N400 are your parents citizens? Question

[Dee11 2]

Hello, In the application it asks if any of my parents are us citizens and I put no.

My parents divorced about 10 years ago and I haven't talked to my dad probably 7 years and I'm not sure if he ever became one.

I have the Uscis interview tomorrow and if the officer asks me if any of my parents are us citizens should I tell them no or should I be clear and tell them that I am not sure due to not tallking to my dad for several years?

 

Thank you.

Why not called your dad ask him hello after 7 years how is life treat you and things going on after that asking him if he ever become american citizen just simple things if you clear to tell officers that you are not sure them they might put you on discussion cant be made or either approved just few minutes phone to your dad not gonna hurts anything at all  

 

Good luck

The relationship  with his father may not be in a place to even  do that. You can state the situation of his status  as you last knew .. then if asked,  state you are estranged from him and have no further knowledge

I agree with you but he need to tell IO truth , but this could be delay his application too if it was me even i have no great relationship with my dad i might still ask him it just me and would call him .

He can tell the truth without needing to try to contact his estranged father. Each one of us faces a situation from our own perspective.

The truth. 

When I last had contact with my father I do not believe he was a USC. I have  no knowledge of his  situation since then.

You've stated that the truth is you do not know. Just say that. Life can be complicated, and they understand.

I'm not sure if this is applicable to you, but don't you have your Dad's information on your birth certificate? Unless your Mom did not allow to have your Dad information on your birth certificate then you really don't have info of your Dad.

Nevertheless, when it comes to immigration it is always better to tell the truth. If that question comes up on your interview, just tell the IO that you don't know but you put NO instead since the only option is Yes and No.

I'm pretty sure the IO will understand given the situation of your parents divorce.

My reading of the initial post was that his father was not a USC at the time .. possibly LPR ? I may be wrong ...

OP's only basis would be the info of his Dad on his birth certificate since OP haven't talked to his Dad for many years, at least there's a document to show if in case the IO asks for it.

But if OP's Mom did not allow to indicate OP's Dad on the birth certificate then OP can only tell the truth that he or she don't know.

Yes both my mom and dad are on my birth certificate and they are both permanent residents not sure if my dad has become a us citizen since I last spoke to him and I don't have his number or address. I also live in a different state from mom and dad.

Good! you can use that as basis, if the question comes up on your interview just tell the IO that you don't no since you haven't talked to your Dad for many years, I'm sure you'll be fine.

I don't think it is terribly unusual. I'm glad I wasn't asked the question. I'm also not sure if my biological father is a USC. I think he must be at this point, but I don't feel like contacting him to ask him about it either.

I do not think it will be an issue - your naturalization does not have direct relation to your parents' status. If it comes up, then just tell you are not sure and the reason why.  And I do not think you will be asked.
