USCIS portal technical difficulties when filling out USCIS Form N-600 - No Section under "Evidence" titled "U.S. citizen parent's proof of legal or physical custody" appears

[butmajor-leagueas 0]

Hi all,

 

Context - INA § 320 USC as a "biological child of a U.S. citizen parent" trying to fill out USCIS Form N-600 via the online portal.

 

However, I am unable to submit evidence of my "U.S. citizen parent's proof of legal or physical custody", although it is REQUIRED to do so in my case as in the sidebar under "Evidence", there simply is no section named as such that is made visible in the user interface.

 

This is how it looks like for me:

 

 

I am unable to proceed onto uploading that specific piece of evidence. Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, what was your solution?

 

Thanks!

Give the requirements and the list provided I'd stick that under "evidence of child's U.S. citizenship", since the derivation does hinge on the child residing in US in your physical and legal custody, or alternatively put it under Secondary evidence.

Thanks for your response, Demise!

 

Yeah, I was thinking of uploading it as “Secondary Evidence”, and inserting a table in my cover letter to itemize every single piece of evidence that I will be submitting to prove that I was in my parent’s physical custody at the time that I derived / acquired U.S. citizenship from them.

FYI, the "evidence of child's U.S. citizenship" section is not what you think it is. It is for stuff like CBRAs (for INA 301 / INA 309 cases) and U.S. Passports of the child. Remember that even INA 320 children can apply for a U.S. passport via USCIS Form DS-11 upon derivation of U.S. citizenship. They or their parent (for the duration that they are a minor) can apply for their U.S. passport even prior to applying for a U.S. CoC using the same evidence that they would submit to USCIS via a N-600 Application.

Yeah fair point, in that case just stick it under the secondary evidence. 

 

Or last option just file a paper form.

This might sound like a really stupid question, but - How do I even “attach” evidence to a N-600 submission if done via mail?

 

Would I need to give a “Table of Contents” and number each page of evidence and organize it that way?

 

Sorry, this is the very first immigration form I’m ever filling out! So, as you can tell, I’m super ignorant.

Yes, exactly. You create a packet, consisting of cover page, table of contents, form, payment and supporting evidence

Make sense!

 

Also, wanted to also ask if you might have a template for a N-600 cover letter? That would help a lot!

Sadly, I don't have it. Sorry
