  • Answers for Natural Born Citizen

    I'm trying to fill out questions as a petitioner and I'm not sure how to answer parts of them.
    1) I'm being asked for my citizenship number. I was born in the United States, as were my parents, and their parents before them, etc. To the best of my knowledge, this question is only relevant for naturalized citizens, but it doesn't seem to be an optional field. Is there a way for a natural born citizen to get a citizenship number?
    2) I'm being asked where my family is originally from. Since my family lived in the United States for many generations, my ancestors came from a variety of places and I'm not sure of all of them because we have been here too long. Is "mut" a valid answer? Is "American" a valid answer?

    Which specific questions are you referring to?

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

      "Mutt" is neither valid nor appropriate and will not be appreciated by USCIS.

      You do not have a citizenship number.
      Your family is from "USA" or "United States of America".
      If the form is asking for nationality, you can use "American" or "USA".

      The forms do not care where your family is "originally from", they are looking for the country or countries of nationality/citizenship of you and your parents. I.e. if your grandparents were all Moroccan but your parents and you were all born in the US and only ever had US citizenship, you would not put 'Morocco', you would put "USA".

      I do not think you're in the correct forum. You do not have to petition someone for citizenship, the foreign individual applies themselves after the requisite 3 or 5 year period. Also, the N400 does not ask for the USC's certificate number, only the date of acquisition of citizenship, if not at birth.

      Are you filling out the I-130, Petition for Alien Relative?

      You should read the instructions and the questions carefully. Often, it will tell you to skip a section if it doesn't apply. If the form does not tell you to skip, you can put "None" or "N/A" in the space.
