Q: Can I apply for my son's n-600 application if he has an expired B1 Visa?
Hello, my son (biological, born in Brazil, out of wedlock) is in the US. He entered with a B2 visa and it is now expired. His mother is in Brazil and cannot be located. I want to apply for N-600 for him. He is 12 years old. I have lived in the US on and off since 2005 and have been loving in the US continuously since 2012. I meet the parent requirements to apply for the N-600 on his behalf. Can we apply even if his B2 visa is expired?
A: Maybe. More information is needed. Acquisition of citizenship for a child born abroad is tricky, especially in the case of a USC father and an illegitimate birth. You would do well to consult with an immigration attorney who can advise you based on all the details of the case.
