Dual Ctizen got married to US what to write in US Citzenship form

[FaK 0]

I am a citizen of Pakistan who moved to Canada and acquired Canadian citizenship. Later on in life I got married to my spouse who is a US Citizen and I moved to US as a permanent resident. I am wondering when I do apply for US Citizenship would I write Pakistan/Canada in my Nationality of just Canada? Would writing Pakistan/Canada cause any issue (except for security clearance which I am expecting anyway)

Please let me know and thanks in advance.

If you are a citizen or national of more than one country, write the name of the foreign country that issued your last passport.

This is directly from the N-400 instructions.

So, if he became a citizen of Canada but didn't get a passport from Canada - he writes Pakistan? Interesting!

Hi FaK,

I have a similar problem too, in that I was born in another country (which I do not have ties to anymore, nor do I think I have citizenship of I think), acquired Canadian Citizenship through naturalization, and am now a US permanent resident (soon to be US Citizen, I hope) after marrying my spouse.

For "country of nationality", I just put "Canada", which is the only country I have citizenship of currently. I have included copies of my Canadian Passport and Canadian Naturalization Certificate to prove such.

Needless to say, this has not caused any problems with either my AOS application or my I-751 application (as for the N-400, I have still yet to find out later on this year).

The problems I did have though was when they ask and put down "country of birth", in which is listed on my green card and other legal documentation. Needless to say, this has caused a lot of confusion in so many ways, both legally and personally....

So for the N-400, I plan to do the following:

-Declare my "country of nationality" as "Canada"

-Include copies of my Canadian Passport and Canadian Naturalization Certificate

-Paperwork stating I do not have any natonality ties to my birth country (copies of correspondence with that country's immigration department that I inquired about recently, which states my legal non-nationality status there)

-Explain in a separate letter, the exact details of my "nationality status"....

-For you, you should:

-Include all evidence of your "Canadian Nationality" and of your "Pakistan Nationality"

-Explain your exact "nationality status" situation in a separate letter.

-And for "country of nationality", write it as "Canada".....(as that's what you are, right?)

Hope this helps, or at least gives you another perspective on the situation.....

Good luck on the rest of your immigration journey too.
