N600 certificate of citizenship

 Share

I applied for my minor child N600 certificate of citizenship 7 months ago  and received a notice from USCIS

"Your application for Certificate of Citizenship has been completed. Please come to the location listed above to receive your Certificate of Citizenship. 
The appointment will begin at the time indicated above." 

I'm actually out of USA and can't go to this appointment  .  Is there any way I can ask them to mail it to my address in NY since my child is 4 years old and is not taking oath so his presence is not needed. 

Thank you in advance.

I don't think they're mailed. You have to go in person. 

Postpone since you're out of the country. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

The N-600 form has an affidavit section that you must sign in the presence of a USCIS officer.  USCIS will not issue the certificate if you don't attend that appointment.

 

Did the letter say that your child's presence is not required at the appointment?

Perhaps you are expecting the N-600 process to be like applying for a passport. It is not. 
The case has not yet been “ approved”, as you assume. 
 

Do remember you only get ONE shot at this , so use caution to see it through.

 

If you have already decided not to come back for the interview date , you need to keep written record of your reschedule request and follow up.

Will I be interviewed?

Not all applicants for a Certificate of Citizenship are required to appear for an in-person interview. USCIS will determine, based on the evidence submitted in support of your application, whether you are required to appear in person for an interview


 

USCIS Decision

What happens if USCIS approves my Form N-600?

If USCIS approves your Form N-600, USCIS will issue you a Certificate of Citizenship. If you are over 14 years of age, you will be scheduled to appear at a USCIS office to take the Oath of Allegiance if the Oath of Allegiance ceremony is not conducted on the same day as the interview.  If you are under the age of 14, you may not be required to take the Oath of Allegiance.

Thank you for your reply.  Is it necessary for my son to come with me ? 

Yes as least it was for my daughter. She was 11.

?? The case is approved. The darn message on the site states "Your Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship, has been approved."  You just need to sign for the document or if over 14 take the oath, regardless it is approved. I am going to assume you have never applied for the N600. I have done two. One had to take the oath (over 14) and the other didn't (under 14).

 

Also as I have said numerous times on this site it's not "One Shot" you can only file one N600 but you can file a motion to reopen the case with new evidence you can also request the time be changed due to your circumstances.

You are partially correct . I take no credit for my N-600 ..barely recall the event. 
 

I will insist , politely , on this post that one needs to be very careful about rescheduling and keep proof. 
Errors /circumstances do happen and even non receipt of notice WILL NOT be overcome w AAO…sadly this I have a few hands on experiences.

If you read the full case you would notice that the case was never approved. The OP has been approved.  It also specifically states that the person couldn't appeal but they could file another N-600 "[D]enial due to abandonment does not preclude the filing of a new application or petition with a new fee[.] 

 

A better example for the current OP's situation is this case. The person failed to appear 4 times after his approval and then claimed that the taking of the oath wasn't needed. They determined that he must take the oath and in the future if he changed his mind and wanted to take the oath he could file another motion and reopen the case.  https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/E2 - Applications for Certification of Citizenship/Decisions_Issued_in_2023/OCT102023_01E2309.pdf

 

"This dismissal is without prejudice to filing a motion to reopen this Form N-600 should the Applicant become available
to attend an oath of allegiance ceremony."
