Not entirely true. Part 2, item 21 pertains to legal and physical custody. Under the Evidence section, number 9 requires proof of legal and physical custody.

N-600 is $1335 if filing online (recommend, it's easier) or $1385 for paper filings.

I didn't think that was possible in the greater Houston metro area!

I mow, he edges and blows. To be perfectly honest, I'd rather mow than vacuum!

At least it's not yet July...

Guessing page 27 or so of your passport? Safe travels and be ready - Texas summer is firing up and it's getting warm!

There seems to be a couple of issues here. First and foremost, your child has to be residing in the USA. If he's gone more than 6 months, he may require a reentry permit. I would highly recommend you bring him back to the USA ASAP so as not to violate the terms and conditions of his green card. Once you have your oath ceremony, your son should be able to get a US passport if you either have court ordered documentation granting you full custody or you have permission from the other parent to get his US passport. The initial passport appointment requires you, the other parent (unless circumstances listed are met) and your child to appear at either the post office or the passport office. IMO, there is no way for him to obtain the passport abroad because the circumstances by which it would be granted are not met. I'd be concerned that the consulate or embassy would deny because the child does not appear to be living in the US and has no reentry permit.

You do not have to start over, however, you should notify USCIS that you have become a citizen.

It's turning into many sweatband weather when mowing. Awful, awful humidity!

You guys are never going to believe this...I was scrolling Facebook on the weekend and Montgomery County Precinct 3's arrest notification pops up. I stop and ask hubs if the lady in the picture was the lady that dropped off the cat's paperwork. He confirmed, yes, it was. Y'all, the lady that used to own Monty was arrested for Delivery of a Controlled Substance Causing Death!!!! I can't even make this stuff up!

Check your wife's I-94 to see how long they issued her stay for. It may well be that it's only that month. Having lost her job impacts her ties to Canada and may lead the officer to suspect she will overstay or potentially not return to Canada. The CBP officer can see that there is an immigrant visa case pending. That said, a visitor visa is treated as a separate entity to the pending immigrant visa, but the officers can use all information to determine eligibility for entrance into the US and for how long of an authorized stay they will allow. Always check your I-94 when on a non-immigrant visa.

What are the actual advantages to filing the N-600 for the purpose of obtaining a Certificate of Citizenship for minors who already have a US Passport and a US Passport card? It's an expensive form to file two times and I question the necessity. Maybe this is a question best answered by @Mike E
