I-134 citizenship question

[JensJrny2Ray 367]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the I-134 affidavit of support question 1.

My future mother in law will be cosponsoring me. She was born on a military base in Japan and has a US birth certificate. How would she answer the citizenship question? Would she say that she is a US citizen through parents? I don't think she has a Certificate of Citizenship though, because she has a US birth certificate. Or would she attach a letter of explanation? I will be getting a copy of her birth certificate, so would she just fill in when and where she was born and attach her BC with the APO#?

I'm hoping someone else has been through this situation.

If she was born on a US military installation it is the same as having been born on US soil. If she was born in a hospital off the installation, she would have a CRBA.

hello, Im in a similar situation..Im going through the K1 process now and i was born on a military base in japan too.....On the 1-129f form i put citizenship acquired through parents and i checked NO for certificate number and wrote " see birth certificate" right above it)....I plan on picking the option B for question 1 on form 1-134 and giving a copy of my BC..What kind of BC does she have???..DS-1350??...CRBA FS-240??....The birth certificates issued to citizens born abroad state on them that is a birth of a citizen abroad so it basically states your a US citizen... I didnt give an explanation letter which my original paperwork and it was accepted and i dont think i will with the 1-134 since the Birth certificate states their a citizen......i hope this helps some!!!...... ( It was hard to find any info on this myself so i kinda had to figure it out myself even after calling the USCIS)
