I have a question about my friend's little girl (4 years old). She (USC) adopted this little girl four years ago. This girls now a GC holder since 2003. Now she wants to know how she can apply for citizenship.

Based to my knowledge, she has to wait for 5 yrs and apply. But does she has to take a citizenship test? I don't think she is capable of taking this test. Is there any special exemption for kids under certain age.

Please let me know if you have any experience or knowledge in this situation. Thank you in advance.
 
What is the status of the girl's adopted parents status?

If they are already citizens, then they have to optionally obtain the Naturalization Certificate and/or plainly apply for the US passport.

If the parents are LPRs, the baby have to wait until at least one parent becomes US Citizen and thereby deriving the citizenship from them.

Or wait until 18yrs old or 14 (not sure) and then apply for citizenship, the usual route.

The above statements are totally based on my perception, I could be wrong and we'll find out soon from our knowledgeable immigrant community.
