Re: What purpose does the N-600 serve? Is it necessary for children of naturalized citizens?


I have looked at the USCIS site and I have read previous posts about
this and still I get no clear absolute answer.

My wife's sister is newly naturalized in the US and she lives with her
American husband and HER 2 kids, both under 18.

She wants to know if she needs the N600 or not. From what I read, the
children automatically become citizens when she did. And they can
apply for US Passports based on that.

So why would one want to pay $255 for a "Certificate of Citizenship"
via the N-600 application? Is there any reason at all to do this, or
is it just to get some certificate?

If the two kids just get their passports and not the N-600, will they
be able to renew without their mom, when their passports expire? I am
just not clear at all on what purpose the N-600 serves.

Any light you can shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

This was posted today on Visa Journey by someone that filed a K-1
petition.

"Ok so I got an RFE and they want proof of citizenship. I guess a
passport is not enough. They asked for one of the following:

Certificate of Naturalization
Birth Certificate (Born in US)
US Consular certifying I am a US Citizen

I can't provide any of the that! I was not naturalized, my
parents were."
