ny92,
A few questions to determine more definitively what your circumstances are:
1) Did you actually file a G-1145?
If you did not, you would not receive the receipt confirmation. However, even if you did, it's quite possible that the notification failed as those confirmations are not 100% reliable.
2) Did you write a cheque to the USCIS or pay via Money Order?
If it's the former and your cheque does not show up as cleared in your bank account, I would agree that this is an indication of something gone wrong;
however; that said
3) Did you properly fill out your form as well as sign in the required sections?
If your petition is deemed incomplete, then depending on where it was sent from it could have taken:
- up to five business days to arrive at the Dallas/Lewisville Lockbox
- up to two business days to determine that your petition was improperly filed
- up to two business days to process it for a return and
- up to five business days to arrive at your address
As you can see, this all adds up to as many as fourteen business days. When you factor in weekends, then you would naturally expect not to hear anything on your petition for over two weeks
Do you know if any of the above scenarios applies to you? My best guess would be the third one.
Good luck!
karla3974,
Your son did, it sounds, become eligible for citizenship the moment you became a citizen. To authenticate this citizenship, it must be petitioned for by the legal parent or guardian via an N-600 petition. It is not free.
You will find information in this link: http://www.uscis.gov/n-600
I should add that I have focused the majority of my concerns on the N-400 petition and, as such, am not very familiar with N-600 petitions. It is quite possible that there are exceptions that permit you to forgo filing this petition so I encourage you to research the matter further.
Good luck.
hi
why was an N600 filed for him, was his mother or father a USC before he turned 18, and he was a LPR?
he can only derive citizenship from USC biological or adopted USC parents.
What do you mean he has no ss number. he is a LPR, right? being a legal permanent resident he can get a ss number. why doesn't he have one?
