Some Questions

Unless you are a naturalized US citizen you can not use the N-600 form at all to sponsor anyone. You must go through that process yourself. And seeing your progress you are at the begining stages of applying to become a permenant resident and far from being a citizen. When you do become naturalized down the road then you can use the N-600 to sponsor children/parents to immigrate to the US.

If your son is going to be moving with you and not moving in a few years, then he would go through the AOS process with you to become a landed permenent resident like yourself.

And no, you don't loose Canadian citizenship when becomming a US citizen. You will be "dual" in the eyes of Canada, and American in the eyes of the US...

The N-600 is an application for a certificate of U.S. citizenship - not a sponsorship form. The OP's son is a U.S. citizen, they just didn't file his report of birth abroad.

If your son is going to be moving with you and not moving in a few years, then he would go through the AOS process with you to become a landed permenent resident like yourself.

Not required as he is already a U.S. citizen.

Hi Kaching,

I understand why you are confused and I don't blame you. The thing is, when you are reading the threads here you have to read the entire thread to get the whole story. I'm not saying that you aren't btw - just saying that in a thread the story can sometimes change depending on what other information is given by the original person.

I am sure you have seen posts about people having to file the I-130 for their child under 21, so they can get permanent residency and then claim citizenship for the child, is that the confusion?

This is the information that applies to your Son:

If you were born on or after 11/14/86, and one of your parents was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, you may have acquired U.S. citizenship at birth if the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the USA for periods totaling 5 years prior to your birth, at least 2 of which were after their 14th birthday.

You can view this information here: Nationality Chart 1

I know, the probelm is that not everyones situation is the same, there are similar aspects to it but never quite right there. Plus the forms are confusing, I mean just for my son it was so easy and if i would've followed all the forms and stuff it would've been wrong. So for myself I need to file

I-130

I-485

I-864

G-325

Correct?

and optional

I-765

I-131 if i want to spend that extra money.

Now do I declare money that I get in the forms? Will it help with the poverty line limits or not? Hubby makes more than that but I just want to clarify if I have to add it.

thanks again

I haven't ever done an adj of status, well I helped my Sister do one for her Husband, but I am no expert! so I will bump this question up and hopefully some AOSers will happen by

So no one knows the answer to my above question?

Hi again

The list of all the forms is in the guide here: AOS Guide. It lists everything you have to send.

As for the income, you can include yours if you want to, however since it isn't needed may as well just use your Husband's information.
