my wife have A green card for 4 years I am a us citizen what she should do to get her u.s citizenship and the?

Question

passport

Answer 1

After 5 years of residency, she applies for citizenship. Plenty of information on the Web. I think it's the DAR which supplies the study booklets so she can pass the tests, or you can buy books at the bookstore (e.g. -- B & N).

Contrary to popular opinion, your citizenship has nothing to do with the process, though it might have to her getting the green card in the first place. (Note, those who have not seen a new green card, it ain't green; I call it the pink card.) Once she gets legal residency and the green card for permanent residency, the sequence is the same.

Apply at INS, fulfill the requirements, pass the simple test, and then have a naturualization ceremony to swear allegiance to the flag.

Hit the INS URL. It will be somewhat frustrating, as contact with the INS always is.

The only residence requirements are something like half the five years in the country, not out, and a certain length of time in the last two years. But, unless she spends alot more time there than the usual short vacation, that usually is not a problem.

My wife has been here, a legal resident for maybe 40+ years, and she never bothered to get her citizenship. I think she is the official patent owner on procrastination. :)

Now, we are retired, and we spend most of our time in Mexico. Two or three years ago, my youngest son applied and received dual nationality with Mexico. He can't vote there, nor serve in politics nor military, but he can come and go, and have all other rights in Mexico, rights to work there; rights to own beach property; rights to import a foreign wife. I kind of have the idea that my wife might get her US citizenship and then get the dual nationality, which gives her maximum benefits both places.

Hey, Black Princess, don't bother to complain about anyone else's racism.

Answer 2

As an American citizen you should have no problem getting your wife's citizenship. Talk to a judge or a lawyer in your area to find out exactly what you will have to do. From what I've heard there is a charge in the range of $1000 but the actual cost I don't know. Good luck and I hope this goes well for you.
