You were given solid advice from @Crazy Cat . If you do not want to follow that advice then your beneficiary can file N-400 in 5 years to become a U.S. citizen. 
 

Being worried shows that your heart is in the right place.

 

However good intentions alone are not enough.

 

Ask yourself if you have it in you to see this process through:

 

* get your child a visa before December 1.

 

* bring your child into the U.S. before December 1.

 

* After entry into the US, take your child to SSA to get an SSN

 

* After the SSN is in hand, take your child to the state motor vehicles department to get for your child’s state ID

 

* Once the state ID is in hand, take your child to post office to apply for your child’s US passport book and passport card

 

* Once the U.S. passport is in hand, file N-600 for your child to get a certificate of citizenship.

 

If you will not today, commit to yourself and your child your willingness and commitment to do all of the above, then inform your child and NVC that all this is too much effort, and instead

 

* you have decided your child will bot be taking advantage of the benefits of the Child Citizenship Act  of 2000 (CCA2000).

 

* withdraw the I-864W and replace it with an I-864. Now you will be responsible for ensuring your child has a minimum income of $1500 per month for life.

 

* remind your child to pay the immigrant fee to get a green card

 

This way you have no responsibilities other than the I-864 obligation, and your child, as an 18 year old adult will be legally empowered to:

 

* go to SSA alone

* go to the motor vehicles department alone

* file N-400 alone in 5 years

* apply for a passport alone in 6 years

 

But if you want your child to benefit from CCA2000, then you  need to be proactive, now. 
 

Let us know what you your strategy is for your child: CCA2000 or N-400. If the former, follow the advice you have been given before it is too late.
