Broiler-

Ahh...Yes, that is true that one can have multiple citizenships...(but that's another story).....

However, for the USCIS to assume that one's birthplace is one's country of citizenship is one and the same is incorrect...

As some people do have different countries of birth as opposed to coutries of citizenship....

Again, one can choose as to which country(ies) of citizenship they want, but one cannot choose their place of birth...

Which in ways, is unfair....As one cannot have a choice in this matter.....

That is why I don't agree with the place of birth being placed on any documents.....

As for place of birth...It all depends....On how specific one wants to get..

Lol..Do they mean country? Do they mean hospital? Do they mean something else? Seems kind of vague here...lol....

But yeah, having birth country on any documents is unfair, regardless....

Hey Ant, Boiler..

thanks a lot for your replies.

Makes a lot of sense. Eventually I plan to take citizenship of USA but that will happen 5 years down the line. For me it doesn't matter if place of birth on my green card remains as it was. Here is a more detail insight of my story...

1. I was born in zambia, africa (country of birth)

2. My citizenship at birth was not of zambia but of country 'A' as my parents were on workpermit in zambia...

3. I am still a citizen of country 'A'.

4. Since last 5 years I have been living in australia so i've applied for citizenship there

5. I got my immigration of USA done which was F2A category(sorry Ant for confusing you with F11) and got my green card couple of days ago

6. I migrated to USA using passport of country 'A' and the first USA immigration visa stamp was also on passport of country 'A'.

7. Now when I'll leave USA and go and get my australian citizenship, my passport will change to australian and I will have to give up the passport of country 'A' as they don't offer dual citizenship.

8. So next time that I enter USA will it be a problem with the Bordor Protection people at the POA?? as the passport of country 'A' will be cancelled and australian passport will be used to travel??

I hope this provides some more insight.

I'm not worried about 5 years down the line when I'll have to give up australian citizenship to naturalize in USA.

Cheers,

No plus or minus, you are already eligible to use the Australian US Consulate.

Just google USCIS or look at the FAQ on here.

Hey boiler,

thanks for your reply. I'm not able to understand the first line, I have already got my green card. Only thing now happens is change of citizenship from my home country (which is different from australia) to australia. Am I allowed to do that according to USA laws??

I have been looking through the USCIS websites and and haven't found any concrete links.

Would appreciate your guidance.

Thanks,

Hey Guys,

I recently migrated to USA under F11 category. My home citizenship if of country 'A' and I have been residing as a resident in australia since last 5 years. I am eligible to apply for australian citizenship. I wanted to know if I change citizenship from country 'A' to australia, would this effect my Green card of USA.

would highly appreciate if anyone can provide some links on USCIS website or any related documentation to better understand the immigration laws.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I'm a newbie on this website but the information exchanged on this website is quite precise and useful for a first step of guidance. (Thanks to whoso ever managing this portal).

Question:-

I'm continuing my studies in sydney and hopefully I'll get my immigration visa (F4 category) sorted out by end of this month, hopefully. As I'm in continuation of my studies I was wandering how many days of stay is alteast required in USA. I would like to return back in sydney as soon as possible.

Cheers
