Hello,

If a person immigrated to the US with an Italian passport ( no visa tourist visa required) and married an American but he was born in Ecuador, which nacionality should he use to apply for his temporary resident card? Does he have to leave the country?

Sounds like a question hat is super easy to answer and I would . . . but I see Pandora's box hiding inside of it.

Tell us more about about how and when the person entered the USA and the time of the marriage and whether or not he or she entered with a visa or without (VWP).

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

This is posted to the CR-1/IR-1 forum which has nothing to do with adjustment of status.

AOS from a visa waiver has been getting quite tough, visa waiver is for visiting only and since there is no visa it is hard to adjust status from a visa. Also even contemplating it before the fact is considered misuse of the VWP for immigrations, it boils down to INTENT, use of VWP with INTENT to immigrate is immigrations fraud. If AOS from VWP is denied, there is NO appeal.

Do the right thing file an I-130 for a spouse visa, and can always visit on the VWP while the petition is being processed. I-130 is not taking as long as in the past to get approved.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.

He entered the US over 2 years ago without a visa. They've been married for 13 months. They do have plenty proof that is a legite marriage.

Then DO NOT leave the country as has been previously suggested as doing so would have devastating results... File the I-130/I-485. The person entered on an Italian passport... Use that nationality...

Your greencard will indicate the country of birth as well

When sending the I-485, do they have to send the medical form as well?

YES and it must be done at a USCIS civil surgeon... You cannot use your personal doctor (unless they are also a USCIS civil Surgeon as well)

Use the country of birth passport. I have dual nationality and entered the US with my UK passport (when I visited) but filed my paperwork with my Australia (birth) passport. It might confuse things if you file with a passport that isn't his "birth" passport because his birth cert says Ecuador.

Please don't confuse things unless you have direct knowledge that it will..

My son was born in Moldova, but entered on his Ukrainian passport... We noted him as Ukrainian nationality.. Absolutely NO issues during I-485/AOS process whatsoever... His greencard says simply says Country of Birth : Moldova. NO CONFUSION.

My direct knowledge is I was told specifically at my interview that my other passport was irrelevant and not to use it because it confuses things.

I identify as Australian even though I'm dual. There are some who might be say born in one country but move when they're little and feel more the second nationality. In my case I chose Australia. As a dual you can pick whatever you want, and each case is different so if there's a passport he uses more than the other use that one. I personally believe that you should pick your birth passport when you're doing it in the US.

HOWEVER, If I was living in the UK when I did mine I would have used my UK passport, not my Australian.

**Edit - you're talking the AOS process sans I-130. Your sons nationality issues were already dealt with. OP will be filing I-130, different situation.

and I say it is irrelevant... pick the one you used to enter the USA because that is how they have his entry recorded (as an Italian NOT as a Ecuadorian)... After your greencard whichever one is irrelevant anyway as the only thing you need to get in to the USA is the greencard... no passport required

Ahhh he didn't "immigrate" he visited the US on his Italian passport... that's an important distinction because it's illegal to enter the US using a visitor visa (or VWP) with intent to immigrate and you saying he "immigrated" makes it appear it was his intent all along to circumvent immigration laws. SO, he entered the US on the VWP using his Italian passport. He is now attempting to AOS while in the US on the VWP.

Use whatever passport he wants. It's important that that is the passport he uses for the entire process. So if either one is due to expire soon (or in the next 6-12 months), pick the one that isn't going to expire.

Ohmygoodness. The above is so wrong. Payxibka is correct. It has to be the passport of the country he entered the US with, otherwise they're going to question his entry. You cannot change passports to exit a country. Likewise, you cannot change passports to adjust status.

As an aside, my Canadian passport didn't confuse them at all when I filed, even though I am from the UK. It shows the place of birth right on the passport.
