I-134 Affidavit of support

[AstroM33 0]

My situation is that I got the citizenship through my parents when I was 15 or so. I did not get a certificate or anything like that. One day my parents simply took me to get a passport photo and then one day my parents gave me a U.S. passport. In 2003 I went to renew the passport and everything went fine.

However, now in the I-134 it states:

If you are not a native born United States citizen, answer the following as appropriate:

a. If a United States citizen through naturalization, give certificate of naturalization number

b. If a United States citizen through parent(s) or marriage, give citizenship certificate number

c. If United States citizenship was derived by some other method, attach a statement of explanation

d. If a lawfully admitted permanent resident of the United States, give "A" number

Obviously I would choose B. and give the citizenship certificate number. However, I don't have one. Does it mean to give my parents' citizenship certificate number? I certainly never received any sort of number.

My only other option would be to choose C. and attach a statement along with a copy of all the pages in my passport.

If anyone can help me on this I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I will just go to the embassy in Nicaragua when I go in 3 weeks.

I really do not want to apply to get one as I have read that it takes up to a year to get a certificate.

Thanks.

Have you asked your parents about the certificate?

Yes I have asked them. My dad, who was the one that did all the applications and such, said that we did not get any certificate number. My brother was the only one that got a certificate of naturalization and that was only because he was over the age of 18 at the time of my parents' naturalization and therefore had to be naturalized on his own. Other than that the rest of my siblings just got a passport.
