Just curious, how many here plan to obtain citizenship for your asawa. Will you do it...

At the 3-year mark?

Later? (if so, why wait?)

Never? (if so, why?)

I guess many on here these days are focusing on GETTING a K1, not so many who are already married seem to be around (or are not willing to share their plans).

*sigh*

Jena has been in the US since 2007 and we still haven't dealt with citizenship yet. We're just lazy I guess. We always find some reason to put it off. Now the plan is to start working on it this coming fall 2014 after returning from Phils. smile.png

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.

Plan is maybe to apply for citizenship when my 10 years GC is about to expire on 2021. No rush. We are taking a break with those papers again and the USCIS status lol. Right now, we are just focussing on our family and a normal life together.

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

For petitioning parents, yes, she needs to be a US citizen.

As apple21 said, you must be a USC to petition a parent.

Here's the link Hank meant to post: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/ilink/docView/AFM/HTML/AFM/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-3481/0-0-0-5840.html

Thanks guys/gals.. I haven't looked at that yet. Probably should start. We have been working on BC and I.D's for passport and its a battle. Correct spellings, birthdates don't really mean much in the province on a little Island..
