AOS, sponser is (adult) child of USC but does not have a Citizenship Certificate

[tangysings]

I am PR trying to sponser my husband. I filed an application for naturalization. I was fingerprinted, went to my interview and had an appointment set to be sworn in when I recieved a letter instructing me NOT to go to my oath because I was already a citizenship - through my father who naturalized before I turned 18.

I sent in an application for my citizenship certificate (N-600) two months ago but have heard NOTHING, not even a letter of receipt. I wrote a personal check and it has already been cashed.

When I was reviweing the AOS paperwork, I noticed that on the I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) there is this question:

13. If you are a US citizen, complete the following:
My citizen was acquired through (check one)
___ Birth in US
___ Naturalization. Give certificated numbe and date and place of issuance.
___ Parents. Have you obtained a certificated in your own name?
___Yes. Give certificate number. ___ No.


Technically, I am a USC; I just need my own certificate. Can I sponser my husband before receiving that certificate?

And to add, I don't mind waiting but I've been waiting almost a year to be a citizen. On average the citizenship process takes about 6 months. Now I'm waiting for my certificate. My husband and I just want to get the AOS process started for him.

Thank you.

To apply for your husband (as a USC) you at least need a document to proof your citizenship, so if they say that you get your citizenship then you must try to get your US passport. I think that a friend of mine is in a similar situation, I never knew about that, but there is a law that if your parent is a USC and was in the US for a period of time and before you get your 18, you can get your citizenship through it...I don't have a clear knowledge about that, but I read somewhere something about it.
Get an INFOPASS and go with all your documents and the last letter they sent to you, and find out what is the next step to get your passport, unless they let you make the oath ceremony and finish your naturalization process and then you get your certificate.
Good luck,
