The date is creeping up when we can apply for citizenship for my wife,
who arrived on a K-1 and received CPR November 2001. My question: can
my stepson, who arrived on a K-2, but who was not adjusted until
February 2002, apply at the same time?

I know that K1 and their progeny are usually treated as a package, but
wondered if that applies here.

Thanks for any help.

Your stepson will have to wait until February 2007 less 90 days before he can apply fo citizenship ie. 5 years less 90 days.
My K2 son who became a CPR in July 1999 is just going through the citizenship process having applied in April of this year.

They can be treated as a package for I-751 to remove conditions, but not
for N-400. So, it is 5 years less 90 days from the time he got PR status.

Unless the people on the CIS 800# misinformed me and you know they wouldn't
do that. LOL I was told that once the parent's citizenship is approved
the child automatically has citizenship and you just need to submit the N-600
to have the child issued citizenship certificate.

Yes. If your child is under 18 and unmarried. I should have mentioned in my original post that my K2 son is 25 yo now. You'll find the details here:

But it would involve two separate applications as they adjusted at two different times. But yes, the K2's application will be based on his mother's status as the spouse of a US citizen who came to the US on a K1.

Edit: I'm talking about the I-751 here not the N-400.

For the benefit of the usenet posters on this thread, I'm referring to the removal of conditions here.
