Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322			The Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322 (N-600K) is used to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship for a U.S. citizen child who regularly resides outside of the United States.	Learn more about <a href=“https://www.uscis.gov/n-600k“>applying for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate</a>
Before you start your application	Eligibility		A child may acquire 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. 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 the 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 peron who has legal and physical custody of the child does not object to the 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.
	Fee		Fee: $960 $1,170 The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this application.	Learn more about <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/feewaiver">filing a fee waiver</a>.	Updated 11/5/19

		Child's proof of lawful admission and maintenance of lawful status	Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record, is required, if available, at the time of interview for all children seeking citizenship under INA section 322, except for eligible children of members of the U.S. Armed Forces. If U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or USCIS issued Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record to the child, provide Form I-94 number and the date that the child's authorized period of stay expires or expired (as shown on Form I-94). The Form I-94 number also is known as the Departure Number on some verions of Form I-94. If the child does not have an I-94 number, one of the following scenarios may apply: 1. If CBP or USCIS issued Form I-94 to the child, but it is now lost or destroyed, he or she may apply for a replacement by filing Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Document. 2. If CBP or USCIS did not issue Form I-94 to the child and he or she believes that Form I-94 should have been issued, the person filing this form may contact the agency that should have issued it to attempt to resolve the matter. 3. If CBP did not issue Form I-94 to the child because it captured arrival information electronically, type or print "N/A" in the fields that request an I-94 Arrival-Departure Record Number. In this instance, it is important for the child to provide a passport or travel document number where it is requested on the application. (See below.)
