  1. Thank you! One question though: because this is a derived citizenship for them, they are requiring a ton of other documents as well: their birth certificates, my divorce from their father, and the custody agreement between their father and I. No problem, I got all of these, but they preceded my name change, thus my original legal name is on all of these documents. I have included a copy of my legal name change for each of the boys (plus the original for my application of course). Should I include a brief statement explaining all this, or will they come to this conclusion by themselves?
  2. Hello!! I am applying for passports for me and my sons for the first time. I became a citizen almost a year ago and they were under 18 at the time, so they derived citizenship from me. Here is my question: When I became a citizen I COMPLETELY changed my name (first, middle, last). That is my new legal name now. Which one do I use for the application? It says "parents' name at birth", but mine has completely changed legally. Do I put the old name or the new legal name?? I am of course sending in the certificate of naturalization but that has my NEW legal name on it. I am so confused Please help!! TY!!!
  3. Hello!!! So my Oath ceremony is 9/13. I have two minor children, who will derive citizenship from me. Obviously only I, the adult, is taking the Oath the letter states bring all Green cards/Visas/any document that USCIS has issued you related to your alien status. Ok... what about the kids' green cards? I would think no (?) Because this is about the adult but I thought I would ask. Also, after your Oath, what paperwork do you fill out to get your minor kids the derived citizenship? To clarify: yes the minors become citizens when the adult becomes one but it is not magically updated somewhere. There is paperwork the adult citizen has to fill out, just like if you had a baby with an American and they got citizenship from the parent. Any idea what kind of paperwork and where you file that? TIA
  4. Hey everyone!! My N-400 interview is in 2 days. I am so nervous!! Nothing weird about my case. No criminal record, just a straight laced gal, worked hard, nothing funky in my past ever. Any last words of advice?? Do's and don't? Anything you wished someone had told YOU? Tia!!!
