Hi Steve I hope you’re doing great. How did you get your passport if you don’t mind me asking. My brother is 38, my dad became a citizen before my brother was 18 (he lived with him as well). Could he just apply for a passport? Thank you for your time.
@@cristianduran5773 Were both parents a US Citizen prior to your brother’s 18th birthday? If not, can you specify your parents’ marriage status on your brother’s 18th birthday? Thanks. The reason behind this is because if your biological parents were divorced, you must provide evidence of your father's legal and physical custody. If your parents were married, then the marriage certificate suffices legal custody.

Hello. I was adopted when I was I minor by US citizen Navy Commander father based in Subic and a filipina mother that eventually became a US Citizen.

Hello, what if I don’t have access to my parent’s birth certificate or citizenship certificate( he refuses to give them to me). I was born in 2001 outside of the US, my dad naturalized in 1996. So I was born a US citizens. My father was the one who filed for my green card, so immigration have all of the documents because my dad sent them to them when filing for my green card. But when I tried filing for the N600 they asked for me to send them a copy of them. I don’t have them, now I do know what to do. Can someone give me some advice please. Thank you!

My dad became a citizen before I was 18, I was living in Jamaica (he married my mom when I was 16). I did not move to the U.S until just after my 21st birthday and have been living with him since (5 years). I am currently a permanent resident and wondering I should file N400 or N600 since I didn't live with him until after I turned 21?
I am a US citizen for 50 years through Naturalization. I was 16 years when I came to America with my mom. My last name was misspelled . I sent an Application with my birth certificate translated to make me a new passport with the correct spelling. I opened a can of worms. Now the Huston office like to know what names I have been using. I was using George instead of Georgios And E for middle initial instead Emmanuel. I consulted with an Attorney and they said to make name change with the court. When you suggest? They kept my passport. I will appreciate your response. Thank you 🙏
So you're 66? You're screwed if you can't provide a certificate of citizenship when you apply for your SS. I've been trying to get my benefits for 4 yrs. I had to get an attorney just to fill out the n-600 application. They will deny it if you send it in with any errors at all. The n-600 fee was 1170$ when I applied. I'm sure it's more now. If you swam in from Mexico it will probably be free of charge and expedited...
I have a question, for documents to provide like birth certificate, proof of their naturalization, etc, my parents want to provide a photocopy because they're scared if they provide the original documents they will get lost/not returned to them. What should we do?

im 20 years old, my dad and mom were both citizen way before I turned 18 years old. I become a permanent resident at the age of 10. I'm confused help me, should I file for N-600 or N400. Thanks
You would need to file for n-600 if they naturalized before the age of 18 on or after the year 2000. You can also apply for a us passport as well if you provide the right documentation.
@@muhammadabdullahi3312 Yes you should be able to file a N-600 as once your parents became US citizens you yourself became a citizen due to the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. Though I still recommend you go get a US Passport alongside your N-600 as that can give you a proof of citizenship while your N-600 is being processed.
@@muhammadabdullahi3312 Only children residing in the United States are eligible to automatically acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If your child automatically acquired U.S. citizenship, you may apply for the child's certificate of citizenship from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or apply for a U.S. passport. If your child has not obtained a certificate of citizenship, you will need to present the following when applying for your child's U.S. passport: Proof of the child’s relationship to the U.S. citizen parent. For the biological child of a U.S. citizen, this generally will be a certified copy of the foreign birth certificate (and a translation if the birth certificate is not in English). For an adopted child, you must submit a certified copy of the final adoption decree (and a translation if the decree is not in English); Proof the child is admitted as a lawful permanent resident, such as the child’s foreign passport with a I-551 stamp, or the child's permanent resident card (green card); Proof of identity and citizenship of the U.S. citizen parent(s); Evidence the child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent; Completed Form DS-11 and supporting documents. If your child obtained a certificate of citizenship from USCIS, you must submit it with your child’s passport application as proof of citizenship. This is what the state department says. Even if this is for kids it can still apply if they naturalized before you turned 18. I also recommend getting a book and card as you can use the card for things like updating your Social Security status. Translations of documents if not in English need to be certified and physical copies along with photocopies are ideal. Make multiple copies of everything. This works if you have not yet applied for N-600. For proof of US custody you can use marriage certificate (translation needed if not in English), US school records and so on.
My minor child has born in United States We got citizenship through naturalization Do I need to file N 600my minor child as she is born in United States ?
Since your child was born in the US then you do not have to file a n-600 as she already has a birth certificate which is proof of US citizenship and can be used to get a passport.
At my age I’m way past 18 my mom always told me that but she never told me how to go about doing this and I’m way past 18 what can I do or is it too late?
Please get your proof of citizenship asap by filing the N-600. If you don't then when you apply for social security you will be denied like I was. Social security wants proof of my citizenship before I can get any benefits!!. They would not accept my adoption papers as proof that I automatically became a US citizen when my stepfather legally adopted my brother and I. I had to pay $1170.00 to file the N-600 in July. I just had my biometrics appt today and that was a joke! I've been told that my application could take another 5 to 9 months because of the USIC back log. In the meantime I don't have the retirement income that I worked all my life for! I also don't have Medicare. You have to be on SS to get Medicare. his whole process has been a nightmare for me!!
I want to add that back in the day when I was adopted all my mother had to do was fill out a simple form that cost $5.00. But she didn't bother doing that..SS also told me that I could just bring in an American passport as proof of citizenship and that they would accept that.. They literalyl told me to apply for one instead of he N-600 as it would be faster and cheaper for me. So, I did that. It was $300.00 and it was denied because I didn't submit proof of my citizenship with the application. Seriously, nobody knows what they're doing!
Should apply for my child's passport and change their last name to my new last name after naturalization and then apply for N600 or first file N600 and then their last name and apply for a child's passport?

Hello Jim, Thank you for this information. I have two questions, please help me. 1) part 2#14B of form N600. Since our family came to the U.S several years ago, we have travelled multiple times back to our home country. We have renewed passports up to 4 times. So the question asked to provide information about what document you presented to enter the United States, passport number, port of entry and date of issuance of passport, is this talking about the child’s first time entering the US? 2) Is the date of issuance talking the first passport or the one most recently travelled one? Thanks for your help.

Hello, what if I don’t have access to my parent’s birth certificate or citizenship certificate( he refuses to give them to me). I was born in 2001 outside of the US, my dad naturalized in 1996. So I was born a US citizens. My father was the one who filed for my green card, so immigration have all of the documents because my dad sent them to them when filing for my green card. But when I tried filing for the N600 they asked for me to send them a copy of them. I don’t have them, now I do know what to do. Can someone give me some advice please. Thank you!

My dad became a citizen before I was 18, I was living in Jamaica (he married my mom when I was 16). I did not move to the U.S until just after my 21st birthday and have been living with him since (5 years). I am currently a permanent resident and wondering I should file N400 or N600 since I didn't live with him until after I turned 21?
I am a US citizen for 50 years through Naturalization. I was 16 years when I came to America with my mom. My last name was misspelled . I sent an Application with my birth certificate translated to make me a new passport with the correct spelling. I opened a can of worms. Now the Huston office like to know what names I have been using. I was using George instead of Georgios And E for middle initial instead
Emmanuel. I consulted with an Attorney and they said to make name change with the court.
When you suggest?
They kept my passport.
I will appreciate your response. Thank you 🙏
So you're 66? You're screwed if you can't provide a certificate of citizenship when you apply for your SS. I've been trying to get my benefits for 4 yrs. I had to get an attorney just to fill out the n-600 application. They will deny it if you send it in with any errors at all. The n-600 fee was 1170$ when I applied. I'm sure it's more now. If you swam in from Mexico it will probably be free of charge and expedited...
I have a question, for documents to provide like birth certificate, proof of their naturalization, etc, my parents want to provide a photocopy because they're scared if they provide the original documents they will get lost/not returned to them. What should we do?

I already have my US passport (living in Canada but acquired citizenship via my US parent). I mailed in my renewal but it is on hold as they requires additional proof which I don’t have- how do I proceed in getting my renewal processed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My father died when I was 6 years old, I managed to enter the United States with a green card at 14 years old and I began to collect my father's social security benefit to support myself. I was deported for 2 years of probation when I was 24. I have no possibility of applying for my citizenship. Do you think I can do that at the embassy personally?

Question in N-600 : What is your father’s spouse’s country of citizenship or nationality?
If the father and mother became a citizen, should they answer United State? Or it’s the country they was born?

Hello Jim thanks for this information, I do have a question, I recently brought my son from Nicaragua using the form I-134A, I was wondering, do I need to file an I-130 and then the I-485 and until then the N-600, or can I just go straight to the N-600? I became a US Citizen in 2021 and I brought my child in 2023, he's is 9 years old. Thanks in advance

@@HackingImmigrationLawLLC and when is the next live Q&A?
Hi. Let say we go for the passport. Can my son travel in and out of the US? Will there be a problem?
One does not qualify for a passport if they can't prove they're a citizen! I tried. I was told that I wouldn't have a problem leaving the country but I would probably not be let back in. 4:55
@@tarandondesigns6956 i dont know ur situation but im a citizen 2yrs before my son was born. So he is a citizen automatically as far as my understanding is correct. I dont know about a child was born while you are a greencard holder.
Do i pay a separate fee for my 21 year old daughter for n400?

im 20 years old, my dad and mom were both citizen way before I turned 18 years old. I become a permanent resident at the age of 10. I'm confused help me, should I file for N-600 or N400. Thanks
You would need to file for n-600 if they naturalized before the age of 18 on or after the year 2000. You can also apply for a us passport as well if you provide the right documentation.
@@michaelhorgan9525 No I wasn't Naturalized neither did I apply for naturalization certificate. Can still File N-600
@@muhammadabdullahi3312 Yes you should be able to file a N-600 as once your parents became US citizens you yourself became a citizen due to the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. Though I still recommend you go get a US Passport alongside your N-600 as that can give you a proof of citizenship while your N-600 is being processed.
@@michaelhorgan9525 How can I get US passport while I don't have Neutralization certificate. I only have Permanent resident Card?
@@muhammadabdullahi3312 Only children residing in the United States are eligible to automatically acquire U.S. citizenship under Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If your child automatically acquired U.S. citizenship, you may apply for the child's certificate of citizenship from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or apply for a U.S. passport. If your child has not obtained a certificate of citizenship, you will need to present the following when applying for your child's U.S. passport:
Proof of the child’s relationship to the U.S. citizen parent. For the biological child of a U.S. citizen, this generally will be a certified copy of the foreign birth certificate (and a translation if the birth certificate is not in English). For an adopted child, you must submit a certified copy of the final adoption decree (and a translation if the decree is not in English);
Proof the child is admitted as a lawful permanent resident, such as the child’s foreign passport with a I-551 stamp, or the child's permanent resident card (green card);
Proof of identity and citizenship of the U.S. citizen parent(s);
Evidence the child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent;
Completed Form DS-11 and supporting documents.
If your child obtained a certificate of citizenship from USCIS, you must submit it with your child’s passport application as proof of citizenship.
This is what the state department says. Even if this is for kids it can still apply if they naturalized before you turned 18. I also recommend getting a book and card as you can use the card for things like updating your Social Security status. Translations of documents if not in English need to be certified and physical copies along with photocopies are ideal. Make multiple copies of everything. This works if you have not yet applied for N-600.
For proof of US custody you can use marriage certificate (translation needed if not in English), US school records and so on.
My minor child has born in United States
We got citizenship through naturalization
Do I need to file N 600my minor child as she is born in United States ?
Hello and thanks for commenting. You can join the Immigration Answers Show and ask your questions there, Jim will be glad to advise.
Since your child was born in the US then you do not have to file a n-600 as she already has a birth certificate which is proof of US citizenship and can be used to get a passport.
@@michaelhorgan9525 thanks for reply
@@HackingImmigrationLawLLC thanks for the reply
No , your child is a US citizen since they were born here, the birth certificate is the strongest form of a US citizenship
At my age I’m way past 18 my mom always told me that but she never told me how to go about doing this and I’m way past 18 what can I do or is it too late?
If you are a US citizen, you can file an N-600 when you are over 18. That is not a problem. Jim
Please get your proof of citizenship asap by filing the N-600. If you don't then when you apply for social security you will be denied like I was. Social security wants proof of my citizenship before I can get any benefits!!. They would not accept my adoption papers as proof that I automatically became a US citizen when my stepfather legally adopted my brother and I. I had to pay $1170.00 to file the N-600 in July. I just had my biometrics appt today and that was a joke! I've been told that my application could take another 5 to 9 months because of the USIC back log. In the meantime I don't have the retirement income that I worked all my life for! I also don't have Medicare. You have to be on SS to get Medicare. his whole process has been a nightmare for me!!
I want to add that back in the day when I was adopted all my mother had to do was fill out a simple form that cost $5.00. But she didn't bother doing that..SS also told me that I could just bring in an American passport as proof of citizenship and that they would accept that.. They literalyl told me to apply for one instead of he N-600 as it would be faster and cheaper for me. So, I did that. It was $300.00 and it was denied because I didn't submit proof of my citizenship with the application. Seriously, nobody knows what they're doing!
Should apply for my child's passport and change their last name to my new last name after naturalization and then apply for N600 or first file N600 and then their last name and apply for a child's passport?

I love how this law firm doesnt answer any questions. Their standard answer is to join their live q & a show. This YT is all about them recruiting more clients. I have been in this nightmare of trying to prove my citizenship for over 4 yrs. Im not an attorney but i can tell you what ive learned from this nightmare of a process. You can contact me for free...
Both parents must of been us citizens. Depends on the law that applied to you. The law changed on 2/28/2001.
Only one side of the parent need to be a USC it’s enough evidence already not Both !
@vidanaps714 Oh really ?
Hello Jim,
Thank you for this information. I have two questions, please help me.
1) part 2#14B of form N600. Since our family came to the U.S several years ago, we have travelled multiple times back to our home country. We have renewed passports up to 4 times. So the question asked to provide information about what document you presented to enter the United States, passport number, port of entry and date of issuance of passport, is this talking about the child’s first time entering the US? 2) Is the date of issuance talking the first passport or the one most recently travelled one? Thanks for your help.

If I change my name from India legally and if my birth certificate cannot be updated to the new name here then will it affect my application for citizenship, PR, or work permit. My passport would get updated to my new name, it is just that my country doesn't allow me to update my birth certificate.
