Thanks missileman and aaron2020, Do you guys knows what this means?

-“Time abroad counts as physical presence in the United States if the time  abroad was: 

-As a dependent unmarried son or daughters of such person. “

My husband was born here in Japan but has a US Citizenship because of his Father. His Father was in the Military and his Mom is a Japanese after they got Married his Father got out from the Military and live in Japan for good. They just visit US once or twice a year. 

Does my husband does not belong to this category  as “A dependent unmarried son or daughters of such person” ?

My understanding is that, even though they live here in Japan the time living here abroad counts as physical presence in the United States. So, from his Birth he was depending to his parents and is that mean counted?

If I am wrong about my understanding, can someone help me to understand this statement please🙏.??

English is not our First Language, I am hoping someone can explain to us in a simple English.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Everyone,

I hope someone who can answer our problem.

My husband is a Dual citizen from Birth and he was born and raised in Japan. After he graduated in college here in Japan  he then moved and lived in the US for 4 years. My question is, does our son is eligible for US Citizenship? My son is gonne be 1 year old soon and We are currently living in Japan.

I have read on the uscis.gov that:

. Child of U.S. Citizen Parent and Foreign National 

A child born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions acquires citizenship at birth if at the time of birth:

•One parent is a foreign national and the other parent is a U.S. citizen; and

•The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States for at least 5 years, including at least 2 years after 14 years of age.

Time abroad counts as physical presence in the United States if the time abroad was:

•As a member of the U.S. armed forces in honorable status;

•Under the employment of the U.S. government or other qualifying organizations; or

•As a dependent unmarried son or daughter of such persons.

Since my husband only lived in the US for only 4 years does it mean our son is not eligible for US citizenships?

hope someone who could help us, we don’t actually understand this statement. 

Thank you in advance🙇‍♀️🙏

Thank you Sir pushbrk. Is calling them is the better or send email will do? 

I have not yet sent the Final documents. Can I also write it there about my DS-260 and attach together with the documents?

Thank you.
