Immigrant 16 year old

[May531 22]

Hello, just want to ask regarding my kid situation. She came here through my husband petitioning her as step daughter when she was 13 years old. She is turning 16 years old this year. I also became a US citizen last 2023. My question is, do i just need her to apply for passport or I she should apply N400? Thank you for answering my question.

Definitely get started on her passport. Many recommend doing the N600 after you get the passport. It is up to you if you want to do it.

You can skip it for now, but long term, it's highly recommended. Here's example when somebody was asked for it while renewing their US passport:

 

Here's the reason to apply:

 

If you're not ready to pay, at least tell the child so they can apply themselves when they start making money.
