Use this form to request U.S. citizenship and issuance of a Certificate of Citizenship under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) section 322 for a child who resides outside of the United States in the legal and physical
custody of a U.S. citizen mother or father. Only a U.S. citizen mother and father, a U.S. citizen grandparent, or a U.S. citizen legal guardian may file this application on behalf of an eligible foreign-born child.

Eligibility

Note: You must meet all requirements, provide all documentation, and the child must appear before USCIS for an interview and take the Oath of Allegiance (if applicable) before the child turns 18 years of age.
A child may obtain U.S. citizenship if they meet all the following criteria to be eligible for citizenship under INA section 322:
1. The child is under 18 years of age and not married;
2. The child must remain under 18 years of age and unmarried throughout the application process, including the administration of the Oath of Allegiance;
3. The child has one of the following relationships to a U.S. citizen parent:
• The biological child of a U.S. citizen parent who is also their legal parent. If the U.S. citizen parent is the child’s biological father, you will generally have to establish that the child was born in wedlock or legitimated;
• The child of a non-genetic gestational U.S. citizen parent (person who carried and gave birth to the child) who is also the child’s legal parent;
• The child of a U.S. citizen parent who was married to the child’s genetic or gestational parent at the time of the child’s birth (even if no genetic or gestational relationship exists with the U.S. citizen parent) and both of the
child’s parents are also the child’s legal parents; or
• The adopted child of a U.S. citizen parent. You must have a full, final, and complete adoption and meet the requirements of one of the following provisions for adoption-based immigration: Hague Adoption Convention,
including having an approved Form I-800; orphan, including having an approved Form I-600; or family-based adoption, including having an adoption before age 16 (or age 18 if the sibling exception at INA 101(b)(1)(E)(ii)
applies), and two years of legal custody and joint residence with the adoptive parent.
Note: Stepchildren are not eligible for citizenship through a U.S. citizen stepparent, unless the U.S. citizen stepparent adopted the stepchild and the stepchild meets the requirements applicable to adopted children.
4. The child resides outside the United States;

[Eligibility continued]

5. The child is in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent;
Note: In cases where the U.S. citizen parent died in the last five years, the child does NOT have to be residing in the legal and physical custody of the person filing the application, as long as the person who has legal and
physical custody of the child does not object to the Form N-600K.
6. 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 (the child's 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; and
7. The child is temporarily present in the United States at the time of approval of the application 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 necessary for lawful admission to the United States.
