Advantages of U.S. Citizenship, Becoming a U.S. Citizen and New Naturalization Test

A. New Naturalization Test

Beginning October 1, 2009, all U.S. citizenship applicants must take the new naturalization test, regardless of when they filed for their Form N-400 Applications for Naturalization. Since October 1, 2008, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has a new naturalization test for applicants of the N-400 Applications for Naturalization to become U.S. citizens. However, up until October 1, 2009, U.S. citizenship applicants who had filed for their Form N-400 Applications for Naturalization before October 1, 2008, had a choice of taking the old naturalization test or the new naturalization test.

The new naturalization test (see www.uscis.gov/citizenship) emphasizes on the fundamental concepts of American democracy, basic U.S. history, and the rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship. As of September 30, 2009, the USCIS estimated that it has a 91% overall pass rate for the new naturalization test.

Some U.S. citizen applicants may be exempted or may apply for waiver from the U.S. naturalization test, depending on the criteria.

B. Criteria for Applying for U.S. Citizenship

The criteria for applying for U.S. citizenship vary from case to case. In general, a green card holder or permanent resident who has been continuously residing for at least half of the 5 years in the U.S. since receiving green card status may apply for U.S. citizenship or naturalization, depending on the criteria. However, a green card holder or permanent resident who is married to a U.S. citizen spouse for three years, and who has been continuously residing for at least half of the 3 years in the U.S. since receiving green card status, may apply for U.S. citizenship or naturalization, depending on the criteria.

In addition, under certain circumstances, children born to U.S. citizen parent(s) abroad may apply for U.S. passport, depending on the criteria.

C. Advantages of Being a U.S. Citizen

The advantages of being a U.S. citizen are bountiful such as the opportunities to apply for a U.S. passport; or to sponsor his/her spouse, children (of all ages), parents, and siblings for green card status. Under current U.S. immigration law, U.S. green card holders or permanent residents have limited options when it comes to family immigration sponsorship for their relatives.

For example, at present, the U.S. immigration law does not afford a green card holder or lawful permanent resident the opportunity to file for a family sponsorship for his/her parent.

Furthermore, some U.S. green card holders or permanent residents, even for those who grew up in the U.S. and knew U.S. as their only home, may unwittingly lose their green card status through abandonment or other legal mechanisms, thereby leading to deportation from the U.S.

USCIS Launches a Redesigned Website on September 22, 2009

On September 22, 2009, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Alejandro Mayorkas and Federal Chief Performance Officer Jeff Zients launched a redesigned website (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis), available in English and Spanish. This effort is to actualize President Barrack Obama's commitment on helping customers navigate the very complicated U.S. immigration system and obtain their latest case status information. The redesigned USCIS website is intended to be more user friendly to customers, and a one-stop website for customers to obtain immigration services and information.

Immigration Headline: Woman Sentenced to 3 Years & $1 million in Restitution for Immigration Fraud: Washington Post, September 22, 2009

Tired of Waiting for Your Pending Green Card Cases? Consider Other Employment-Based Green Card Options!

Immigrating to the U.S. via sponsorships through employment or certain skill sets are effective ways to legally and permanently live and work in the U.S., or gain legal permanent residency status in the U.S.

The employment-based green card cases in the U.S. fall under several preference categories. Some of the categories included, but are not limited to, green card employment-based preference 1 category (“EB-1”), employment-based preference 2 category (“EB-2”), and employment-based preference 3 category (“EB-3”). Choosing the most effective employment-based green card preference category is important to the foreign nationals for many reasons. For foreign nationals who have any green card cases (whether or not based on employment) that have been pending for too long, right now will be a good time to review various employment-based green card options. The differences in the various EB categories included, but are not limited to:

1. Many employment-based green card cases require sponsorships by employers. Other employment-based green card cases do not require the sponsorships of any specific employers, and can be self-petitions or self-sponsorships by the foreign national themselves.


a) For example, an EB-3 green card case requires the sponsorship by an employer.

b) On the other hand, an EB-2 national interest waiver green card case that is based on the foreign national’s contribution to the industry does not require the sponsorship by an employer.

c) An EB-1 extraordinary ability green card case does not require the sponsorship by an employer.

2. The waiting time for green card cases for the various employment-based preference categories or cases can vary widely, ranging from 2 years or much less, to almost 9 years, because their waiting time are tied to the employment-based preference category and the foreign national beneficiary’s country of birth (not nationality).

a) For example, the waiting time to receive a green card based on an EB-1 case is tremendously shorter (2 to 3 years or less) than an EB-3 case (7 to 9 years) because immigrant visa numbers are more readily available for an EB-1 than an EB-3 case.

b) For example, under an EB-2 case, it takes much longer for a foreign national who was born in India or China to receive his/her green card (4 to 5 years) than a foreign national who was born in other countries (2 to 3 years).

c) However, if a foreign national who was born in India or China is eligible and is applying for an EB-1 green card case, the waiting time will be tremendously shorten, like any other EB-1 cases, and the waiting time can be between 2 to 3 years or less.

d) For more information on the immigrant visa number availability (especially for October 2009), please visit the immigrant visa bulletin at the website of the U.S. Department of States at

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html

3. Moreover, the green card processing time at the various government agencies changes from time to time, depending on diverse factors such as their immigration case load, number of green card applicants in a given period, new law and/or policies.

a) The processing time for the various employment-based green card categories can retrogress (take much longer than the government’s previously estimated processing time).

b) For example, the processing time for many EB-3 green card cases retrogressed from a processing time of about 8.5 years in April 2009, to a sudden halt (no processing) for the month of May 2009 when immigrant visa numbers became unavailable for May 2009 because the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) cannot adjudicate green card adjustment of status cases without the available immigrant visa numbers.

e) For more information on the immigrant visa number availability (especially for April and May 2009), please visit the immigrant visa bulletin at the website of U.S. Department of States at

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html

4. Some foreign nationals are deterred and discouraged by the dampening economy from, or their dim view in securing U.S. employment, and/or immigration or green card sponsorships.

a) For foreign nationals who do not have or wish to secure immigration sponsorships by U.S. employers, being able to apply for employment-based green card by themselves without any specific employers (i.e. self petitions or self sponsorships) can make a huge difference in their lives.

For example, the differences of either falling into illegal immigration status in the U.S.; not coming or immigrating to the U.S. or having to leave the U.S. (most often, after years of being in the U.S. with established social circles and families here); or the privileges and opportunities to work and live anywhere in the U.S. with U.S. permanent residency status, and eventually, the opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenships.

In summary, choosing the most effective category of green card cases means the difference of waiting almost a decade for your green card, or 2 or 3 years or less. Having a green card much sooner also means having the opportunities to choose to live and work anywhere in the U.S., and eventually, to apply to be U.S. citizens.
