- Copy of the minor’s Green card
- Birth Certificate of Minor
- My marriage certificate
- Proof of US residence ( I attached employment record)
- A check made out to “US Department of Homeland Security” as application fees (currently $460)
- Copies of any other documents required
Send only copies. Do not send originals
Send your application package to the appropriate USCIS District or field office with jurisdiction you’re your place of residence.
Once you have filed your application you can check the application status online. Look at link at bottom of the article -
Step 3
Once the USCIS has processed your application (this should be approximately 1-2 months after you apply), you will receive a letter informing you about the place and time to bring your minor child.
Go to the place on the given date with the appointment letter -
Step 4
After you arrive at the place, there is generally a place where you deposit your letter. You then wait in the waiting area till your minor child’s name is called. Go to the window where the name was called from and collect the certificate of naturalization.
