Question about secondary information proof for passport and N-600

[andreav]

Hi,

I am in the process of applying for my N-600. I would like to get my passport before applying for the N-600 (I will be paying turning in paperwork on Monday). Do I need certified paperwork for secondary proof for citizenship for my passport or are xerox copies ok ? All I have are copies of my dad's citizenship certificate. I just called him today to tell him I needed the original for my N-600 appt with the immigration people and he said it was lost and he just sent me a copy of his copy :-( . Is there another way I can show proof? Also about the N-600 my husband said after reading some stuff I should just skip the N-600. Should I? If I don't have my dad's citizenship paper what else can I use when applying for passport ?

If anyone needs to know the longer version....

-Dad was born aboard while grandfather is in Navy which is why he has the citizenship cert.

-Mother is not US citizen

- Dad served 21 years in airforce (7 years of it before I was born).

-I was born out of wedlock in 1985 in Philippines

-Parents married 3 months after my birth.

-Parents Divorced in 1990

-I have been in US since 1988.

- I lost my resident alien card last year during moving. <I don't know if that helps with anything but that darn thing is lost. :-(

Please don't create multiple threads for the same situation. When you do that, people lose some of the important context. For instance, I wouldn't have known that your father had full custody if I didn't find your original thread.
