Getting citizenship

[mchina34]

Look at page 20 of M-476 form.

Am I reading the first two bullet points in the last section on page 20 correctly? You can be a contractor or in the US military and your spouse can apply for citenzenship??

 

"If you are at least 18 years old and:

Are the spouse of a U.S. citizen who is one of the following:

• A member of the U.S. Armed Forces;

• An employee or an individual under contract to the U.S.

Government;"

 

There is no "Continuous Residence" requirement for such situtations as I interpret it. Anyone care to point out something I may not be seeing here>? It is rather late....

and You will be proceeding to join your spouse whose work

abroad under orders of the qualifying employer will

continue for at least 1 year after the date you will be

naturalized. Form N-400 should be filed prior to departing.

 

Other than that, that is the way I read it too.

yeah, so pretty much if you sign up for the military and are stationed in japan/germany, you can do this route. very interesting. i have a friend in the army...i don't think he's aware of this.

I am a teacher and one of my student's dad's is in the military and his wife is from abroad. She told me the other day that she got permanent residency almost immediately, but she is not interested in applying for citizenship at this time. she is from a European country though. But she said it took NO TIME at all to get her permanent residency!!
