i came here at a very young age and became a citizen through my parents. so where would i get my citizenship certificate number that they ask for on the I-134 and I-129?

If you have the Certificate of Citizenship paper then it's on the top right side, if you don't have it then you have to apply for it.My Husband had the same problem.

It would be on your Naturalization paperwork.

If you are not a native born United States citizen, answer the following as appropriate:

a. If a United States citizen through naturalization, give certificate of naturalization number

b. If a United States citizen through parent(s) or marriage, give citizenship certificate number

c. If United States citizenship was derived by some other method, attach a statement of explanation.

d. If a lawfully admitted permanent resident of the United States, give "A" number

my question is, can i leave it blank since i dont have my certificate number?

HELP!!!

Can you be more specific? Were you naturalized after your parents became citizens, or were you born to US citizen parents?

If you were born to US citizen parents, then you need either a certificate of citizenship or FS-240 Report of Birth Abroad.

Yes. Read the instructions for the I-129F. A certificate of citizenship is not essential for a foreign born US citizen to prove their citizenship. Many of the people who apply for a certificate of citizenship are doing so because they have a legitimate claim to US citizenship because they were born to US citizen parents, but their birth was never registered at a US consulate. For someone with an FS-240 a certificate of citizenship is redundant, but they could apply for one if they wish to have a nice certificate to hang on their wall.

I was born in the Philippines and when we came here, my parents applied for

us citizenship. I was only 15 yrs old and became citizen through them. I

did not get a certificate number. only a us passport. i called the usci and told me I

don't need it and I can put n/a under the certificate num for the I-134 form.

should I still get it just in case? the thng is it's worth $460.

A copy of a valid US passport can always be used used in lieu of any other proof of citizenship, as long as it's not expired and has an original validity period of at least 5 years. Be sure you copy every page, including the front and back cover.

You could get a certificate of citizenship if you like, but it's not needed if you have a US passport.

You automatically became a citizen under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. Your citizenship was derived from your parents, so you check the box labeled "Parents" in section 10 of the I-129F. Where it says "Have you obtained a certificate of citizenship in your name?" you check "No". In the box below that, write "n/a".

The I-134 is a little more complicated because it doesn't cover this particular scenario, and presumes you'll have a certificate of citizenship if your citizenship was derived from your parents. Best to follow option "c", and attach a letter explaining that your citizenship was derived from your parents under the CCA, and that you don't have a certificate of citizenship. Again, a copy of your passport will prove your citizenship.
