hi5pro Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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? Link to comment
dnoblett Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 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 biological parent became or becomes a US citizen before child's 18th birthday.or US Citizen parent adopts child before age 16 and the child resides with the US Citizen parent at least 2 yearshttp://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-parentsIf 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. Link to comment
