USC spouse was not born in the US

[wishin&waitin 0]

Hi there,

As i was filling the AOS form, i noticed they asked for the birthplace of my spouse. My spouse was born in Taiwan and gained citizenship through his parents. Do i have to submit supporting documents to show that? Cause if they find that he is born in Taiwan, they may have to do a background check on his US citizenship?

Don't stress to much on it, they just want proof that he's a citizen (no matter how he got it)...make sure he sends copy of US passport (i'm assuming he has one) and Certificate of Naturalization...

Both of us were born in Germany (one German Citizen, one US citizen through birth/parents) and it caused no problems or delays.

At the AOS stage the USC Spouse is really not part of the picture (in this regard) anyway.

Did you send a a copy of the US passport and cert of naturalization though? Thanks for all your quick answers!

One or the other is enough, no need to send both.
