Citizenship question about spouse

[killadocg23 88]

My wife is a US citizen. She acquired her citizenship Not by birth and not by naturalization. I believe she got it passed down through her mom or granddad. Is there a way to find out when my wife became a citizen. I need the date and year of when she got her citizenship.

More than likely, she got it from her mum. Similar to my Son's case, I got my citizenship when he was under 18yr so he automatically gain citizenship from me. I did asked the same question to the USCIS officer at my oath ceremony and she said my son become citizen the same day I got mine. He got his passport but I also filed the N600.

In short, your wife citizenship date will be the date her mum took the oath it should be on the citizenship certificate

This was something that happened over 15 years ago when my wife became a citizen. She asked her mom and she said she doesn't remember and that she would have to look for the paperwork. My mother in law is a person who doesn't think anything is urgent unless it benefits her so i doubt she will be looking for my wife's paperwork anytime soon hence me asking this question here.

 

Can somebody please tell me if there is a way to find this out?

*Does wife have a passport?

*If so when was the first time she applied for one? FOIA on that application.

Again, my wife does not know when the first time she applied for one because she was a child when she got citizenship and this was a long long time ago, more than a decade ago. How do I submit a FOIA to get her MM/DD/YYYY she became a citizen? Thanks for your repsonse.

So your wife doesn't have her old passports? The logic is citizenship proof was used to obtain her first passport so FOIA is get info on that passport application and possibly deduce the dates from that info.

No matter what form you are filling out ( ex I-130 or N-400) you can answer those questions as UNK ( unknown ) and will have NO PROBLEM at all

Just submit a copy of her current US passport.

No need to delay or wait for a FOIA

If you are completing a paper form , you can write in UNK

If you are doing online then input something like 01/01/1111 and add a notation such as page x, pârț t, item Z date   Unkn
