Hey everyone,
I’m a derived US citizen. My parents applied for my passport at a local post office after I had became a permanent resident at age 14. My father was a naturalized US citizen and was and still is married to my mother. I fall under the child citizenship act of 2000 INA 320. I have been using US passports so far as proof of citizenship and am now 31 years old. My parents never applied for my certificate of citizenship and I want proof other than my passport of my US citizenship. So I decided to apply form N600 in January, had a biometrics appointment in March and today I received an RFE requesting evidence of my dads physical custody of me from age 14 till 18. I have a few questions because I am really freaking out:
1. I can’t find any sort of records that would allow me demostrare I was living with my father during that time. I left my house and started living with an aunt right before turning 17. Would that be an issue ? Even though I was already a U.S. citizen at that time. My parents and sister were still living together.
2. What would happen if my N600 be denied? Would I “lose” my citizenship or would I still be able to use my us passport. I also got my daughter a CRBA and US passport while living abroad, what would happen to her status?
3. I am also petitioning for my wife a CR1 visa who lives abroad and we just got the interview letter. We were really happy until I saw the N600 RFE. The only reason I applied for it was because I heard it might be needed during my wife’s visa process. Would this be an issue? If the consular officer were to ask for it during the interview, would I be able to submit some sort of explanation letter stating how I obtained my citizenship and that the N600 is in progress ?
i would really appreciate any advice. Thank you!!!
