Hello,

I got 2 Questions please.

1- Does age matter for getting ur citizenship? i mean if someone his wife older than him, it can be a serious issue? (On the citizenship Interview)?

2- I read about some people when they go to have their FP taken, they call the FBI between their fingerprints and the interview, and they will be told the check was cleared the same day? (Now is this mean the FBI Name check was cleared?) or this something else? because i see some people waited so many years for their name to be cleared, Please Clearfy this point for me please.

Thanks alot.

Apparently, there is no age limit for U.S. citizenship.

Eulalia Maturey became a U.S. citizen at age 101.

I think he means that if he is 21 and is married to someone aged 91 in a care home, will the officer smell a rat ?

or at least diapers...

NO, age is not an issue for US Citizenship. My husband is 17 years younger than me and no one mentioned it this whole process - only at the Consulate level in his country.

About the name check, in the past name check took a long time for people with very common or red flag names (people who had been in trouble with the law having the same name) but now rules are stricter and they are pretty much caught up. Name check is usually quite fast so you don't need to worry about it.

I agree that the age of the candidate is irrelevant, but their sponsor's (spouse's) age might be questioned if the age gap is unusual. Any factor that counts as unusual may warrant a closer examination.

If it was accepted at the green card stage then I don't see that it would be not accepted at naturalization stage but they might feel that it's worth double checking by asking the question.

Personally, I like a female with a bit of tread left myself so it should be the same for women. Michael Douglas's father in law is younger than him - that is unusual.

I had a cousin who married a 42 year old woman when he was 22 and she had a 19 year old daughter. He died first actually, so it seems risky.

Thank you very Much.

That's correct. As long as 18 years or older, and meets the continuous and physical presence rules, then spouse has no affect on your application.

And yes, the FBI runs the background checks, who know how they work but probably they process each days inputs as they come..

Except that ALL matters pertaining to an applicant's immigration history so far is up for review at this time and questions regarding any aspect of it can be asked.

If any elements appear unusual, say an 18 year old man marrying a 75 year old female USC, then it is natural and proper that an Officer would seek to be satisfied on those unusual aspects of the case even though they were addressed at GC time. Indeed, even after Naturalization, any evidence of fraud can cancel a Naturalization that has happened - so it is never 'done with'

So it would not be correct to say that such elements are irrelevant and will not arise in the interview. It is best to be prepared and not taken by surprise. I am preparing for any questions regarding my relationship as it is a key element for anyone who obtained an immediate relative visa

Even people who are applying on their own after 5 years and are divorced, could be asked about the spouse who sponsored them and the circumstances surrounding that. The Officers are not limited to any questions regarding the history of the case right back to the start..

Having said that, if the case got through GC then it is pretty well nailed on it will get through Natutalization. The troubles I have read have been the result of information received from ex spouses etc and the result of criminal gangs being busted. Still, the Officer is paid to fish and fish they will.
