Hi Rami, > is the presence of the grandparent essential during the interview in US or the child's parent is enough? My experience was that the US citizen grandparent was required at the interview. I am a US Citizen, but did not have enough US residency to qualify. My father was necessary to attend the USCIS interview. He is US Citizen, and had the required US residency.

Hey Alura, First off all congratulations! What an exciting time! You have 17 years to sort out an N-600K, so I recommend that you try the CRBA with the Consulate first. If that is not successful then come back here and let’s talk. To answer your question though, the purpose of the N-600K is to get a Certificate of Citizenship to prove your child is a citizen. It can then be used to get the US passport. So yes, you can get an N-600K. The downside of the N-600K vs CRBA is the expense ($1000+ USD) and time taken. The N-600K can take a few years. Try the CRBA first.

I had a school acceptance offer for my youngest child, school reports, and evidence of our house lease agreement. And for my eldest child, I also included her IB exam schedule. if you child is under 16, I’m not sure how important all that is. Both mine were over 16.
