Hello everyone,

We have our AOS interview scheduled for June 7th 2010 in Chicago. My USC spouse became a naturalized citizen through her parents (she was < 18 years of age)

and as a reason, she does not have a naturalization document.

The only document she has as proof of her U.S Citizenship is her US passport. Is is sufficient documentation? I came across some posts on other forums regarding this issue but

none provided a proper answer.

She does have her birth certificate from her country of birth (translated into english).

Any inputs/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

People become citizens by birth, naturalization, or through parents. If spouse became citizen through parents, she does not

have naturalization documents. She should have certificate of citizenship. Passport should be sufficient because you can't get

passport without proving citizenship first.

Thank you for your response. She does not have a certificate of citizenship either. If she applies for a certificate of citizenship now, USCIS states it might take up to 1 year.

Will the passport be sufficient proof of citizenship at the AOS interview.

Thanks again

Of all the documents one can have, the US Passport is the second best. The best one is a license to kill, which is usually reserved to C.I.A. agents.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

How did she get a passport without citizenship documents?

minor LPR children of USC automatically become USC, some parents just file the US passport. If they didn't file the N600 as well, there is no certificate, just the US Passport.

They can't get a passport without certificate of naturalization or certificate of citizenship. Some IOs are really strict about it and won't accept passport as it is.
