I have my interview on Wednesday and assuming everything goes well, I should get my oath in the next three months. My 20 year old son has been doing a study abroad semester in China since September. He will return to the US on December 16. I am planning to submit his citizenship application as soon as he returns. If I wait the few months until I become a US citizen, does it make his application easier or different?

Thanks for any advice.

his citizenship has nothing to do with yours. he is over 18, he has to file his own N400 if he wants to become a USC.

Should not make it different. His case will be independent of yours since he is over 18. So your citizenship will not have an effect.

YOU cannot apply for HIS citizenship. Even if you think of yourself as the best mom in the universe, it's time for you to realize that in the United States a person at age 20 is an adult and has been for years already. Your son will have to file for naturalization on his own, and he can do that as soon as he has been a Green Card holder for 5 years (minus 90 days).

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thank you @Brother for your lesson on being a Mom in the United States. I am very aware that 20 yrs old is an adult and am very familiar with American culture since my family and I are native born Canadians. But as my son is a full time university student and financially dependent on me, it is up to me to apply for his citizenship. I am also aware of when he is eligible to apply. We have been US Permanent Residents for 10 years and have not chosen to apply for US citizenship until now.

My question was whether it made any difference in the application process if I am a US citizen or not. And that question has been helpfully answered above. So once again thank you for your unwarranted input.

And by 'applying' for him I mean submitting the application and fee for him. Obviously he needs to apply for himself.
