Yes, I am going to do that and hire a lawyer since everywhere I have read, it seems like I will only get one chance at it. It is expensive but I feel like it is worth it for securing any doubts about my child being a US citizen or not. Thank you for your response. The reason I wanted to know what date to use is because it is required when I apply for a visa for him to visit his birth country. Thanks again. Also I did not get any letter from the passport office saying they kept his Green Card. I do have copies of it and hope it will be enough for the N-600 application.

Thank you for your reply, I thought of the same since IR2 minors are citizens as soon as they enter US and stay with the parent who sponsored him/her, just that he got his Green Card instead of Certificate of Citizenship and that confused me since I thought Green Card doesn't confer a citizenship either ?

My minor son entered US on 25th Sept 2023 on IR2 Visa and got his Green Card 6 weeks later. I applied for his US Passport after submitting his Green Card at the post office along with other supporting documents. I got his US passport as well and I haven't applied for the Certificate of Citizen yet. The question I now have is what is the date he became a US Citizen ? Is it the date he entered US on IR2 visa or the date his US Passport was issued ? Thank you.
