Our son will enter the US on a IR-2 visa having met the 2 year requirement so his citizenship is automatic. There is no I-485 (change of status) or I-864 (Affidavit of support) required. I could not find any reference anywhere where IR-2's are to apply for the COC or if it is automaticlly sent the way IR-3's are in the 45 days. Anyone know the answer to this?

Update: I waited the 20 mins. on hold to inquire using the USCIS 800 number and asked the question. The processor had to ask a supervisor or look it up which took an additional 5 mins. but came she came back with the answer. Apparently IR-2 Visas that have qualified for Automatic Citizenship will also receive the COC upon entry to the US the same as IR-3 Visas so there is no need to apply for one. This takes 45 days or so.....

Johnny, you might get independent verification of the information. Some people have gotten incorrect information via the USCIS hot line, just as some people get incorrect information from the IRS hot line.
