Do you know how my wife can make USA as her domicile country. Take into consideration that she did not fill a tax file before, and she was living in Egypt, but she kept visiting USA at least once a year during the past 4 years

I follow the Canadian regulation and my status as a student in Canada is completely legal. I really know what I want as I want to finish my degre in Canada and complete the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) before going to USA. I expect to complete that in two years. During this time period, I do not want to do more paperwork in Canada by applying to extend my study permit which will expire in 2010

QUOTE (Minya's wife @ Mar 2 2009, 06:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I see, so you did not follow proper Canadian procedures to extend your status there and now want to know about applying to get status in the US? It seems you don't really know what you want to do. From what you're describing you do not meet the eligibility requirements, nor are you ready (timeline-wise) to properly emigrate to the US. Stay in Canada, finish up you schooling, then decide what to do. If US immigration is what you and your wife decide to do, you can deal with it at the time.

Sorry if I am confused, but what is your end goal? To have Canadian and US residency at the same time? Once the CR/IR visa is granted, you have 6 months to move to the U.S. and then you must maintain residency in the U.S. Why would you spend the money to get your Canadian residency (which also has residency requirements) if you do not plan to use it?




Why would you need Canadian residency if you are a student completing your studies? Residency is for those who plan on making the country their place of residence...you being a student means your residency is transitional/temporary.

Once you cross over to the US you will invalidate your Canadian residency.



One thing a USC must do is file annual tax returns and declare there worldwide income.... Has she done that?

My wife was naturalized in 2003 as she got the US citizenship from her mother. My wife has not lived in the US more than 5 months since then. The I-130 application was accepted and we are getting all other documents to mail them to US embassy in Montreal.

Does our wife fulfill the residence requirements mentioned below?

(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (59 Stat. 669; 22 U.S.C. 288) by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or (B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date;

If she was naturalized, she had to live in US for quite a while.

If so your daughter is already US citizen and does not need a green card! Your wife should file a Certificate of Foreign Birth with the US embassy in Canada and apply for a passport directly. Why did your daughter need a green card?

Thx Sib for your reply.

My wife is an American citizen (naturalized in 2003). She was living in Egypt with her parents who r working as flight attendants. My wife and I live in Canada. Our daughter ( 9 months old) was born in Canada. My wife applied for our daughter and for me to get GC. All of us entered USA as LPR in Septemeber, then we travelled back to Canada until my contract will be over in Feb 2012.

My wife wants to go to USA to apply for a passport for our daughter. What will be the best time to go there: next month or wait until Feb 2012?

I adopted my husband's kids in November 2010. I had to submit school records (report card), doctor's invoice, etc. to show they were living with me. That was proof of custodial.
When we applied for the passport the adoption decree was necessary also. But then DOS called me and needed more information, their greencards, their original passport showing the entry stamp, and the above mentioned documents showing custodial custody.
They issued their passports and I got all the original paperwork back, too. I really did not feel well sending all originals, but that is what they required.

If you need more information, let me know.

Thx for your reply. Plz, be advised that our kid was not elegible for CRBA when she was born. That's my wife filed I-130 petition and our child got her green card.

According to child Act 2000, the kid is an American citizen upon entry to USA.

You need to apply for a CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad). She must get this approved before you leave (she is ineligible for a visa because she's a USC). Can take a month or two.

Thanks

If your daughter has SSN and/or Green card, that will be proof of her residency in US, so you won't need any more affidavits.
I am not sure why they are asking your wife's Citizenship certficate - passport does the same. But I guess you have to satisfy them.
Since you mentione about I-551 stamp, I thought that you do not have her Green card.

Hope everything is clear now.

would you please tell me what will be the 2 affidavits foor proof of baby's proof of residence?


i really appreciate your help!

A copy of the passport in place of Naturalization certficate is good. You will need 2 affidavits for proof of the baby's proof of residence - you can give.

My wife has only the passport. She does not have the certificate of citizenship with her now.

The baby does not have any daycare records or so.

Will that be a problem?

  • Form N-600 (download from the link I gave).
  • Check or MO for USD 600.00 payable to the Department of Homeland Security drawn on a US Bank/ Financial Institution (personal checks are fine).
  • A certified Birth Certificate of the Child from where the child was born - translation required, if not in English (you can translate and certify it).
  • Copy of the Birth Certificate (if born in US) or Naturalization of the US Citizen Parent (Proof of parents citizenship).
  • Proof of legitimation - proof of legal custody
  • Copy of permanent residency (copy of passport with I-551 stamp) of child

US Citizenship General DiscussionPassport for minor who has GC
We applied for a green card for the baby as my wife did not live for 5 years in USA ( 2 of which when she was above 14 years old).

According to Child act in 2001, the baby should get the American citizenship upon admission to USA.

We applied for SSN for the baby. We ll try our luck and apply for a passport for the baby today.

Should provide more information, gather the mom is a US citizen, but where was the baby born? If born in the USA, you don't have to do anything, baby is already a US citizen. But if born, I assume in Canada, that is listed as the country, should bring the mom's proof of US citizenship, birth certificate of the baby to your nearest US consulate. Don't get the part about the green card. That is normally only for kids of immigrant parents, if born of a US citizen, already a US citizen by law. Would have been much easier if the baby was born here, but more than likely, a lot more expensive.

Will it be the same process if we apply for a passport for the infant?

It was my understanding that a child born to a US citizen is automatically a US citizen.

Anyway, read the N-600 instruction that state what to submit with the application

My wife is an American citizen. Our 8 month old infant has an endorsed I-551 stamp on her passport (serves as a green card for a year until the actual card received). I have the same stamp as well.

Plz let me know:

1- what r the supportive documents that I need to submit with N-600 to get certificate of citizenship for our infant?
2- Are they the same supportive documents when we apply for an American passport for her?
3- Do we need SSN for the infant when we apply for a passport for

The documents required depend on various factors - where is your kid now (meaning is he in US studying here or staying abroad). Does he have a permanent resident card/ Birth certificate.....

US Citizenship General DiscussionWe need an N-600 thread
Can my wife (US citizen) apply for a passport for our kid (6 month old) without submitting my wife's certificate of citizenship.
My wife has U.S. passport and we have an address in USA?

A shame that the USCIS tells you your kids are now US citizens, but don't give you that ten cent piece of paper so they have proof of it.

Has to be a basis for your question, only one thing I can think of his money, yes a passport is about a third of the cost. In my case, stepdaughter barely turned 18 and had no choice to give her both her certificate and a US passport. But would have done the same of her as a sign of independence of that paper trail to her parent, divorce, remarriage, etc.

I did bring her here, and the pricetag of getting that final piece of paper would only be a small fraction of the cost of bringing her here. Then it would be final.

Also a risk involved unless you go to a DOS service center, for us that would cost more than the N-600, want to see all of your original documents, where the N-600 accepts copies. Those precious documents can be lost.

One common denominator between the USCIS and the DOS, they misplace stuff.

US Citizenship General DiscussionExpedited Naturalization (319b) (merged)

Hi all,

 

My wife is working in American University in Cairo

I have a 10 year greeen card

I applied for expedited naturalization twice and I got rejected.

The first time they said the fees is not correct (paid $595). The second time, I am waiting to receive I-797c notice (cheque amount $680)

 

My wife's contract is going to end in less than a year

Will expedited naturalization work for me?

 

Thanks
