N400 - Unsure on 2 questions

[SparklePony 238]

Hello everyone,

 

My oldest daughter wants to file for Citizenship under the 5yrs rule. She was over 18 when I naturalized (darn Covid delaying everything) and her 5 yr eligibility is finally here. We tried filing online but ran into two issues:

 

A) In Part 6, where it asks if parents were married before the 18th birthday, is this referring to "at the time of turning 18" or is it "at any point in time before turning 18"? Her father and I were married at the time of her birth, but divorced later.

 

B) Still in Part 6, where it asks if the mother is a US Citizen, we said Yes because I am now, but then were not able to fill out the section on my name, date of citizenship, etc.

 

Any help on these would be appreciated. Thank you!

1. Is this your second marriage? And are you married to someone other than her dad? Just answer YES 

 

2. Shouldn't bother you. Your information is not needed.

A. Was there a marriage certificate between the parents issued that shows a date of marriage prior to the applicant’s 18th birthday?

 

B. upload a copy of your naturalization certificate, her birth certificate, your marriage certificate, your divorce decree

I naturalized based on second marriage to a US Citizen  who is not my daughter's father.

And make sure you actually check when she's eligible by using the N400 calculator. 

 

Additionally, file 3 days in. Don't file same day or at midnight.

Her greencard was issued in September of 2017 so we're good on that front.
