FAQ
If you are already in the United States, you also have the option of applying to USCIS using Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship. However, you may find applying for a passport to be more convenient because it also serves as a travel document and could be a faster process.
Proof of U.S. citizenship: You must either provide your most recently issued passport, an original U.S. birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (FS-240), a naturalization certificate, or a certificate of citizenship.
You will need to submit documents proving why you can't afford to pay the N-600 filing fee. The government may or may not accept your request for a fee waiver. Keep this in mind! You need to fill out Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, and submit it along with your N-600 in one package.
$640. (Add the $85 biometric fee for a total of $725, where applicable. See exceptions below.)
When filing Form N-600, you will be asked to submit the following documents: Two 2-inch-by-2-inch passport style photos. The applicant's birth certificate or record. Evidence of the parent's U.S. citizenship. The U.S. citizen parent's birth certificate.
In a Nutshell The current average processing time across all offices is 15.5 months. The whole naturalization process (including application processing, the citizenship interview and exam, and oath of allegiance ceremony) takes 18-24 months on average.
$1,170. (This fee applies even if you are filing as an adopted child or as a child of a veteran or member of the U.S. armed forces.) You may pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier's check or pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions.
The USCIS estimated processing time for an N-600 application is approximately 9 to 14 months from the date of receipt as of March 2023. It should be noted that these are only estimates, and processing times may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the USCIS office's workload.
