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 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. 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.

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.)

Note: If you were admitted to the United States by CBP at an airport or seaportafter April 30, 2013, you may have been issued an electronic Form I-94 by CBP, instead of a paper Form I-94. You may visit the CPB website at www.cbp.gov/i94 to obtain a paper version of an electronic Form I-94. CBP does not charge a fee for this service. Some travelers admitted to the United States at a land border, airport, or seaport., after April 30, 2013 with a passport or travel document, who were issued a paper Form I-94 by CBP, may also be able obtained from the CBP website, it may be obtained by filing Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Record, with USCIS. USCIS does charge a fee for this service.
Upload


Child's passport and travel document numbers If you used a passport or travel document to travel to the United States, enter either the passport or travel document information in the appropriate space on the application, even if the passport or travel document currently expired. CBP is exploring automation Form I-94, Arrival-Departure Record, in order to collect arrival/depature information electronically, streamlining arrival and inspection for travelers. If this occurs, CBP may scan a traveler's electronic passport (or, for travelers who do not have a passport, some other similar "travel document") instead of issuing Form I-94. In these instances, the person filing this form must provide passport or travel document numbers - even if they have expired - instead of a Form I-94 number when filing Form N-600K. Upload
