Track your N-600 case status
The N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship, documents citizenship for someone who is already a U.S. citizen through a U.S.-citizen parent. It proves a status you already hold, and USCIS won't tell you when it moves. TrackPetition watches your N-600 and emails you the moment its status changes.
What the N-600 is
You file the N-600 to get official proof of citizenship acquired at birth or automatically through a parent. It doesn't grant citizenship — it documents it — and the certificate is a durable proof you can use for a passport and other purposes.
Processing time & premium processing
Processing time varies by field office and whether an interview is required. Premium processing is not available for the N-600. Because it documents a status you already have, there's rarely a hard deadline — but tracking still saves you the repeated manual checks over a long wait.
Processing times change constantly — for the current figure for your specific form and category, check the official USCIS processing-times tool.

Common USCIS statuses
You'll usually see "Case Was Received", "Interview Was Scheduled", "Request for Additional Evidence Was Sent", and "Case Was Approved". USCIS often re-words equivalent steps; we normalize those so a real update reaches you cleanly.
Why tracking matters
An N-600 can sit for a long time, and an interview or evidence notice you miss causes delay. Same-day alerts mean an interview or approval update reaches you the day USCIS posts it, without you refreshing the site.
