Proving citizenship if your parent is a naturalized citizen

[Catherina 0]

I need a co sponsor for my spousal based green card. My aunt and her adult son is going to be my co sponsor. She is a naturalized citizen and her son got his citizenship under her as he was under age at that time. So he doesn't have a naturalization cert. He used to have a US passport but a crazy ex tore it up. So will his mom's citizenship be enough to proof his citizenship?

Can't he get a new passport? I think he needs either passport, birth certificate, or naturalization certificate.

It cost alot and I'm broke from paying immigration fees. Also he might have to proof he is a citizen and he can't. He got his passport the same day his mom got her naturalization cert.

USCIS says:

 

Proof of U.S. citizen or U.S. national status includes a copy of your birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, certificate of citizenship, consular report of birth abroad to U.S. citizen parents, or a copy of the biographic data page of your U.S. passport.

A passport seems the only choice. It costs 110 dollars.

My lawyer said that he might even have problems getting a passport. If they deny him getting a passport he will need to go through USCIS and she said that will take a very long time we have until August to file it

then you'll have to get someone else

 

your aunt by herself can't cover your husband?

 

eventually he will have to have proof that he is a USC, but since you can't wait, you'll have to find someone else if your aunt doesn't make enough

My aunt doesn't work as she has cancer now. She will be getting ssi and she owns a house but is still paying mortgage

based on what you mentioned

 

your aunt doesn't qualify anyway, so find someone else

Your cousin will not have any issues getting a new passport. Since he no longer has the old one he sends in his moms naturalization certificate. I know when I sent my kids passport application in they also needed their Green card. I don't know if he would need that again, it

s best for him to keep his passport current from this point on as it's the easiest way to renew.
