should I pay for my kids Biometrics? n-400

[aaliyah 0]

with regards, to my own filing...(n-400 with 2 minor children)

I will just be paying for my own filing right? I understand, both of my children will derive their citizenship from me...should I still pay pay for their biometrics? or NO?

Thanks guys

No, you do not pay for their biometrics.

You file your N-400 and pay the appropriate fees. Once you become a USC, your minor children derive US citizenship.

Hope that helps.

You pay $680 total (595 + 85 biometrics). You don't pay anything for any derivative beneficiaries.

All you do is list those kids and any other kid under that section in your N-400, and if green card holders and under 18 will be told they automatically become US citizens when you do. But without any proof, for that need to file an N-600 for each child after you receive your certificate. So your journey is not quite over yet.

Have no logical explanation why the USCIS does it this way, but that is the way it is. With two kids, will cost you another $1,200.00, need just about the same proof you provided to bring those kids here plus your certificate of citizenship. Wait up to nine months, get called in to your local field office, no civics test, no interriagtion, just take their green cards,and hand over their certificates.
