Your son was adopted. He is the child of a US citizen. Children of US citizens under age 18 automatically become citizens. The moment his adoption paper was signed, he became a US citizen. Your relationship is no longer the factor.

YES. He needs to show that he is the person in the adoption paper, and show he was adopted. Simple. You will also need to show your husband's proof of citizenship.

(you still matter, just not for citizenship) :P

Thank you!

I just checked the list of papers I need to provide to obtain a passport for my son. Can adoption decree be considered a prove of citizenship?

You don't matter.

Your son has a US citizen parent which entitles him to US citizenship. The relevant relationship for US citizenship is between your son and his legal US citizen father. You don't matter in determining your son getting US citizenship.

You are mixing up the 2 years rule of living with adopted child abroad for a non-Hague adoption OUTSIDE the US. This is to qualify the child for an immigration visa. This has nothing to do with US citizenship.

Your son is a US citizen. Run with it and be happy.

Oh wow!! This is an outstanding news!!! Thank you so much for explanation and help!

This is correct.

We did not get a citizenship certificate for our son when Alla became a citizen. We brought his birth certificate and her citizenship certificate to the post office and got him a US passport

But I'm not a citizen yet. Only my husband. I'm a conditional greencard holder, my case is currently under review at the USCIS for conditions removal. And according to their guides, a child should be adopted for at least two years to obtain citizenship. That's what I just read on the uscis.gov. How come?I'm confused.

Hi everyone!

I have a question regarding N-600 form and the process itself. My son came to the US through K-2 visa. My husband who is US citizen adopted him a year ago. My son's Green Card is conditional now and soon I will need to file application for condition removal for him. Can my husband request citizenship for our son avoiding a procedure of condition removal? And how difficult is the procedure itself?

Thank you.

Thank u everyone for your help!

Actually the packet specifically says that what's provided on the instruction sheet are merely examples of what you should provide. From what I took of it that meant it wasn't entirely necessary but a suggestion.

Am I wrong in this thinking?

Possibly))) That's why I'm here, because not sure how I should understand all this papers requirements

No big deal, get 3 and file them with our ROC, I was told to provide them by an IO at an info-pass appointment. Also see Gary and Alla's interview with the Director.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand what is ROC . And still don't understand if they should be notary certified?

They are not only not needed, but pretty worthless.

If you cannot prove that you have been married and living together for the past 1-3/4 year, Affidavits won't help you either.

We are married for two years, have a daughter of 18 months old and my husband adopted my son from previous marriage, we all live together, have joint bank savings and credit accounts, joint car insurance, already filed our joint tax returns twice. I think we have enough of proofs. But in the instructions to the I-751 itself it IS said that we need these affidavits, though nothing is said about notary certification...why would they ask about these papers if they are not needed?

Thank you for helping)))

Hello)

I have a question regarding the form of the affidavits. SHould they be written in some special form and should they be notary certified?

Thank you for your help!
