Track your N-600K case status
The N-600K, Application for Citizenship and Issuance of Certificate Under Section 322, is for a child who lives abroad with a U.S.-citizen parent and comes to the U.S. to complete the process. It has moving parts across USCIS and travel, and USCIS won't tell you when it changes. TrackPetition watches your N-600K and emails you the moment its status moves.
What the N-600K is
You file the N-600K so a qualifying child residing outside the U.S. can obtain citizenship through a U.S.-citizen parent (or, in some cases, a citizen grandparent), typically completing an interview and oath during a temporary visit to the United States.
Processing time & premium processing
Processing time depends on the field office and scheduling, since the child must appear in the U.S. Premium processing is not available for the N-600K. Because the timing coordinates with travel, following each status change helps you plan the trip around the interview.
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
The interview drives travel plans for the child, so knowing when it's scheduled matters. Same-day alerts mean an interview or approval update reaches you the day USCIS posts it.
