Can anybody help me with the following question, please? I am about to become a US citizen (Oath Ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 3rd). Currently I am separated with my wife and we are working on ironing out the details of the final divorce agreement. So, we are not divorced yet. We haven't also signed any agreements regarding legal custody of the children yet.
Now the question... How can my 13-year-old daughter become naturalized (she was born abroad, but has lived in the countly for the last 11 years)? I know that her mother has not even submitted her N-400 yet. Does the child become a citizen automatically, when one of the parents becomes a citizen? What is involved? Does the naturalized parent have to have legal custody of the child? Please explain, if you know the details. Thanks.
