qualified N600 over 18 under 21 - biometrics?

[SunDrop 59]

My K-2 daughter is applying for her citizenship, derived from my naturalization. Will she be required to do biometrics?  I'm aware that she may need to interview and will have to attend an oath ceremony.  She has 'misplaced' her Green Card for the moment (gotta love 19 year olds going to college!) We do have a copy front and back and I'm hoping the original shows up in a purse or pocket somewhere!  From what I've read, if it truly doesn't show up, she can file a police report and request a waiver at interview/ oath ceremony saying if it does get found, she'll submit it to USCIS.

 

TIA!

If she was under 18 when you became a UCS then she can just apply for a passport. 

If she was over 18 then she will need to file her own case. 

If she got it from you then she will not need interview and oath.

I agree with @Georgia16, your OP implies she is 19 right now and your timeline implies you gained citizenship in 2017 so presumably she was 16 or 17 at that time.  She is essentially already a citizen and as @Georgia16 mentioned, she just needs to apply for a passport.

 

 

 

 

All passport applicants must prove both U.S. citizenship and identity to be issued a U.S. passport. For applicants claiming acquisition of U.S. citizenship pursuant to INA Section 320, the following evidence is required:

• A Certificate of Citizenship issued by USCIS (This will also suffice to establish U.S. citizenship if acquisition is under INA 322, discussed below.)
• If the child has not been issued a Certificate of Citizenship by USCIS, the passport application must include the following proof of acquisition of citizenship under the INA Section 320:

1. Proof of the child's relationship to the U.S. citizen parent. For the biological child of the U.S. citizen this will usually be a certified copy of the foreign birth certificate (and translation if not in English). In circumstances where it is not clear that the birth certificate is adequate proof of a biological relationship between the child and the U.S. citizen parent, other types of evidence, including medical and/or DNA tests, may be requested. For an adopted child, it is a certified copy of the final adoption decree (and translation if not in English);
2. Proof that the child is residing or has resided in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent(s) pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence. The I-551 stamp endorsed in the child's foreign passport or the child's permanent resident or “green” card will establish lawful admission for permanent residence, but not the fact that the child is residing in or has resided in the United States as required by INA 320(a)(3). Separate evidence establishing that the child has resided in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent(s) may be requested;
3. Proof that the child is or was under the age of 18 when all conditions are met.

• Passport application, passport photograph and fees. Go to Passport Services for forms and full instructions.
