US Citizenship General DiscussionSponsor Question

Will my applying and receiving citizenship in my wife's country prior to sponsoring my wife for US citizenship complicate or have an impact on her application for US citizenship.


Unless your wife should apply for her citizenship during her third year, based on marriage to a U.S. citizen and residence in the US, her naturalization process will depend entirely on her own record with immigration, in regards to residence, time spent abroad and all else. In that sense, that you should become a Brazilian citizen will have no impact on her process.

Brazil has no issues with dual citizenship, which means that she will not lose her citizenship, despite the fact she will have to relinquish it before the US authorities, as part of her oath to become a U.S. citizen. The United States has no issues with your dual citizenship either.

US Citizenship General DiscussionGiving up a UK citizenship - possible for US?

Thanks.

thats funny gegel - 51st state. yeh, WAAYY over this end. haha

its just so difficult to get a visa/greencard for me. I want to move and live in the US but cant because I dont have a greencard. I can visit, sure but not work or move there


Hahaha,,,

Have you considered coming to the States on a student visa? It would not get you any closer to a greencard, but it would give you the American experience. Besides, going to school is never a bad idea...

If you hang in there long enough, one of these days Britain may very well become the 51st state... :innocent:

US Citizenship General DiscussionGiving up a UK citizenship - possible for US?

Hi.

if one wants to give up their UK citizenship (they were born and bred in the UK), then is it possible to gain for a US citizenship or would the same principals apply where you can only get a visa if a company employs you or you get married etc... ?
At this point, the person would not have any citizenship.

Thanks



You would gain nothing by giving up your GB citizenship before acquiring US citizenship. Get your US naturalization complete first and then start proceedings to renounce your GB one.

US Citizenship General DiscussionMissing Entry Stamp in Passport!

1339559427[/url]' post='5442908']
I'm getting everything organized for hubby's Naturalization interview on Thursday, and while looking thru his passport noticed that on our trip back to Lao last year, the Seattle airport didn't stamp his passport upon re-entry!!

We have the intinerary from the Airline, but other than than....nothing (I can't find the ticket stubs!)

Is this going to be a problem??? We didn't think to check his passport at the time last year. We were so tired and jet lagged from the flight it didn't even cross our minds.

Will this disqualify him?????


No need to worry. All you need to do is enter the information you have and to the best of your knowledge. If you don't have exact dates, of exits and entries just indicate them as 'approximate' if the form.

US Citizenship General DiscussionUS citizenship application

so if i get my permanent resident greencard on 2014 and still married and living together,the counting should be from 2014?or 2012 from the time that i got my conditional greencard?


It counts from 2012. Your conditional greencard becomes permanent when you go through Removal of Conditions - ROC. Although during these initial two years are covered by a 'conditional' green card, they count for the purpose of citizenship.

US Citizenship General DiscussionUS citizenship application

Hi!i just want to ask about citizenship. I entered here in the US as K1 and got my conditional greencard Feb. 2012,and expires on Feb. 2014.But as conditional greencard holder,i must apply for removing of condition 90 days before Feb. 2014 for me to get a permanent greencard. Now if ever i will get my permanent greencard on 2014,when am i eligible to file for US citizenship?Thank you for reading my post and hope you guys can help me and give me some ideas on this.


if you remain married and living with your spouse, you can apply for citizenship, based on marriage after three years of becoming a LPR. On your own recognizance you can apply for citizenship after five years of becoming a LPR.

You can send the application in, about 90 days before these deadlines.

I have a question about DS-3230!
So I don't have any attorney or lawyer to fill out my I-130 petition so I ll be a agent by myself. So that case I ll check the second box right? Not the first one. Is this right?


if you wish immigration to communicate with you directly check the second box 'I do not appoint an agent etc etc' and indicate the address where you want mail to be sent.

US Citizenship General DiscussionTravel on UK passport after naturalization

Oh #######, I was banking on still using the UK passport. I have paid for expedited and overnight shipping. Was told 2 - 3 weeks which of course is cutting it fine. Not sure what else I can do other than hope for the best. Thanks for confirming that I have a problem though.


You can certainly leave the country but you will not be allowed back in. You can always have someone put it on FedEx, once it is delivered, and send it to you abroad but it is a risky gamble, if your trip is a short one.

I always expedite my passports and the worst I have experienced is that they delivered it on the last day of the anticipated period.

Best luck!

US Citizenship General DiscussionCitizenship ...and the 6 month/12 month rule

Hi guys,

Ive been browsing around this forum a lot, but I still need advice regarding the road to
citizenship.
I've been an LPR since, 1995. I then returned to Philippines to go to college in 2006. I
returned to the United States once or twice a year. During my stay there, I met
someone-fell in love and decided to get married. I finally finished in 2010, returned to
USA and started my career here and still continuing up till now.

I really want to get my loved one here and so I decided becoming a citizen would be the
fastest way, although I really need advice on when I can start this process.

Dates and length of travel

Phil- May 05, 2006 - 327 days in Phil

USA - Mar 28, 2007 - 41 days in USA

Phil- May 10, 2007 - 168 days in Phil

USA - Oct 25, 2007 - 10 days in USA

Phil- Nov 05, 2007 - 135 days in Phil

USA - Mar 20, 2008 - 18 days in USA

Phil- Apr 07, 2008 - 258 days in Phil

USA - Dec 21, 2008 - 15 days in USA

Phil- Jan 05, 2009 - 237 days in Phil

USA - Oct 30, 2009 - 14 days in USA

Phil- Nov 13, 2009 - 179 days in Phil

USA - May 12, 2010 - till present


I've been in the United states for 2 years and 2 months. Worked and been paying my taxes
for 2 years now. Question is....how much longer do I need to wait to apply for
citizenship? Advice would be very very appreciated >_<!

and sadly...i was too young and too stupid to know what a travel document was for.....so
I didn't get one -____-....if only I could turn back time



These are the requirements for citizenship. It is my understanding you are referring to the 5-year rule as far as residence. Take a look at the link below where you can get more details if you wish. Good luck!!!


Source: http://www.uscis.gov...ources/B3en.pdf

What are the basic requirements to apply for naturalization?
Generally, to be eligible for naturalization you must:
•Be age 18 or older;
•Be a permanent resident for a certain amount of time (usually 5 years but less for some individuals);
•Be a person of good moral character;
•Have a basic knowledge of U.S. history and government;
•Have a period of continuous residence and physical presence in the United States; and
•Be able to read, write, and speak basic English. There are exceptions to this rule for someone who:
-Is 55 years old and has been a permanent resident for at least 15 years; or
-Is 50 years old and has been a permanent resident for at least
20 years; or - Has a permanent physical or mental impairment that makes the individual unable to fulfill these requirements.

US Citizenship General DiscussionCurrent Passport Question

Why would you need a foreign passport at all, if you are becoming American? Actually, from the moment you become a green card holder you are not required to maintain your passport at all. Unless you want to travel internationally.


It depends on the country from which you emigrate.

Some countries require a formal process so that one can relinquish citizenship. As a consequence, even though you swear allegiance to the United States alone and relinquish any loyalty to your previous country, when you become a citizen, your former country may not recognize that as your reneging your previous citizenship. As such, if you are traveling to your home country after becoming a US citizen you may need two passports.

I have friends from Brazil who have to enter/leave Brazil with their valid Brazilian passports in addition to traveling with their US passports in order to gain admittance to the country upon their return.

US Citizenship General Discussionshould i have checked a box?

1342012205[/url]' post='5516204']
Even if the ticket is not on the driving record? Thanks for ur answer:)


Yes, because he committed a 'crime' for which he was not arrested because certain traffic violations don't entail imprisonment and because he took his defensive driving course.
What is important in all this is not the ticket itself so much as the spirit of full disclosure to the interviewer. A mundane traffic ticket will not stop his citizenship process decade on its tracks so be is better off bringing it up a the interview himself and let the interviewer decide if it should be on thr application. When you send in you application and get an interview scheduled it does not mean it it all said and done. The purpose of the interview is to go over your application - hence the chance to make amendments to the paperwork - and to ensure you are compliant with other requirements.

In the state of Texas a speeding ticket is considered a criminal offense, so the former would apply. It is a much lesser crime so don't panic over thar word.

my husband got a ticket for speeding but that was taken care of by defensive driving. We were told it wouldnt be on the driving record. We have already sent our packet in, when filling the form we didnt think we should check any box. but i just wanted to get your opinion on it.

When are we suppose to check one of the boxes?

If we get a ticket and its not on our driving record?

If we get a ticket and paid a fine?

And if we were suppose to tick one of the boxes and didnt should we bring it up at interview or should we do something before interview?

Please help!

Thanks


Traffic and moving violations are not a deal breaker provided there were no criminal charges brought to the driver as a consequence of the offense, I.e. nobody got hurt or killed b y your husband while he was driving over the speed limit.
The best you can do is bring it up at the top of the interview and correct the form before the interviewer I'd deemed necessary.

US Citizenship General DiscussionApplying for a US Passport after the Oath Ceremony

Do they offer passport application service where you take your oath ceremony? Sorry if this is a silly question but do you need to apply for both the passport book and the passport card? Or is the passport book all you need for any type of travel outside the US?


For a US passport you will need to take your Certificate of Naturalization to an accredited USPS and fill out the application for a passport, in person. Your US passport is all you will need to travel abroad, as far as the US is concerned. You may need visas and vaccinations depending on your destination, but that's another story....

US Citizenship General DiscussionI need an advice for a friend ASAP

she already sent the N-400 and waiting for the interview now. She also attached the separated paper as required stating all divorce/marriage dates. The issue is she did not know about the second marriage to the first wife at all just recently.
She is hesitated as to if she needs to address it once the officer ask the question "how many times your spou----------been married", or just give the same answer in the N-400 let it go.



If she gets asked that question and lies to the interviewing officer, she will run the risk of not having her citizenship approved and it may muddle things for her in the future.

If she does not want to be in that position, she might consider waiting a little longer and apply for naturalization based on residence rather than marriage. It might be safer.

US Citizenship General DiscussionI need an advice for a friend ASAP

Hello everyone,
I have a lady friend who is married to a USC, all her immigration papers were filed on the fact that her husband was married only 3 times (to 3 different women)before.
Lately she found that when he divorced his first wife, he remarried her once, then divorced her. In my opinion this make the number of times he has been married before is 4 not 3.
She asked me if that might represent issues specially with her N-400 since all her immigration is built on the fact he was married 3 times and she just got to know that he married twice to the first one. She told me she talked with her husband and he did that claiming that it should not represent any problem since he was married to 3 women regardless. She is scared to be honest.
I appreciate any inputs.
Thank you.


If he lied to immigration it is his problem not hers and it is not her place to raise that issue with immigration. So long as she entered her marriage with him in good faith, she should be OK even if his lying were to present a problem in the future.

At this point, her naturalization process is based on her history and hers alone, unless she is filing based on the three-year rule, in which case, she should not lie, if asked specifically about his marriage history.

You don't need the GC in order to apply. You will need it at the swearing ceremony though.

US Citizenship General DiscussionReady to file, Divorced 1 year after removal of conditions

Hi guys, I am new here. I am ready to file for citizenship after 5 years of being a resident. I got my green card through my ex-wife, we were married from December 2005, divorced September 2010, removal of conditions Oct 2009. My question is as follows after reading another post, Should I expect more excrutiny than normal because of our marriage ending about a year after I got the 10 years card? If so what should I prepare for? Thanks in advance, Jr


Since you are applying based on the five-year rule you will be 'judged' on your own doings. Make sure there is nothing wrong or missing with your tax returns. The interviewer may bring up the subject of your divorce, but that should have no impact on the final decision. The divorce rate in the US is 50% so your situation is not all that unique.

Good luck!

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 employment history question

There is a question on the N-400 application that asks for the persons work history for the past 5 years. What if the person has only worked for the past 3 years (legally) but has been in this country since 2006? Is this considered lying if the person only puts down the work history from 2009 since that is the only time he was on the books and had a legal right to work? The person has a permanent resident card now and is in legal status. Is this more of a concern for the IRS and not immigration? Please advise, thanks in advance.


Citizenship comes with responsibility. Answer the questionnaire truthfully and honestly. If you have not filed or paid taxes for the years you worked illegally, go ahead, file taxes for those years and get yourself tax-current and have the transcripts with you for the interview.. If you filed taxes during those years, bring the transcripts all the same. You can't change the past, only the future.
P.s. good luck and congrats!!!

US Citizenship General DiscussionI overstayed my visa and my husband is petioning me but he is a permanent resident not a citizen?

NOT Me My sister. Her lawyer did not tell her anything. Her husband is wishing to become a USC but would there be any problem even though he filed the i130 for her? aND when he tries to apply for citizenship would she have a problem when they ask whats her status here?



As a green card holder her husband can file for her residence but she will be in a slow moving line, under category F2. As soon as he becomes a USCitizen, he can have her category moved to CR/IR which is for spouses of US Citizens, which will get her resident status much faster.

US Citizenship General Discussionn-652- a decision cannot yet be made about your application.

no, i was the one having a baby with another woman.


Going out on a limb and based on 'son' and 'marriage fraud': If you became a resident of the US based on marriage to a US Citizen and had a baby with another woman while still married, that might indicate to the IO that your marriage to the US Citizen was a scam. She IO sees you married to the woman through whom you acquired residency and having a baby with another woman at the same time.

They should send you a letter either approving or declining your citizenship application. If they decline you, the letter should contain more details. '

Good luck!

US Citizenship General DiscussionTrouble proving citizenship

Hello again lovely VJ!

Currently I've filed for a K1 visa for my Australian fiance, and I need my father as a co-sponsor for him, but I've run into a complex situation and I'm not sure where to go, and any advice or help would be appreciated.

My father was born in Japan on an American military base in 1953 to his American citizen father (serving in the navy), and then moved to the US in 1956. The only 'proof' I have of his US citizenship is a VERY expired US passport that he received when entering the country at 3 years old. He has no contact with his father or mother now so any documents that would have been helpful are gone, no birth certificate, no FS-240. The only thing we have is the expired US Passport from 1956.
I also could not find much information about whether he could have an FS-240 at all, because its highly unlikely either of his parents would have registered his birth with the consulate at the time. (This might be a -very- silly idea but do you think it's possible that the military might have done that for them?)

So! here is where I am lost:

What would be the easiest, cheapest way to prove his citizenship to the USCIS in order for him to be my sponsor? Would trying to get a copy of his birth certificate be sufficient? Maybe attempt to renew the ages old passport? Try to get a copy of the FS-240? Call a lawyer?

I hope this all makes sense, I've driven myself insane with google searching and I need some help.
Thank you SOOO much VJ I wouldn't have even gotten this far without you!


Do you need your father to sponsor you or to co-sponsor your fiancé?

US Citizenship General DiscussionHow Can I change my name, my child's name on N-400 and N-600 & on child's us birth certificate!!
As part of the naturalization process you can change your name and that of the older child, provided you are the sole custodian of the child.

For the child born in the US you can request a name change - file a petition in court - and provided you are the sole custodian of the child you can do it alone.

Once your name is changed, you can request that all other documents - DL, SS, etc - be changed as well.

Provided you don't need authorization from the children's father, it is a fairly simple process.

US Citizenship General DiscussionQuestions

I just have a few questions

Since I have been married for 7 years and am just now applying for my citizenship - what box do I fill out on the form?

Been a resident for 5 years or married to a USC for 3 years?

I am sure I will be questioned as to why I left it so late. The reason is time! My family has been ill overseas and my life has just been so busy here looking after my children. Will this be used against me?

I hope not. I just want to make sure I am checking the correct box. I would just check married to a USC for 3 years because I have....well for 7 years!

Advice please!


In your case since you have been married more than three years and a resident for more than five, check the latter.
You will not be questioned as to why you are applying now, because there is no obligation for you to become a citizen, so this is as good a time as any.
It is a voluntary decision.

US Citizenship General DiscussionNaturalization with a fee waiver

Read Again, the n-400 is not excluded for a fee waiver. It says excluding category c(33), notice the comma after (33)? Also I am not asking if there is a fee waiver for n-400 for I know there is. What I was asking is if anybody else applied for it and how long they hear back from USCIS. Yes, there is a chance her packet will be return but not because there is no fee waiver for n-400 but it will be because they did not approve her application for a fee waiver.


You should get a decision on your request within 90-180 days. Just sit tight...

The link you provided says that "Legitimation for INA benefits requires that the child be in legal custody of the legitimating parent(s) at the time of legitimation." At the time paternity was acknowledged, my son was in my custody by operation of Ohio law wherein unmarried females have custody by default from the time of birth until a court rules otherwise.
