Confused if to fill out N600 or N400?

[ulala 0]

So i have a green card right now that will expire in August. My dad became a US citizen in 2001 and i did not turn 18 until 2006. My parents divorced in 2006 and my mom took care of me. But in 2001 they were separated, just not legally, if it matters he got his citizenship in january 2001 and they separated later in the year like september or october. Do i still get the citizenship from my dad and fill out n600?

N600, when he got his citizenship, you still lived with him.

I have send an application for a US passport but just been sent an email that it is being delayed because they need more documents. I called them but they didnt know what i could send and told me that someone will call me to give me more information about the documents that can be sent, still no call.

 

I am in my late 20's and my dad became a us citizen in 2002 and i was under 18. At the time he was still married. So i assumed that marriage certificate will be enough but they sent in this:

 

Thank you for your recent passport application.  If you have already obtained a Certificate of Citizenship issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), please submit this document to our office.  If a Certificate of Citizenship has not been obtained, please submit the following:

·         A combination of documents such as school, tax, medical, or court records that documents you were in the legal and physical custody of your U.S. citizen parent(s) after you entered the United States for lawful permanent residence and before your 18^th birthday.

 

Now why would they need this if he was married and both parents took care of me?

 

Also what documents can i send and how to get them? Any other documents that i can send that they did not mention? Medical records wont be able to get, didnt go to doctor much. Can i send tax papers even though both of their names will be on there? Do i need 2 different documents or can i send in 2 different tax returns? Or do i need to send in tax returns from the year i came in till i turned 18?

I have applied to get the US passport, do not have the certificate of citizenship since i was told i do not need to get one, and i can just get the passport instead since my dad got his certificate of naturalization before my 18th birthday. My parents were married when he got the certificate. Yesterday i get an email that i need more documents that will show: " documents you were in the legal and physical custody of your U.S. citizen parent(s) after you entered the United States for lawful permanent residence and before your 18^th birthday." I am confused why would they need that when on their website it  clearly states that if they were married i just need their marriage certificate.

 

(from the US passport website states:)
