US Citizen children birth abroad, N-600K case - 17 years and 315 days

Seems like you will have to convince your father to move to the US. Not for life, but at least long enough for the time it takes to make your citizenship official.

I agree with Bob.... In my opinion INA 322 is your best option but your father will have to temporariy visit the US to accompany you.
 
Dear All,

Let's See the explanation about the Child citizenship Act of 2000 of ACA website.

*What this new law means is that an adopted (or natural-born) child becomes a US citizen the moment he or she sets foot on US soil after proper adoption and immigration procedures have been fulfilled.*

As you could see in my last post I don't need to fill the I-864 AFFIDAVIT of support. It's an advantage for me.

Well... in the ACA explanation also says *The child can immediately apply for a US passport and/or Certificate of Citizenship. *. It's excellent because I'll be on USA for several months with my dad, maybe years because He's planning to search a work there.


The only thing that can frustrate my obtention of citizenship could be the Consular officer because He/She have to give me the green light about *Intending Immigrant’s Affidavit of Support Exemption*. If the Consular officer says that my dad should present the I-864 form, the plan falls because It's saying me that the Process will not be completed before my 18th birthday.


Best Regards,

Danny.
 
I would assume that you would have to demonstrate that you will be actually living with your dad in the US and not just traveling to the US with him to claim the benefits of INA 320.

Yeah, my dad can demostrate that with a little bit of intelligence heheh.

Let's do it, I'm not losing nothing if process falls and I have the citizenship on my hand if we close the deal with the consular officer. I'm optimistic about it.

Best Regards,

Danny
 
I wish you good luck. It seems unfair that because of the tyranny of time you would lose a right that would have been easily yours if you or your father had thought about this a few months back. I have to say that this goes a beyond my comfort zone. Derivative citizenship might get tricky. The regular CCA case is pretty straightforward for people who live in the US when they naturalize and have children on Green card.

Try to see if they could expedite your GC application and explain your age out problem. Perhaps that might help.
 
Hi Danny,

Just want to know what you did cause my sister's kids are in a similar position (My sister is a US citizen and her 3 children were born abroad).

Each child must fill the following forms;

I-130
G-325A
I-864W

Are there any other forms or things she has to do?

Thanks

Please start your own thread and explain the full details (e.g. how old is the oldest child, how long did your US citizen sister live in the US and is she living in the US now or planning to, when did she become a citizen [was it before or after her children's birth?], etc.), as that is a different situation given that the rules are somewhat different for citizenship derived from a mother.
