What is the difference between a Country of Nationality and a Country of Birth in terms of Form N-400?

❯❯


To begin with, it is safe to emphasize that these two terms are in fact different. The Country of Birth is the place you were born, while the Country of Citizenship is the one where you were either born or naturalized and which you pledge allegiance to and Country of Nationality is the one of your citizenship belongs to or the one you consider your nationality to belong to.

The fact is that Form N-400 Part 2 suggests separate fields for the “Country of Birth” and “Country of Citizenship or Nationality”. Here is how you need to fill them out:

Country of birth – provide the name of the country you were born in. Even if the country name has changed over the past years, you need to provide the one it had at the time you were born.

Country of citizenship or nationality – provide the country name you are a citizen of as it is of now. If the country no longer exists – provide its current name. In case you do not belong to any country provide the name of the last country you were a citizen of.

In case you are a citizen of a couple of countries, you need to provide the name of the last one that granted you its passport.

I wanted to get political asylum in the United States, but I realized that it was not so easy. I was ready for the fact that I would have to collect a whole bunch of documents and answer many questions, but this did not stop me. The only obstacle for me was a complete lack of understanding where to start. I accidentally found Usa-immigrations.com on the Internet. All the information you need is there. I easily found and downloaded the form I needed, and also learned the entire list of required documents.

A very useful site for those who want to leave for America and do not know what documents need to be collected and how to arrange everything correctly. I had to face such a problem and I was able to solve it thanks to the site Usa-immigrations.com. All the information gathered here is not only useful, but also very necessary. In addition, the site staff constantly update it, so it is absolutely reliable.

It is not an easy task to issue documents to travel to the USA. Even if you know their entire list, that's not all. To obtain a visa, you must fill out the forms and if even a minor mistake is made, they will be returned to you. At Usa-immigrations.com there is more than a list of documents and forms that can be easily downloaded. Each form is accompanied by detailed instructions on how to fill it out correctly. It is very convenient. I liked the site very much, it is simple and easy to use.

I have been living in America with my family for a long time and am a citizen of this country. I decided to lure my mother to her. I began to find out what documents are needed for this. One friend advised the site Usa-immigrations.com, said that it had all the necessary information. Indeed, here I found out what documents are required. I needed to complete a Form I-130. I also found it on this site and downloaded it. Thanks to the instructions for filling it out, I was able to quickly complete everything and send the documents for consideration.
