a couple of questions

[vnoe 0]

Hello everyone,

I am applying for USA Citizenship at the beginning of 2011 (my 3 years will be up then). I have two 9 year old daughters that my USA Citizen husband has just adopted, they were residents, same as me. I'm not sure how I have to go about this. I will apply for myself, what do I do with my girls that were legally adopted by my husband that were in permanent resident status for 10 years.

Sorry if any of this sounds confusing, but I really don't know how to put the question.

Thanks in advance for any help!

if ur kids or resident when u become a citizen you kids well automatically became citizen too,

From what I have read, when a parent becomes a citizen, the kids if under 18 automatically become us citiens. There might be some requirements though which I don't remember off the top of my head.

I am wondering if they already are since my USA Citizen Husband adopted them....??? thanks!

If the children are under the age of 21, have their Green Cards, then they have become US citizens when the adoption by a US citizen was final. This needs to be documented though, and unless I'm mistaken, two separate N600s need to be filed.

i believe that is correct, since he adopted them and he is a us citizen then they automatically became citizens when they were legally adopted. good luck
