Question about the K-2

[lonewolf49 0]

Getting ready to file the N-400 for my wife. Is it required to file a separate N-400 for her K-2 child (age 15) or file a N-600 or no paperwork at all for the child and she becomes a U.S. Citizen when Mother does?

[YuAndDan 153]

From what I read you file N-600 after mother naturalizes.

2. If you are the biological or adopted child of a U.S. citizen, you were born outside the United States, and you are claiming citizenship by action of law, you automatically become a U.S. citizen if:

A. You have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, whether by birth or naturalization; and

B. You regularly reside in the United States in the legal and physical custody of your U.S. citizen parent; and

C. You have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence (NOTE: If you entered the United States as an adopted child, you must have been admitted as an IR-3 (child adopted outside the United States). If you entered as an IR-4 (child coming to the United States to be adopted), a final adoption must take place for this section of law to apply to you; and

D. You have not yet reached your 18th birthday; and

E. You are a biological child, you were legitimate, or you were legitimated while in the legal custody of your legitimating parent(s) prior to reaching your 16th birthday; or

F. You are a biological child born out of wedlock and you have not been legitimated and your mother naturalizes as a U.S. citizen.
