Questions about citizenship forms

Post Fri May 22, 2009 12:19 am

Hello all

Ok so i am applying for citizenship based on the three year rule for those married to American citizens. I have been a GC holder for 3 years and am ready to become a citizen.

I am kinda stumped on some questions and would appreciate some help :)

1) Question 3E on form: I was born and raised in Canada. I am also considered a Pakistani citizen since my dad registered my birth there when I was 1. I hold an expired PK passport and a national identity card (kinda like a citizenship card). I used it when I go there, basically that card allows me to go visit without a visa.

So do I put in the form I am Pakistani and Canadian? or just Canadian? or do I attach a paper that says I hold Pakistani citizenship and provide details?

2) Question 6 asks for addresses based on people applying on the 5 year rule. I have been here for 3 years. Do I just supply the addresses from the three years I have been here or add any canadian ones?

3) Question 6B on the form asks where I have worked in the last 5 years. Do I provide employment from only the three years I have been a GC holder?

any help would be lovely!
thanks!

On 3E you have to put down both, but given that Pakistani citizenship is basically a red flag I would do a CYA move and include a copy of the Canadian birth certificate, as USCIS tend to go by whichever one you had first in doing security checks. Or put down Canadian by birth and also Pakistani by parental registration or something like that.

Thanks for the help! I will probably just provide the Canadian BC and add a seperate page with a copy of my PK identity card.

I didn't find any info about the address question. Any thoughts?
