Hello everybody, I just received packet 3. On the Consulate's cover letter, three questions asked (including my response):

Please advise if your children’s biological father is a U.S. citizen.
No, he is not a US Citizen, this information is on their respective long-form birth certificates of which I will bring to the interview.

Do you know if they have a derivative claim to the U.S. citizenship through their U.S. citizen parent?
N/A, my children’s biological father was born in Canada and is a Canadian citizen.

If you have not inquired about their potential claim to U.S. citizenship, please advise.
HOW IN THE HECK (swearing of course) DO I ANSWER THIS ONE?


If you applied with K2s, please advise whether you received the same questions.

I would put N/A as it is not applicable to your situation...

Are you going through Vancouver or Montreal? I don't recall that on our cover letter from Montreal. N/A would be fine though, I would imagine, since it doesn't apply based on your previous answer. I guess they just want to make sure their not making their work harder for the sons/daughters if they are already a US citizen they don't need a visa. It seems like some people are confused about that or overlook it.

Based on the answers of questions 1 and 2, the answer to 3 would be "N/A, neither parents are american by birth or have US citizenship"...or some line explaining N/A again.

I'm a K3 applicant where the dad is american but funny enough they made me inquire on children's claim to US citizenship via the dad. (the answer was still no as the dad hasn't lived there long enough)
