I751 & Citizenship when to file?

[BOKURAGAITA 105]

Hello VJ!

Currently processing the I751 (filed Jan 2025) and I have 3 kids that I751 will be file in Sept (expires in Nov 2025).

When exactly is the right time to file for citizenship? Does my kids needs to file for citizenship also? they age 12, 9 and 8. 

 

p.s idk where exactly to post and ask. Thank you for those who can help and answer. I appreciate it!

First, you have it in the right forum as you are really at the I751 stage right now.  At this point I would just worry about the I751 as you will not be able to file the N400 until 90 days prior to your GC date in 2026, sometime around September 2026 about a year after submitting the I751.  Now this assumes you are still married, and will be filing under the 3yr rule.  Your kids will not need to submit separate N400s and will become USCs when you naturalize.

 

Good Luck!

You didn't include children in your I-751?

Did they receive GC much later?

No, my husband is certain and review everything. And I received only one mail of notification to file my I751. 

 

I received my 2yr GC first because I arrived in the States first before my children (K2 FTJ). Yes they arrived in the States a year later, arrived (Feb 2023) filed (May 2023) approved (Nov 2023). 

 

A week ago I received an email of notification to file their I751. 

 

I apologise in advance if my English and explanation is a little bit confusing sometimes.
