Application For Citizenship And Issuance Of Certificate Under Section 322 {N-600K}

N-600K - APPLICATION FOR CITIZENSHIP AND ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATE UNDER SECTION 322. This application is for U.S. citizenship and issuance of a Certificate of Citizenship under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 322 for a child who regularly resides outside of the United States. A child may obtain U.S. citizenship if he or she meets all the following criteria to be eligible for citizenship under INA section 322: 1. The child is not married; 2. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must administer the Oath of Allegiance to the child before reaching 18 years of age; 3. The child regularly resides outside the United States; 4. In the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent; 5. The child’s U.S. citizen parent has been physically present in the United States for a period or periods totaling at least five years, at least two of which were after 14 years of age. If the U.S. citizen parent does not meet this requirement, the U.S. citizen parent’s own U.S. citizen parent (grandparent) has to have been physically present in the United States for a period or periods totaling at least five years, at least two of which were after 14 years of age. In cases where the U.S. citizen parent died in the preceding five years, and Form N-600K has been properly filed on behalf of the child by the U.S. citizen grandparent or by the U.S. citizen legal guardian, the child does NOT have to be residing in the legal and physical custody of the person as long as the person who has legal and physical custody of the child does not object to the Form N-600K; and 6. The child is temporarily present in the United States at the time of interview in a lawful status pursuant to a lawful admission. NOTE: It is the responsibility of the individual seeking the child’s Certificate of Citizenship under INA section 322 to secure any visa or other document necessary for lawful admission to the United States. USCIS cannot assist in obtaining any necessary visa or other document. www.FormsWorkflow.com
