If all of you want to move to the U.S., you should petition both your wife and daughter for green cards. You file two I-130s, one for your wife, and one for your daughter. Because you live abroad, you might be able to do Direct Consular Filing. The process takes close to a year, so you should start it before you plan to move. Once they get immigrant visas and enter the U.S., they become permanent residents; and your daughter, since she's living with you, will also automatically become a U.S. citizen.Hi there, I have almost the similar issue. I am a US Citizen and married to a British wife and have a 8 year old daughter, we live in London and want move back to America. What form or applications can I use to get citizenship for my daughter because I became citizen after she was born in London (abroad)?
For N-600K, she has to enter the U.S. on a tourist or other nonimmigrant visa to take the oath. People getting a tourist visa must show that their stay is temporary. It is not suitable if you guys are moving to the U.S.So my Question is can I file a N 600 k. For my daughter of which I meet all the requirements but for the part of her being in the US physically at the end of the application. Also is there a number I can call for USCIS for clarification.
Right, but only if you are not relocating to the U.S.Consulates will usually approve a short-term tourist visa for the purpose of completing the N-600K formalities in the US, if you provide evidence of the upcoming N-600K interview.
Does this mean that you dont have the right to relocate EVER ?Right, but only if you are not relocating to the U.
9 FAM 41.31 N14.6 (on page 26) says visas can be issued for N-600K people, but only if they will return to reside abroad afterwards. 9 FAM 41.31 N14.6-3 (on page 27) specifically says that they do not qualify if the family is relocating to the U.S., and instead an immigrant visa (through the I-130 route) is required.
No, you just have to be able to get a nonimmigrant visa, which generally requires you to convince the consular officer that you are not going to immigrate while on that visa.Does this mean that you dont have the right to relocate EVER ?
