Yes, you even said after the green card not just because you filed the I130.  Maybe you don’t quite understand how it worked but that’s how it worked. OP’s kid has a tourist visa

 

By the way in your own timeline above you confirmed it took about 2 years between when you filed i130 in 2014 and when they arrived as LPRs in 2016. Thanks for confirming what I said.  

I think you confused yourself.Waiting for 2 years before you can can qualified for a citizen that means you have your green card already.The question is he is about to be a citizen,his daughter can qualified for citizen when he becomes a citizen.Rigt now she is a tourist.

You said she has to be a LPR for 2 years before she can get citizen that is totally wrong.My explanation to him and what you said is totally different.

I commend @SusieQQQ's patience. Your quote below is wrong:

Yes as soon as you swear in as a U.S citizen any age under 18 years automatically is a citizen while you file I-130 for that person.

@SusieQQQ has since reiterated the facts:

To reiterate to OP who is probably confused as hell by now:

you file a I130 for your daughter. Once that is processed and she enters the US as a LPR, assuming you are naturalized and she will be living with you and is still under 18, at that stage she qualifies automatically for citizenship. 

I hope this ends the squabble.

That person reached 18 years before come here is not qualified for citizen. 

This is what I said...Yes as soon as you swear in as a U.S citizen any age under 18 years automatically is a citizen while you file i-130 for that person....Now continue read.....THAT PERSON SUPPOSE TO BE HERE BEFORE 18 YEARS.....OK MY LAST PARAGRAPH..THAT PERSON REACHED 18 YEARS BEFORE COME HERE IS NOT QUALIFIED FOR CITIZEN.....Is there any wrong on this quote?

That's not true I became a us citizen 2014, and I filed i-130 to my 2 children that time they are 17 and 14 years .They came here April 13th 2016,the 14 years was qualified for citizen I did not wait until 2 years before got his citizen.I paid their fees 3 months after, one for green card and one for citizen. The green card was received in 3 weeks and 6 months time USCIS sent me the letter date  and time to go to local USCIS office with my son to swear in as a citizen

My 14 years came here when he was 16 years old and if he waited for 2 years before applied  for citizen. Do think he is going to qualified for citizen?,...No.

Hi @Chiefay,

 

Let me see if i can help clarify things. SusieQQQ did NOT say it will take 2 years before the person can file for citizenship. She said that the I-130 process can take 2 years to be complete. See below in bold...

Yes I did. You said “ as soon as you swear in as a U.S citizen any age under 18 years automatically is a citizen w hile   you file I-130 for that person”. That’s not correct. Just filing an I130 doesn’t give the child any rights. They need to actually be a green card holder - which can take up to 2 years after filing the I130 before it happens - for that. 

Which is correct. And in even in your statement above you confirmed that it could take 2 years before a child could immigrate under I-130. See your reply below in bold.

Quote

I became a us citizen 2014, and I filed i-130 to my 2 children that time they are 17 and 14 years .They came here April 13th 2016,

By the timeline you stated, it took 2 years before the I-130 was complete. 2014 to 2016.

 

Also, your children entered, they entered as permanent residents. Then you took to properly update their status to naturalize them. 

 

Point being, immigrants become permanent residents first before citizens.

I agree 100% with this statement. It even indirectly covers N-600K children. Let me elaborate: One of the requirements for a B-2 to attend the N-600K interview is to still meet INA 214(b), https://fam.state.gov/fam/09fam/09fam040202.html:

Quote

Naturalization is a permissible activity in B-2 status. You may issue a B-2 visa to an eligible foreign-born child to facilitate that child's expeditious naturalization pursuant to INA 322. The child's intended naturalization, however, does not exempt the child from the requirements of INA 214(b); the child must intend to return to a residence abroad after naturalization. A child whose parents are residing abroad will generally overcome the presumption of intended immigration, whereas a child whose parents habitually reside in the United States will not.

Since CRBA holders and N-600K seekers can't be interpreted as "immigrants" from your statement, it still stands; "immigrants become permanent residents first before citizens."

I think the confusion lies with the word "filing".

 

"Filing an I-130" means downloading the form, completing the form, sending it with a check to USCIS. That's it. Filing is not approval. Filing is sending the paperwork. So Suzie is saying that the whole process from taking the I-130 to the post office to mail to USCIS (filing the I-130) to the immigrant's feet touching US soil here takes around 2 years. You said that yourself that you started the process when the child was 14 and he was 16 when he arrived.

 

i think you are using the word "filing" to cover the whole process from A to Z. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016
