N-600 Question

Hi,

I became a US citizen last month and traveled with my family outside the US a week later. I processed my passport through the passport agency in downtown Houston and got it in a couple of days. I processed my 15-year old's daughter passport as well without a problem. They took her Permanent Resident Card and gave me a letter stating that fact. I am now filling out her N-600 and I have a couple of questions:

1. In the N-600 form there is a question about the applicant's status and the options are: Perment Resdient, Non-immigrant, Refugee/Asylee and Other (explain).

My question is whether we need to answer "Permanent Resident" or "Other" and write "US Citizen" in the line?

She has been granted a US passport, so I am assuming it should be the second option but I want to make sure with somebody who has done this.

2. Also, should we put the information for both parents (my wife became a citizen recently as well) or just one?

I know from previous posts that it is perfectly legal to obtain the child's passport before the N600 but I need help with these questions.

Thanks!

If you already have a US Passport, the N-600 will give you no additional benefit. Most of us consider it a waste of money.

While some argue that an N-600 never expires (unlike a passport), an expired passport can still be utilized to acquire a new passport.

The question about current status is pretty ridiculous, because only people who are already legally US citizens are eligible to file N-600. I don't know what they were thinking.

Well, what happens if they lose the passport?

What happens if you lose the N-600?

You get a new one.

For passports, it is always recommended to have a copy of the picture page. Or simply pay an extra $30 (I think) and order a Passport Card. This would serve to easily replace the passport book in case of loss.

People lose their passport overseas all the time, due to pickpockets. Will it ruin your trip? Sure. But it is not the end of the world. You go to the embassy, explain the situation and you'll have a new one by the next day.
