Your husband and his sister should both apply for a US passport, as they are indeed both citizens. Just gather dad’s Naturalization Certificate, mom’s death certificate, is possible copies of dad’s tax returns from 1992 to 1995 ( they will show your husband and his sister listed as dependents), school records for your husband for same period that show parent/ legal guardian and anything else like family leases, medical bills and photos that show same address. 
 

You can FOIA for the USCS/ DOS file from when father filed I-130 and will have a great deal of evidence there as well
 

The reason the sister’s N-400 was denied is because she and your husband are already US citizens. After their passports are approved, use the same evidence to file N-600

Thank you. My husband will apply for his US passport next week or so.

You all are very helpful thank you again. I will keep in touch with the outcome 

To give more details....

My husband's dad was petitioned by his sister. 

Husband's dad came to the US alone, leaving two very young kids in the Phils. 

Husband's dad become US Citizen in 1990 and husband and his sis joined him here in the US in 1992.

Did husband's sister apply for US passport? How did it go?

I explained why your husband is likely not a US citizen. If your husband had a green card and lived with his father in 1990 - he is a citizen, otherwise unlikely.

Husband's sister did not get a US passport. She sent N-400, and USCIS asked for sooooo many other documents. like their mom's death certificate, people verify that their mom and dad live together etc....and She did not able to comply those. Now, she has a Phil passport and green card , same goes with my husband just a green card and phil passport. But we would like to apply for US passport for my huband.

thank you.

Based on what you described, your husband is likely NOT a US citizen. He needs to file N-400 and get his citizenship.

 

If he lived with his father as a minor in the US at the time father became a citizen, he would become a citizen automatically. But what you're saying your husband only came to the US in 1995, whereas his father naturalized in 1987.

I just saw his dad's Naturalization Certficate. He was naturalized in 1990 and my husband came to the US in 1992 actually.

So N400 then? My husband's sister filed N400 before and it bounced back saying that she is already a US Citizen. My husband and his sis came together in the US in 1992 , both minors at the time. DOB of my husband is year 1977  and his sis 1975. What I am confused of is why is his sister's N400 did not work? 

thank you

Never has a US passport, he has phil passport and green card. Is he already a US citizen thru his father? How would we know if he is? Thank you all

Thanks for your response. How would we know if he already is a US citizen or not? Any site we can visit? Or number to call?

Was his mother a US citizen?

Was father a naturalized citizen? When did he naturalize? Was your husband living with father when the father naturalized?

Hello. His mother was not a US citizen. My husband was born in the phils, his mom died when he was only two years old. Yes his father a naturalized citizen in 1987. My husband came to the US in 1995 at age 15

thanks for your reply. yes i agree with you, what he did was really stupid....this is his first DUI offense. but what bothers him is, he had a previous felony when he was 21...he actually now is 33 years old...will it cause him problem knowing that he had a criminal record about 12 years ago?

hello guys.....My friend is really in a bad shape. he is not a VJ member so i am making this post for him....He was here in the US for 18 years now petitioned by his dad...He is NOT a US citizen yet...he studied here and worked here as a green card holder..but last January he got a DUI and his license was suspended...but then, though his license was suspended he was still driving and unfortunately got pulled over and his car was towed.....and he went to court for this...according to the judge if he plead guilty for driving under a suspended license (through DUI) he might be deported???? is this true??
