Legal Question in Immigration Law in Georgia
adopted child applying for US Citizenship
Im 19 years old, Permanent resident since 05/02/2007.
I was adapted by my foster parents
who lived in GA.
My foster mother has a US Citizenship, and My foster father has a green card.
I lived with my foster parents until i was 17 and after They divorced.
I lost contact with my foster father however i still have a contact with my foster mother.
I've talked to a several USCIS representatives about my situation. They recommended me to fill out N-600 form.
Here are some questions i need to ask you.
1.If My foster parents were divorced, is it okay if i fill out information of only one of them?
2.I was told by my uncle and he was told by a lawyer. He said If my foster mother and i could go to a post office to apply a citizen passport,i would get a U.S. Citizenship. Is this true?

Re: adopted child applying for US Citizenship
Dear Inquirer:
If certain conditions have been met, you may have automatically acquired citizenship, which means you could apply directly for a US passport. If you are eligible for a Certificate of Citizenship, you will have to file an N-600. If you did not automatically acuire citizenship and are not eligible for an N-600, then you caould file an N-400 application for Naturalization 4 years and nine months from the date you were admitted as a green card holder.
