Anyone Familiar with DS-1350 / FS-240 - Birth Certificates

[kennym 275]

All

As I was reviewing my completed I129 Form, I am not sure if I've answered this correctly

I was born in Nurmberg, Germany in 1964.. I have an Original of the DS1350 "Certificate of Birth" Issued by Department of State. I have a copy of an FS-240 "Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America". I also have a US Issued Passport which expires in 2016. The issue is, I am not sure which of the options to select in question #10. None of the options seem to apply to my situation.

Of course, I could be wrong, so again I come to VJ for your help..

Question:

10. My citizenship was acquired through (check one)

Options are:

Option 1 - Birth in the U.S.

Option 2 - Naturalization

Give number of certificate, date and place it was issued.

Option 3 - Parents

If "Yes," give certificate number, date and place it was issued.

How should I respond to this Item?

In your case - of the three choices (it looks like more, but its not); Born in US, Naturalization, Parents; Choose 'Parents' and you can move on to #11.

(For proof of citizenship, you can submit a copy of the FS-240 or a copy of your entire US passport, which is what I did. Born there the same year as you.)
