Child Citizenship act issue

[sa2006]

Hi All,

Here is the issue: my sister is 13 and has been a Permanent resident for 5+ years. My father was a US Citizen before he passed away. I read this article: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1312.html
As per this article, the Child who is under age DOES NOT need a citizenship certificate.
I would like to find out can I apply for her US Passport? Or What other options do I have for her to get US Citizenship?

Thanks in advance...

I think you can apply for the US passport by showing one of the documents mentioned in the link below.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Will it be an issue that she was out of the country for about 2 years WITH permission from Immigration? I have talked to some lawyers and they suggested that staying away even with a permission can be an issue...


Thanks much.
