Franklin Zurita Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) I am looking for some guidence regarding eligibility for citizenship application for my two children which currently live abroad the U.S.A. Ill give you some background info: Im a U.S citizen since 2001 and Im the biological father of 2 children (Child 1: 9 years old; Child 2: 7 years old) they were born outside the U.S and now I want them to get their US passport so they can travel to the United States with me. The children and I currently live in a country abroad the U.S. Finally, my proof of physical presence/residency in the U.S is only 4 years but my father (children`s grandparent) is a U.S citizen as well and is willing to help with any extra info. The questions that I have are; 1) What options do I have in order to achive US citizenship/passports for my children? 2) Under which section of law does my case applies? and 3) Is this something I can do through the U.S. Embassy here in the country that I live now? Please, I would appreciate if you can provide me with some guidance on the right approach or the direction to be followed. Truly yours, Edited October 11, 2019 by Franklin Zurita misspelling Quote Link to comment
newacct Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 How did you naturalize with only 4 years in the US? Were you a permanent resident for 5 years but spent a lot of long absences outside the US or something? Or did you naturalize as a minor? Quote Link to comment

Consult the firm of Murthy or any of your choice to get the specifics of what is possible and what is not. Quote Link to comment
