Hi all.
My wife submitted the N-400 application for naturalization citizenship last summer. In December 2020 she completed her interview, and we have since received notice that she will be given an appointment for her oath ceremony soon. She and her son arrived in the US in July 2013. He was about 9 when he arrived, and he is 16 years old now. His 10 year green card is still valid, but I neglected to renew it during the 30 day window following his 14th birthday.
My questions are about how to proceed with his citizenship after his mom completes her anticipated oath taking soon. Should I attempt to update his green card, or just proceed directly toward his citizenship after his mom completes her naturalization process. What will my next steps be to complete his citizenship before he turns 18 years old in 2022.
Also, my wife has a 17 year old daughter still living with her dad in the Philippines. The daughter will turn 18 in November 2021. What steps should I take to provide her with the option to also become a US citizen before her 18th birthday.
Thanks for reading.
