US Citizenship - Grandparent Route (N-600K)
Citizenship for grandchildren of US citizens, even when the parent cannot pass it on
A child who didn't acquire US citizenship through a parent may still qualify through a US grandparent - the N-600K route. Requires the grandparent's prior physical presence in the US, and travel to the US by the child together with the US-citizen parent for the interview. We manage the process end to end.
Grandparent route pricing
| Service | Service fee | Gov. fee | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| First child | 2,000 ₪ | $1,335 | fee per child |
| Each additional child | 500 ₪ | $1,335 | fee per child |
| Fee-waiver route (up to 4 children) | 2,500 ₪ | $0 | + ₪500 per additional child |
Service payment is made only after an appointment is set. Government fees are paid directly to US authorities.

Frequently asked questions
Who qualifies for the grandparent route?
A child under 18 with a US-citizen grandparent who met the US physical-presence requirement. The parent must be a US citizen (even if unable to transmit citizenship automatically). We check your eligibility with no obligation.
What is the fee-waiver route?
In certain cases you can apply for a waiver of the federal fee. It requires extra handling but saves $1,335 per child - significant for large families. We assess whether you qualify.
How long does the process take?
The process runs through USCIS, which handles ~12 million cases a year with an average turnaround of one to two years. We typically close it within 6 months, and sometimes within a few weeks.
