N-400 Expedited Naturalization 319b Information

[A&M-Forever 0]

Greetings

Can anyone tell me when my 5 year old stepdaughter can become a US Citizen? She just recently became a LPR (Jan 2012)...

I am US Military currently stationed overseas in Germany and may possibly be filing under INA 319.b for my wife (who also just became a LPR in JAN 2012). Are they able to grant citizenship to my stepdaughter as well? I'm thinking "NO"...not until she reaches a certain age (18), but I cannot find that age declared anywhere....Can anyone offer help here?

I'm just curious how this will effect my stepdaughter, if she must remain a LPR while her mother and stepfather are US Citizens.

We also have the option to wait 2.5 more years and file under 319e (Overseas Naturalization for Spouses of Military Members) but again, that only applies to my wife.

Is this normally the case? get citizenship for your spouse and then if she has children of her own you must wait until they are 18?

THANKS FOR ANY/ALL HELP!

i got confused about part 7

You probably figured this out by now but for anyone else that needs help...

Part 7 A: 0

Part 7 B: 0

Part 7 C: Under "Countries to Which You Traveled" we put "NONE"

I'm guessing your assumptions are not correct. According to the N-400 instructions "permanent residents under 18 years of age may be eligible for U.S. citizenship if their U.S. citizen parent or parents file a Form N-600 application in their behalf." Since your situation is even more unique than most, I'd consult an immigration attorney. They should be able to tell you over the phone what's possible without charging you a penny. If they want to charge you, call another attorney. They will likely say that they can't tell you for sure if you qualify, which is true, until they see all your legal documents, but they should be able to give you a pretty good idea before you drop some cash on their desk.

This has to do with trips you've taken out of the U.S. since receiving permanent residency. We just put "0" for A and B. For C, under the heading "Countries to Which You Traveled" our lawyer wrote "NONE." This section doesn't really apply to people filing under 319(b).

Hello Mnbinth,

Could you please kindly advice me on my wife's case ? Here is the short summary for our case,

I am a USC and married to my GC holder wife. My wife got her conditional GC through our marriage. At the moment, I live abroad in my home country due to my employment with a reputable American firm. My wife stays with me.

My wife got her conditional GC on August 2009 and currently in US to process her application for I-751. I was making a deep research regarding how to obtain her a citizenship while she accompanies with me in abroad and finally learned that INA Section 319(b) can be applied to our case.

I have been working with my American company last 10 months. After my wife received her first conditional GC in August 2009, I believe on May 2013 she will finish 2 years and 9 month term.

My questions are :

1) Should we wait till May 2013 to apply for N-400 under INA Section 319 (b)

2) After she got her condıtıonal GC, we only lived in US around 5 months. Then, we moved abroad and she had a travel document. From February 2011 till June 2012, she stayed abroad with me. Does it create any problem when we apply for N-400 ? Is there any requirement as an example you need to stay 1 or 1 and a haşf year to apply for N-400 under INA section 319 b ?

3) I got my job through my American company, after I moved to abroad. I was not working for this firm when we were in America. Any issues while I got it abroad or in America ?

4) My company pays me in local currency but I fill my US income taxes on a yearly basis( declare worldwide income ). What kind of documents I need to obtain from my company to support the case ?
