After watching this video, if you are ready to apply for citizenship using form N400, here are your next steps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XkhKLVplVsw.html

Great content. Very comprehensive and clearly communicated.

2:45 Correction: You must be a “Natural born citizen,” not necessarily born in the U.S. You can be born overseas as long as one of your parents is a U.S. citizen.

Very educational RU-vid video, subscribed!

The big no is that permanent residency and even citizenship DOES NOT GUARANTEE the right to work.

Thank you very much Dear Maneesha

The USA password is the 31st as far as power, which has a power rank of 8, the same as Latvia and Malta 😅

I am a new subscriber. I am planning to apply for naturalization and I appreciate you making this video.

Thanks, good video 👍

You can get your social security pension only if you are US citizen and choose to live outside of US

Biggest disadvantage is you have to file & pay US income taxes (subject to tax treaties) for as long as you are a US citizen even if you decide to leave.

Thanks

What about you though ??? Can you tell us???

I am a US citizen, but I am confused. I married Singaporean over a year ago. We want to live in the US and start a family. She also wants to become a US Citizen. I am currently preparing to file a Form I-130 petition. How does a Green Card play into this scenario? Or, is it a faster & different process?

I'm in a relationship, she's situated in US, what's gonna be the best route for us to eventually settle down? Which sort of visa to be selected

You mean "criminally arrested" ?, is it not referring to "police's stop & search" ?

Keep the permanent resident card. No doubt.

How i know my 5 year complete in usa how i check please reply give website name 🙏 thanks 🙏

regarding #7: federal benefits. I was told as green card holder, I cannot claim my social security money, that ive been contributing while working, once i retire. is this true? are there any links or videos that you can recommend where i can read up on it?

Hi, I'm currently on a trip for 6 months August - Feb. (5 months and a day before the 6 month period to be exact) and I'm planning to stay for 1-2 more months (so 7-8 months overall if possible). I'm a permanent resident in the US and already completed my 5 year statutory in 2020. I'm planning to apply for my citizenship when I get back to the US this year. My question is, will my 5 year period reset back to 0 and have to redo my 5 years before I can apply for my citizenship again? I have proof that I'm still a resident and I've been and still living in the same house for 5-6 years, have a US bank account, drivers license and will pay my tax when W2 becomes available. Please advise.

I GOT MY GREEN CARD VIA MARRIAGE IN JAN 2017, COMPLETED INTERVIEW FOR n400 IN May 2022, still no decision, what should i do

Although it doesn't happen very often; The process of renewing a "GREEN CARD" is not an automatic guarantee. Meaning the process can, will and has on various occasion's been denied. In addition, again though it doesn't happen very often. Anyone obtaining U.S.A. citizenship thus becoming naturalized and not being natural citizen of the U.S.A. Is at the discretion of U.S.A. various government agencies, subject to having their status of Naturalization reversed.

If I already have 2 nationalities, and I want to become a us citizen , can I choose which nationality to reject?

How did you learn America accent

What are you talking about?

Can I sponsor my adopted niece and nephew? I adopted them in the Philippines and my husband also adopted them. I am permanent resident here in USA. I am looking to bring them over.

Watching videos today

There are a lot of interesting ways to get your citizenship besides the classic green card then 5 years then citizenship option. My great-grandfather got his citizenship through an Act of Congress but that's not something that happens very often, lol.

No more paper work other then having to declare your world wide earnings for the rest of your life.

Hello. What are the barriers to renewing a green card that has been expired for many many years? Is it possible?

I needed help how to be come American citizens what to do first

if I travel around in the US do I needs a passport book?

Can green card holders sponsor siblings?

Question: So if someone has been studying in the United States as an international student for the past 4 years with a visa, would they be considered a lawful permanent resident?

Actually you just need to be a natural born citizen so you do not need to be born in the U.S. because children of U.S. citizens are natural born citizens as well and they do not need to be born in the U.S.

all of these people care for the benefits wtf just cant do it elsewhere feel fre to leave at anytime

Keep the green card and it is worth it.

kuch bhi dedo

I almost applied but as you told I waited until I watched the complete video.

Thanks

I was a green card holder for almost 20 years, being married to a citizen all these years. Three years ago wen my husband hired an attorney to write his will, it appeared that I have to be a citizen spouse, to be able to receive inheritance if this is a case. I also could not make my own will for our son. So yeah for he legal issues like this, otherwise I was fine with the GC

I’ll keep having my green card for now. Hard to give up Japanese passport

The financial market has been a really tough one this past months, but I watched an interview on CNBC where the anchor kept mentioning "... LAUREN SIMMONS ...". This prompted me to get in touch with her, and from October 2021 till now we have been working together, and I can now boast of $540k in my trading portfolio

A lot of valuable information!!Very well presented!

How european can get american citizenship

If you like to travel, I think being a citizen is more practical. You can stay out of the US for as long as you wish, travel on the US passport, and you have the absolute right of return.

Sadly none of it is relevant anymore now. We have a wide open border. People literally walk in and become a us resident and can work and become whatever.mmm

I am SERIOUSLY considering to renounce to the american citizenship ( I am a dual citizen and ready to become an expat ).Too much shit going on in America at ALL levels , social , political and economical . And the worst is YET to come...... Time to "leave the premises" , as I like to say. Living in the US is no longer worth. To me at least....P.S. I am not willing to keep paying taxes even after I left AMerica .

You say family re unification especially for spouses is a priority? As things are right now it is not established in fact. In the case of a long time married, yes a distinction should be made for those that have been married 5, 10, 20, 30 years or more and have already u.s. citizen children or adult children, clearly it is a bonafide marriage. In those cases, there is not a need for any interview at all. Many countries allow a spouse of their citizen to enter with a marriage certificate. The marriage is respected and the family is not distressed. There is no waiting or interview. It is an aknowledgement that their citizen has the right to abode with their spouse. If a background check is deemed necessary, I remind you that gun purchase background checks are instantaneous in many cases. All of those administrative barriers that are now present should not apply to u.s. citizens that have obviously a bonafide marriage with a non citizen. What is obvious? They have children together that are u.s. citizens! Hello? And they have been married many many years already . What are the administrative barriers for? It just wastes government time i.e. salaries, paperwork, needless computer records, etc. etc. etc. Time is money and gov. wastes a lot of it in these cases. Some of these very long time marriages, the non u.s. citizen already has been a LPR (long time permanent resident) for many years, has a u.s. issued marriage certificate from many years ago, and has been out of the u.s. more than a few years with their spouse, and simply want to return with their u.s. citizen spouses, children, and family, to their homeland, but noooooo, they have to go through the 'process' as if they had never been to the states, and don't have a bona fine marriage. So again, the distiction is if one has no u.s. citizen children and has not even been married a year or two. These cases may want to treat differently .

What does US citizenship get me? I can ditch this BS Venezuelan passport that has given me grief for so almost a decade.

Not all Green Card holders r permanent residence ! U need to explain that to your viewers!

Starts at 1:33

If my step daughters that I sponsored have become citizens, it's safe to assume I no longer have any responsibility for them, correct? If I divorced my resident wife and she has remarried, what is my sponsor relationship to her? We were married for 12 years, but she has not tried to become a citizen.

I got a match where a guy went to Us for masters in 2014 and he got his citizenship.. he said he got through some confidential research in US .. is it possible?

I HAVE MY GREEN CARD FOR 30 YEARS , AND RETIREE WILL I BE ABLE TO RENEW MY GREEN CARD?

Very nice/excellent talk highly informative I would like to proceed my case for naturalization through you if possible I don’t know you are lawyer iam medical Dr from. Pk and lot other things I want to share

Very good but #5 is I think wrong. You say "as a US citizen you can live abroad for long as you want without abandoning your green card." Unless things have changed since I became a citizen (20 years ago) you actually SURRENDER your green card the moment you become a citizen. I always thought it strange that you then have NOTHING to prove you are here legally unless you acquire a passport.

That was very informative. Can you please make a video on rules for duration and related bindings during your green card status. Thanks

Depends on what passport you hold. If it's European or Japanese passport,then you can keep a green card. If you have a third world country passport,then of course it's better to get an American citizenship

Great video! Very informative and straight to the point. And I have a question, can a US citizen who's living abroad petition a stepchild who's currently over 21 years of age but had a green card before in the past as a minor? A response would be much appreciated.

I have been maintaining a green card . I do not want citizenship . how long I have to fulfill the condition of 6 months more

My question is if you’re a green card holder and you decide to go into army program did you can get your citizenship after when you End of military service or wait until complete 5 years And thank you for the information ♥️✨

@Maneesha. Can you waive withholding tax from american stocks if you are us citizenship but settle somewhere else.

What steps do i have to follow now to apply for passport after im having green-card for almost 5 years now???

You may enjoy more benefits as an American citizen, but you'll always be treated as a second class citizen because of your race and nationality. I chose to keep my permanent resident card instead.

Shall my whole family on a US green card should apply for citizenship.??

American citizenship is pain in the ass if you are planning to have properties or business on your country of origin. America is all about taxes. Lol

How much income in other country need to taxable in USA for green card person

I have green card but I didn't stay during four years more than 18 months , how many months do I need to apply for citizenship in this case?

I want to get a passport so I can travel to cambodia I only have a green card do i have to get my citizen to do so?

Very useful information, I became a US citizen this year and this pretty much covered all the questions I had myself and would have saved me a lot of time! I'll recommend it to my friends who are planning the same journey soon.

Green card holder relinquish his green card than he has to pay tax on his social security in usa or his born country ?

Thanks for the great video & the information! I have a question about the social security benefits. What would happen to SS benefits if you decide to retire in another country after working in the US for the most of his/her life as a permanent resident. Would you lose your SS benefits if you ever decide to leave US in order to retire in another country. Thanks in advance!

Are thinking about going from green card to citizenship?? Share your experience with us!

Thank you for the video, it is very useful to me. I have a question. My green card had a typo error made by USCIS and I filled I-90 and applied for replacement of green card. However, after one year, I am still waiting. Online says "please wait" as there are so many applicants. I want to travel during this time urgently to visit a sick relative. I cannot even get an appointment to visit them even though I tried. They keep saying please "wait" for some more time. Do you have any other suggestions please? Is there a way to walk-in and explain?

Everybody is different Green card fee gets expensive now need thousands $

Thanks for the information I would like to know if you can represent me to file for citizenship

I am not gonna get my greencard before i am 70 or something. Not useful for me.

I love watching your video and you very have sweet voice! BIG ❤️

She is beautiful, but her glasses are alittle bit ugly , because it makes her eyes smaller

Short and sweet. Thank you sis

Why Indians are in a hurry to lose their citizenship??🤔

How long is the extension once applied for i-90

Khud ki country mein green card sy yahan rashan milta hai😂

Depends if your country accepts dual citizenship or not. If not you remain a green card holder if it does you go for US citizenship

Their is no benefit for having dual citizenship because you can always renounce your US citizenship at the consulate that a person is from, you have to declare any foreign money that you make to the IRS regardless.

Your microphone sounds very horrible

Hi Thank You for this Video. Possible to contact You directly ?

Please confirm, can I as permanent resident sponsor my wife to get green card in usa?

Great Video！Good！🥰

Romanian passport can visit 174 countries without visa. All countries in EU + all Schengen countries not in the EU. But still, Romanians cannot buy apartments on the corner of a table, on a napkin, in a foreign country. Americans can do that. That's a major advantage. Want an apartment (house) in Katanga ? You can buy it. Romanians never even heard about the concept.

Hi Mam. We have completed 5 years as permanent residents in MD, United States. Can you be our mentor to guide us through Naturalization process? I don’t know how difficult it is.

I had a Indian who became a US citizen narrated this news to me re. Green card misuse. An Indian guy, got his US Green Card, due to his brother who became US citizen. Now, this Indian, was least bit interested in working in US & pay taxes. So, every year he used to visit US for 3 months & return back to India. This went on for 3-4 years & 1 fine day, when I arrived in US, the US immigration authorities questioned him, why is he out of US most of the time. He just said " As long as I come back before the deadline date & fulfill my Green Card resident status, there's no issue". The US CBP immediately tore up that US Green card visa on his Indian passport & gave him a 10 yr US visit visa. That Indian guy was stunned! So, anyone thinking of cheating the system, think 10 times.

I got my green cars on 16 Oct 2016 I applied for parole for two years to look after my father as my father had parallels attack Can I apply for citizenship as I have completed 950 day regulation stay in US please advice so that I can file my papers through some expert like you

Maneesha, I am a green card holder and I have been outside the USA for 5 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's unlikely I will be able to return any time soon, what are my options?

Great overview - thanks for sharing!
