Legal Question in Immigration Law in Maryland
I have a question about citizenship. A friend of mine asked me whether or not his friend was technically a citizen. Here's the situation: Her mother is a naturalized citizen of the US, her father has a green card, she was 17 when her mother became a naturalized citizen. She had a green card when her mother became a citizen. She is 31 now and she wanted to know that if she was technically a citizen when she was a minor and her mother became a citizen, or would she have to apply for citizenship? Thanks JB

Your friend may file for a Certificate of Citizenship by filing Form N-600 if the following occurred before her 18th birthday and before February 27, 2001:
- She regurlarly resided in the U.S. after admission as a lawful permanent resident AND
- Both of her parents, the parent having legal and physical custody of her, or her sole surviving parent naturalized as a U.S. Citizen.
If your friend would like to discuss this matter, please have her contact me.
