Questions about Child Citizenship act of 2000

Hello. I want to know if I can just go get my passport to prove citizenship status.

I was born in Mexico in 1997 and my parents were married just before my birth. They got divorced 2 years after. Mexico has “patria potestad” which is like parental authority, something that I believe is not a thing in the US. That was shared between both my parents and the custody was my mother’s. That’s what happens in more than 90% of the divorce cases where the child is still very young. My dad moved to the US and became a citizen in 2009. In 2015 he got me my green card, just before I turned 18. I have a stamp that proves I crossed the border into the US before my 18th birthday as a LPR. We tried to get my passport right away but my dad did not have the divorce papers translated, so he was just told to try again after he could bring them. We never tried again because he did not technically have custody at the time of the divorce. I have been trying to make a little research and the “patria potestad” is allowing both parents to be responsible and take care of a child, and also decide where they live. I guess that I could go try my luck again by myself with the US passport providing my evidence (stamped Mexican passport) of the child citizenship act applying for myself, even if I’m 6 years late. I don’t know about the custody tho, I guess I can ask for the translated divorce papers and hope the patria potestad applies for the child citizenship act (?)

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
