Hi everyone!

I have posted here concerning the I-751 submittal and we have removal of restrictions for my wife and Step-daughter. Now we are doing the N-400 & N-600 steps.

Here I go:

a) we were married (step-daughter here also) the 1st week of December 2007 here in the US. Both my wife and step-daughter were over here on K1/K2 visa. So we are almost married 3yrs.

b)I think I am supposed to file the N-400 REALLY soon. Correct? Before our 3 yr anniversary?

c)I can also add my step-daughter to the form because she is under 16 correct? We just have to pay the biometric fee yet again for her as well.

d)What is the N-600 form for? Do I need to file at the same time as N-400 because that is alot of money?

Thanks for the help!

Hi chuckycheese,

The basis for filing N-400 is from the date that she became a greencard holder, check her GC for that date and she can file 2 years and 9 months prior that date. It is not based from your wedding anniversary. Hope this info helps.

umm....as long as kids are under 18, they will automatically acquire citizenship when Mom does,....

I am going through this right now,...2 kids under 18,.. I am.at interview stage. N600 is not really required as child is entitled to passport as well.

Lexlee is correct sort of (Not prior but after ),..it is 3yrs less 90 days, from date of "legal permanent residency", not marriage!

But, you must of been married 3 years in order to be able to file based on marriage, otherwise 5 years if not based on marriage..
