Hi
A few years ago I obtained citizenship for my children using the n600k form (Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322) and coming with them to the US for an interview.
I now have a new daughter and I would like to know if it is possible to get her citizenship with out doing the whole process again but only based on the fact that her older siblings were eligible for and obtained the citizenship.
Thanks
 
If at the time of your new daughter's birth you* have spent enough years in the US to enable her to qualify for US citizenship at birth, you can directly apply for her Consular Report of Birth Abroad and US passport at a US consulate, without N-600 or N-600K. Otherwise you'll have to go through the whole N-600K process again, or get a green card for her and move to the US.

*or her other parent, if the other parent already was a US citizen at the time of your daughter's birth
