N-600 confusing questions part 2 (#16) and part 5

[gensdad515 2]

Hello everybody,

Hope you can help me to get more understanding to some questions of the form N-600.

I already got my CoN and US passport and for my 13 yo daughter her US passport (derived citizenship). I will apply to get her certificate of citizenship (to have piece of mind) and going through the form there are some questions that are not clear for me:

* Part 2 #16 (A, B, C, D) Information about admission into the US and current immigration status

for A and B: Should I enter her latest arrival to US or the first time? we traveled recently and she entered USA with her new US passport Should I enter her US passport information under the passport field?

If my daughter already has US passport, do I have to include all her information as US citizen and her US passport?

for C: I guess I should select Other and explain when I became a US citizen she would automatically become a US citizen as well, right??

for D: Include her resident information even though now she become a US citizen automatically through my naturalization, right ??

* Part 5: It seems that this part is only required for the applicant who claims to be born US citizen (born abroad to a US citizen parent) Do I have to leave this part in blank?

Thank you very much in advance for all your help.

Sounds good

for C: I guess I should select Other and explain when I became a US citizen she would automatically become a US citizen as well, right??

Part C of this question I think is the most non-sensical question ever. Only people who are already US citizens are eligible to file N-600. Therefore, by definition, for anyone properly filling out this form, none of the options are ever correct. They probably want you to put "permanent resident", as she was a permanent resident before she automatically became a citizen. But that is kind of weird when combined with the answer to the previous question of entering on a US passport. It is probably okay to choose Other and explain it too.

for D: Include her resident information even though now she become a US citizen automatically through my naturalization, right ??

Yes

* Part 5: It seems that this part is only required for the applicant who claims to be born US citizen (born abroad to a US citizen parent) Do I have to leave this part in blank?

That's right. Leave it blank.

How did you do with the copy of green card? Since you had to send in the green card to get the passport.

Hi Alaska2012,

The US passport office didn't return the green card but they sent a letter/receipt indicating that the green card is no longer valid and they will return it to USCIS.

I have not sent the N600 application yet....I'm planing to attached a copy of the green card, the receipt and her US passport for their reference and also a letter required if the applicant already got a passport.

OP - Have you filed the N600 yet? I am trying to find other people filing around the same time as me (see timeline below, I filed Jan 27) since there seem to be very few doing the N600.

Hi everybody,

Following with an update, I sent the application as follows:

* Part 2 #16 (A, B, C, D) Information about admission into the US and current immigration status

A & B: information for her first time entry to US and her foreign passport used for it

C: Other: US citizen through the mother naturalization

D: her information when we received her first Resident card.

* Part 5: Left it blank

When I sent the application my daughter was 13 yo, but the approval was after she was 14 yo....so we received the letter indicating that all persons age 14 or older are required to take an Oath of Allegiance to the US and provided the location and date for it. It was very similar as my ceremony just in this case was a group of teens. After taking the oath, they called one by one to receive the certificate and review the information previous to sign in front of an officer. Once it is done, outside there was a desk with SS staff giving the SS form to update their status.

This is the end of our journey, thank you all for your support...and good luck for the new ones.
