    USCIS seeks comments on proposed revisions to Form N-600, Application for Certificate of Citizenship, which is completed by applicants who are requesting a Certificate of Citizenship because they acquired U.S. citizenship either by birth abroad to a U.S. citizen parent(s), adoption by a U.S. citizen parent(s), or after meeting eligibility requirements after the naturalization of a foreign born parent. Form N-600 standardizes requests for the benefit, and ensures that required information to assess eligibility is provided by applicants. [ID #912]
