I hope you mean 10 year passport ;)

I"ll keep that in mind. My younger son is only 6 years old, he will
probably get more than one passport before he's 16.
One more thing - one lady officer in the consulate told me that it
often happens the consul doesn't ask for proof of the US parent's
presence in the States. It is enough to write down the dates. I'm a
little scared of doing this. If it is ever revealed (I don't know if
this is likely) that the consul never checked my presence in US, is it
possible my son's citizenship will be removed? It is not my duty to
know the consul's job, but it is my duty to worry about the damage this
can cause. I'm not sure about this... I wouldn't be lying, I HAVE been
in the US after my 14-th birthday, I just have no proof.
