Child Passport - Acquired Citizenship

I hope to complete my naturalization process in the next 2-3 months. Though my daughter (aged 12) is an LPR, she lives abroad due to a family emergency for the last 2 years alongwith my wife. However, with re-entry permit, they have been visiting US regularly. My question is this:

- Will my daughter become a citizen when she visits US after I take oath?

- Can she immediately return from the United States to get her first passport aboard? Or, should she stay here for 3-4 weeks to get a passport?

Please advise.

Yes, as long as her GC is valid.

If she has a confirmed air ticket, she can get her passport on the same day.

Can we apply simultaneously? what additional documentation she needs to provide as she will not have her certificate of naturalization? She will be applying immediately after I take oath.

Thanks for the help.
