As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the issue of birthright citizenship in the U.S. has remained a politically charged topic, but significant changes to the legal interpretation or implementation of the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause have not occurred. Birthright citizenship guarantees citizenship to all individuals born in the U.S. regardless of their parents' immigration status, and it has been a longstanding aspect of U.S. law.
When it comes to your situation, the adoption of your Venezuelan daughter and the subsequent filing of Form N-600K for a Certificate of Citizenship should not be directly impacted by any political actions or sentiments regarding birthright citizenship. The N-600K form is specifically for children who are adopted by U.S. citizens and is separate from the broader discussions around birthright citizenship.
That being said, it is always wise to stay informed about any changes in immigration policy or law that could affect your case. Keep in regular contact with USCIS about your application and consider consulting with an immigration attorney who can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. They can offer the most current and relevant advice given any potential shifts in policy or law.
