Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that the 3-month State residency requirement for applicants for naturalized citizenship do not apply with respect to spouses of members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty at a location in the United States, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide an exemption to the standard three-month state residency requirement for naturalized citizenship specifically for spouses of active-duty military members serving in the United States. Currently, individuals seeking U.S. citizenship must reside in the state or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) district where they file their naturalization application for at least three months before applying. Under this proposed legislation, military spouses would be exempt from this residency requirement, recognizing the unique mobility challenges faced by military families who may frequently relocate due to their spouse's military assignments. By removing this administrative barrier, the bill aims to make the naturalization process more accessible and supportive of military families, acknowledging the service and sacrifices of both service members and their spouses. The bill would apply to permanent residents who are married to active-duty service members stationed within the United States.
