Hi everyone!

I am confused regarding procedures and forms required to use for my children's naturalization process.

They born in oversea and enter to the US under green card visa (USCIS Form I-551), when they were 2 years old.

Now, i would like to convert their status to naturalized citizens and i believe there is a special FORM.

Is this form N600 ?

Thanks !

If the children are permanent residents under 18 living in the US with a parent who becomes a US citizen, then at that moment the children automatically become US citizens. There is nothing that needs to be done for this; it is automatic and involuntary.

After becoming US citizens, the children can apply for US passports at any time. The passport is the easiest proof of US citizenship to get.

They can also, if they want, after becoming US ciitzens, file N-600 for a Certificate of Citizenship. This is pretty expensive and takes many months to get.
