My son came to the USA before he turned 18 years old, can i apply form N600 after he has turned 18 years old?

yes

if your son had a green card and under 18 when you got the Citizenship then yes, you can file N-600.

[waa2100]

You cant file N-600 if your son didn't have a green card when you got the Citizenship.
he has to wait until he turns 18 and file N-400

That’s good he was under 18 and had a green card but Did your son had a green card at the time you got your citizenship?

when did you get the citizenship?
when did your son get the green card?

Unfortunately You can’t file N-600, your son has to file N-400

Not true. If at any time after February 27, 2001, a permanent resident under 18 is living in the US in the legal and physical custody of a US citizen parent, he/she automatically becomes a US citizen under INA 320. It doesn't matter which order the conditions are satisfied in (whether the parent became a citizen before or after the child becomes a permanent resident). As long as there is a moment when they are all true, the person automatically becomes a US citizen.

I just read N-600 instructions, You are totally right.
that's weird, the IO told me that I'm lucky because my daughter has a green card at the time I will get my Citizenship.

When we applied for the passport they wanned a custody letter from the mother which we send saying that the mother gives her permission that the son can live with the father ( me ) but they returned the documents after 3 months after we applied for a passport. so my son he is now 18 if we fill n600 does it have to me from me or from him ? or which one should we fill out which form?
