Hello everyone,

I am a US citizen. Divorced & now remarried. My biological son came to US in 2015 under IR-2 category. Presently he is living with us. We have his green card received on July 26, 2015. Is he eligible for applying for citizenship? I am little confused right now. What is a Certificate of Citizenship means? I need some information on how my son (being a USC's biological son) can become a US citizen.

How old was he on the day he entered the US on his immigrant visa?

if the child was under 18 years old and had his green card and was in your custody then he is already a us citizen and just needs to get his certificate stating so it does not matter the order of events so long as it all occurred prior to his 18 birthday.

 

if he was over 18 when you got your citizenship then he will have to wait until he has been a resident for 5 years to apply for his citizenship.

 

certificate of citizenship is a document that proves you are a us citizen.

 

good luck

Then he'll need to apply for US citizenship using an N-400 after he's been an LPR for five years.

He was under 18 when I got my citizenship, but his green card had expired as we had a joint custody & my son was living with his maternal grand parents. I had to file I-130 for him. Now he lives with me & has his green card.
