N400 - Country of citizenship for Palestinian applicant

[Sam20 0]

I am a Palestinian was born in Saudi Arabia and I have a Syrian travel document for Palestinians refugees “but I am not a Saudi or Syrian citizen”

On the N400 online application, Palestine is not available as an option for the country of citizenship on the drop-down-menu.

Please advise, what should I select for my country of citizenship on the N400 online application?

 

 

Thank you!

I think for Palestinian, it will be based on your travel document.

Ok, then I think you may base your country of citizenship on your travel document from Syria. Not entirely sure so you can wait for others to weigh in.

Is “Mandatory Palestine” an option on the drop down?

Is “stateless” an option? Personally, I think I’d go with that.

No, Stateless is not an available option

I notice "West Bank" is an option, but they don't show "Mandatory Palestine" as an option.  Are you as a Palestinian Refugee considered a citizen of West Bank?

Maybe just file a paper N-400? The country of citizenship or nationality box there is a text box rather than a dropdown, there you can just type in "stateless" or "see explanation" and attach a sheet of paper with your statement and let USCIS decide what to put down for country of former nationality on your naturalization certificate.
