N600 cannot be filed before one's parent is a citizen. You'll have to wait. As long as you take the oath before she turns 18, she'll automatically become a citizen, and the N600 can be filed even after she turns 18 (though it's easier if you get it out of the way as soon as you become a citizen). You can also apply for her passport first, or at the same time (I think).

I see, thanks for this cafeconleche. My daughter is 17 so I still have some time.
