Question about N-400

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Jena is finally going to apply for citizenship (she's been here over 7 years) and she's filling out form N-400. We have a couple of questions, hopefully someone can help us.

FIRST Question;

Part 4. Information About Your Residence

Question 1.

Where have you lived during the last 5 years? Begin with where you live now and then list every location where you have lived during the last 5 years.

Date of Residence From _____________ To _______________

Should the date be the first day she lived at the address? She wasn't a permanent resident at that time. She came on a K1 and didn't become a resident until 6 months later. She's lived at the same address since she arrived in the US in 2007 but didn't become a resident until 2008.

SECOND Question;

Part 9. Information About Your Marital History

Question 8. How many times has your current spouse been married (including annulled marriages and marriage(s) to the same person)? If your current spouse has been married before, provide the following information about your current spouse's prior spouse.

She answered 2.

I was married once before and divorced and we are married now. I count that as 2, is that what they are looking for?

I doubt if either question is that important considering our situation but we're just trying to get it right the first time!

Thanks for any suggestions,

hypocrit - a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, especially one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

Pet Peeve for 2011 - supercilious, contemptuous, arrogant, attitudes.

YES, IT DOESN'T MATTER HER STATUS WAS AT THAT TIME. THE USCIS IS ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE SHE HAS LIVED FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. DON'T TRY TO READ MORE INTO THE QUESTION THAN WHAT IS ASKED.

The first answer is the date she arrived on her k-1

The second answer is "NO"....they are asking only about prior marriages.

The answer is yes, she should put 2 - she should include the current marriage. The question is "how many times has your current spouse been married" not "how many times has your current spouse been married before."
