Hello VJ,

My husband came to USA in 2000 overstated his J1 visa (he was 19 at that time).

He bacame a legal resident in July 2012 at age of 31.

So he overstated his visa for about ten years.

He will be applying for citizenship based on 3 year rule in April.

We are confused about question number 46 on N400.

"Are you a male who lived in the United States at any time between your 18th and 26th birthdays?

(This does not include living in the United States as a lawful nonimmigrant)".

What he should answer "yes" or "no'?

Thank you

If you want to answer truthfully....then you answer "Yes".

If you choose to be deceitful........then you answer "No".

When they would ask when did he come to US and on which visa, what will be the answer? I think you should clearly state yes.

Undocumented immigrants have to register. So answer is YES.

But he is 31 now so I believe it is not a big issue for naturalization.

How did he become a legal resident?

Since he became a legal resident in July 2012, exactly 3 years minus 90 days before he plans on applying for citizenship in April 2015, I assume he gained legal status through adjustment of status after marriage to a US citizen.
