Hello All,

 

I am a US Citizen because my parents became US Citizens when I was a minor. I am from Portugal.

I currently have a valid and active US Passport, I know I am a US Citizen.

But I do not have a certificate of naturalization or citizenship.

How would I answer this Question 11 parts a-e?

 

This is for a K1 Visa Application, affidavit of support.

 

My idea would be to select 11b and put in my passport # but not sure.

Would appreciate any tips!

Thank you all.

The start of our K1 Visa Journey from Cuba to Miami: 

 

6/14/2018             NOA1 Receipt Date

6/19/2018             NOA1 Notice Date

Were you under the age of 18 on February 27, 2001? If so, maybe you automatically became a USC because of meeting the conditions of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000.

I am not sure, to be honest. However, as you stated yourself, 11.b. seems to be the right answer for your specific situation.

Use your passport number in 11b and you can discuss with the CO at the interview. You may want to think about getting certificate of citizenship sometime latter. Have you looked into how to acquire one?

How did you obtain a US passport? you must have a naturalization certificate, or a US birthcertificate, to my knowledge. Unless, there is another way, no way you could have gotten a US passport w/o the priors.

A child who has acquired U.S. citizenship in accordance with Section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act need not apply for a Certificate of Citizenship but may do so by submitting a completed N-600 form (Application for Certificate of Citizenship) and the requisite filing fee to any Field Office of the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security (USCIS). The form N-600 may be obtained by going to the USCIS website.

No need to get the Certificate of Citizenship; even USCIS says its optional, https://www.uscis.gov/forms/n-600-application-certificate-citizenship-frequently-asked-questions:

Quote

I already have a U.S. passport issued by the Department of State. Am I required to file a Form N-600 for a Certificate of Citizenship?

No. You are not required to file a Form N-600 for a Certificate of Citizenship. The Certificate of Citizenship is an optional form. A validly issued U.S. passport generally serves as evidence of your U.S. citizenship during its period of validity unless that passport has been revoked by the Department of State. However, you may be required to submit your Certificate of Citizenship when attempting to apply for certain other benefits, including, but not limited to:

  • Social Security benefits
  • State issued ID including a Driver’s License or Learning Permit
  • Financial Aid
  • Employment
  • Passport Renewal
