入籍申請 N-400
- pjiang -
拿到了美國綠卡，沒有改變的是中國國籍。使用中國護照進入其它國家，一般還需要預先申請簽證。另外，為了保持綠卡身份，還必須保證在美國的居留期限。否則，綠卡有可能會被吊銷。
加入了美國國籍，就可以避免上麵的麻煩。
但是，隨之而來的是你持美國護照回中國，就需要申請中國的簽證了，同時在中國境內的停留，也有了時間上的限製。
另一方麵，你的美國國籍，拓展了你的就業麵。
由持有綠卡到入籍，唯一的條件就是時間。一般來說，年滿 18 歲，滿足條件的話，可以在綠卡五年之後（在美國居留超過 30 個月）申請入籍；如果是已婚三年且配偶在最近三年保持其公民身份，你們一直在共同生活，可以提早至三年（超過 18 個月），－－即使綠卡不是通過與公民的婚姻而獲得的。
對於婚姻綠卡來說，有的是先取得臨時綠卡而後轉正的。入籍與臨時綠卡何時轉正毫無關聯，這個起始時間是從你獲得臨時綠卡開始計算。
後麵這一點，經常有人有困惑。
例：王五同學在 5/22/1997 獲得了 EB 綠卡，於 10/22/1997 與公民成婚，且一直共同生活。王五同學可以在 10/22/2000 申請入籍，而不必等到 5/22/2002.
申請入籍可以提前 90 天提交申請，所以又有四年九個月、或兩年九個月一說。
這樣，王五同學的入籍申請可以早至在 7/24/00 提交，而不是原來的 2/21/02.
雖然你滿足了 Continuous Residence 的條件，在提交申請之前，你必須在該州居住了三個月。
關於居住三個月的要求，是提交申請之前必須在美國連續居住三個月？非也，是說你不能在跨州搬家之後的三個月內申請入籍，而不是限製你在回美之後的頭三個月不能申請。另外，提交入籍申請之後，也沒有離境的任何限製。
根據 "Continuous Residence" 的要求，如果離境超過一年，之前在美積累的時間置零，居留時間從新起算。如果在兩年之內返美，不在美的最後 364 天可以折算成居留時間。
好了，請先去下載 N-400, Form N-400 Application for Naturalization (Rev. 04/05/10)Y Expires 01/31/11. 填表說明在這裏。填表請一律用大寫。

年滿 50 歲並且持有綠卡 20 年以上，或年滿 55 歲並且持有綠卡 15 年以上者，不必參加英語考試，但必須參加自選語種的公民考試。

My daughter is 17 (will complete 18 by next year April), and she completes 5 years as Permanent Resident this month as me. Can she apply for citizenship together with me? or have to wait till complete 18 years old? If she can do now, what I should answer Part2 information on N-600 Form? And question of Part5--C(nonimmigrant?), D (granted ajsutment status?)
I appreciate your advice.
"33. Are you a male who lived in the United States at any time between your 18th and 26th birthdays in any status except as a lawful nonimmigrant?
在拿到綠卡之前，作為男性在 18 至 26歲之間是否在美國？"
似應翻譯為“ 你是否在18-26歲之間以除了合法非移民身份以外的任何身份在美國？”
以免歧義。 謝謝。
