IR2 Green Card & Citizenship


Recommended Posts

Hello,

My 16 years old step son entered the States on 2/12/2015 with an IR2 Visa and I have few questions:
1) How long does he have to wait for his green card? It has been almost 2 months.
2) Will he automatically become an US Citizen after receiving his green card?

3) When can he apply for US Passport?

1) Typically 2 months or so.. I assume you did pay the immigration fee here: http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis

 

2) Depends on his age and citizenship of his parent.

If child is beyond age 18 then child will need to wait 5 years and then apply for citizenship.

 

3) After becoming a US Citizen.

 

If child qualifies for citizenship through parent, then an N-600 is filed to obtain naturalization certificate.
