Proving Citizenship of Children | Requirements

A common question we receive is what can be done to prove that any children of an immigrant recently appointed U.S. citizenship are also citizens. In order to prove this, you will need the N-600 form to apply for a certificate of citizenship. You will also need to supply a copy of your naturalization document in order to prove that the child is either biologically yours or legally adopted. Stepchildren are not eligible to acquire citizenship.

Proving Citizenship of Children | Being Sponsored by a Stepparent

We are often asked if a stepfather can be a sponsor on a Green Card application. You are able to be sponsored by a stepparent as long your biological parent was married before you turned 18. If you are living abroad, you can file the I-130 Visa Petition and interview at the U.S. Embassy. If you are over the age of 21, this process can take a bit longer to complete.
