Thanks. So you don't think it's unusual that a package could be delivered to them at 6:06 pm? Thanks very much Jackolantern.

Nah, often the public face of government services seems very rigid, and open for only a short window, but to service providers like the post or supply companies, they're probably open at other times. Also, don't be alarmed too early if they don't update things on time, or if everything goes at a snail's pace. As someone who's been through this, you know how they operate.

You made a funny mistake early in the first sentence of your last post. You might want to fix it before somebody quotes it.

I noticed on your timeline that you got your uscis email confirmation text and email just 2 days after it was delivered! I know yours was a N400 but I think the N600 is sent to the same address.

Hah, thanks.
Do you trust any word on their web-site?
Don't get too stressed, your N600 is with USCIS, they are handling it, you'll get the response soon.Bluegrass1

I know you all have been down this road and I trust what you say. I will be content to wait if I could find out we are logged in, get their text/email, and have the check cashed. Speaking of which, I just realized that I didn't write my son 's A# on the check memo line, but I did write his name and n600. Think that's ok?
It is absolutely ok. N-600 will be filed and processed with no problem.

Thanks, you all are great here on this board. Since our N600 supposedly got delivered to uscis on Wednesday at 6:06 PM, I was hoping for the email or text confirmation today before the weekend but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Maybe I screwed up on something and they are sending it back to me.

Here is something I noticed. On form g-1145 I listed myself as the "applicant/petitioner" on email notification form because my son is only 4. On the N-600 of course his name is listed at the top as the applicant. Then later on the N-600 I checked the correct box saying "I am a us citizen parent filing on behalf of...".
So on the g-1145 email notification form, should I have listed his name rather than mine or does it matter?

You're hoping for too much too soon. Like I said above, sometimes the application sits for 2-3 weeks before they do the data entry and cash the check. Forget about it for the next 2 weeks. Your son is already a citizen and has a US passport; a few weeks or months delay on this is inconsequential.

Thanks Jackolantern, you are exactly right. Thanks for the support. I know this isn't urgent but I'd like to get that text or email confirmation so I'll know it's in the correct hands.
I know my son's US Passport may be all he ever needs to prove his citizenship, but I wanna be sure I've covered all the bases. You don't think uscis will mind that we already have a US passport for him do you? Thanks again for your kindness.

No, it's not a problem that he already has a passport. Most people get the passport first because it's faster and cheaper and is more important than N-600.
The N-600 form has a question that asks about having a US passport; you should have answered YES if you got his passport before submitting the N-600.

Thanks, I think many people choose to only get the US passport and not even get the N600 but I wanted to be thorough.
Yes, I checked yes that he already has a us passport and included a little note explaining that he already has one and I included a copy of the front page of it.

It is best to take care of the child's citizenship claim ASAP!
Some things never change.............
Matter of C-, 8 I&N Dec. 421 (Asst. Comm'r 1959) [Reg'l Comm'r & DD Denial Affirmed] involved the clear need to meet all of the requirements (prerequisites) for derivative citizenship. The claimant was born abroad to a USC who could not transmit citizenship and an alien parent. When the child was first admitted to the U.S. she was a toddler, under 2 years old, in her USC mother’s company and was apparently presumed to be a USC and waived across the U.S.-Canadian border. However that was not correct and years later when a certificate of citizenship was sought it was determined that she never became an LPR and had no lawful entry for derivative citizenship purposes upon her dad’s naturalization in 1949. The DD’s denial came when she was 17 years, 11 months, and 1 day old. If the parents had not been so lazy about it, they would have had time to obtain lawful status for her and thereby derivative citizenship. Dad naturalized in 1949 when she was 8 years old. This is a very relevant cautionary tale even today in 2012. Lazy parents harm their children!

Thanks BigJoe; I'm glad we went ahead and applied for the N600, although we alteady have his US passport, I want to my son to always have all the proof of citizenship he needs. . I just worry about about if I filled everything out correctly, and I tried to send copies of everything they might need so maybe it would be processed faster, I hope it will be a fairly simple straightforward process for us. Hopefully I'll get a receipt text soon, USPS says they delivered it on Wednesday around 6:00 which seems late in the evening for a delivery.
Everything except a final adoption decree from a U.S. authority and any associated name change is already in his file.

Thanks, we included the adoption decree (finalized here in the US) which included name change. I thought by including copies of many other documents it might save time by not having to retrieve everything. I didn't know if it took a long time to retrieve everything or not.

Many people choose to do neither. Then at age 18 or 25 or 30 when citizenship becomes an important part of life for travel/employment/voting/etc., the now grown-up son or daughter figures out for the first time they have US citizenship, but they have a difficult time trying to find the necessary documents to get a passport or N-600, especially if the parents have passed away or moved abroad.
Or the parents erroneously assumed the kid had citizenship and told the child that, but didn't do anything about getting any documents to prove citizenship, then the kid grows up and finds out they're not a US citizen, possibly having to fight deportation.
It's one thing when born USC parents are lazy like that, as they've never been through a US immigration process in their life and might not have any concept of the necessity of applying for documents, but when naturalized parents are lazy like that I find it incomprehensible.
