1995 so the law post Feb 2001 doesn't apply to me. With that said, I did include all the paperwork and court rulings...

Hi nnnr, I live in the East Bay (Oakland) and just submitted my N-600 to the SF district office. The address is: 630 Sansome St San Francisco, CA 94111 This is where I sent my N-600 forms. Good luck!

I just applied for my N-600 this week - send the app in on Sept 13th and got a confirmation of receipt by USPS certified mail tracking for 9/14 - I sent mine to the San Francisco, CA district office. Hoping the process is quicker than the 5 to 6 months time folks are talking about. Anyone...
