IR2 Naturalization question.

[Vondamn1 0]

My biological mother and my then step dad that did not adopt me were married for many years. I am not adopted by my step father or anything like that. I an simple the immediate relative or beneficiary of my mother’s marriage, that’s how I got an IR 2 greencard valid for 10 years,immediately upon arrival due to the marriage length being several years already. My biological mother has also IR1 for 7 years now, but they are divorced and a lawyer said this should not effect anything at this point.

 

. I’ve had my greencard for 7 years now and wanna naturalize but this question confuses me as I wanna answer as honest as possible.

 

”” Were your parent’s married before your 18th birthday? “” then the next 2 

“ is your mother a US “ “ is your father a US Citizen” 

it says ( parents may be biological or as legally adoptive parents). 

 

How would I answer this as my stepdad at that time did not legally adopt me, my real biological parents that gave birth to me never legally married on the book, please help me. 

 

FWI I still talk to my step dad and am still in great contact with him till this day.

hi

 

your stepdad has nothing to do with those questions, you will answer them about your birthparents

 

were they married? no, are your parents US Citizens? NO

 

how old are you?

 

are you 18 or more?

Thank you for posting an answer.

 

I’m 21 about to turn 22.

 

that question simply scares me as I don’t want them to think I’m lyng as IR2 is “ unmarried children of us citizen” or stepchildren too.. you know what I mean? 😊

He did not legally adopt you so the answer will be "no", since it will pertain to your biological father since you were not adopted.
