面試時關於出生地或原國籍的問題 - 移民

今天陪老婆去LA field office公民歸化面試

發生了面試官搞不清楚Taiwan和China的差別

（沒錯就是因為護照上有Republic of China）

面試官想要將她的公民紙上的原有國籍改為China

說我們不能用Taiwan

幸好我們有備而來 把USCIS網站上的Policy Manual印下來

https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-k-chapter-3
Footnote#3:
Applicants with Taiwan passports may indicate Taiwan as country of
nationality on their Form N-400 (Taiwan passports show “Republic
of China”). Such applicants’ Certificates of Naturalization are
issued showing Taiwan as country of former nationality. USCIS does
not issue certificates showing “Taiwan, PRC,” “Taiwan, China,”
“Taiwan, Republic of China,” or “Taiwan, ROC.” People’s Republic
of China (PRC) is the country name used for applicants with PRC passports.

移民官看了之後 還跑去問他的supervisor 幾經波折

還差點要只approve I-751 然後not make decision on N-400

最後還好成功釐清正確的policy 順利使用Taiwan作為原有國籍

他們最近內部似乎有信件來指導這種狀況該如何處理

但顯然他們自己email描述也很confusing (ROC PRC 都有China傻傻分不清楚)

建議大家若要公民面試 可以把那個chapter給印下來帶去有備無患

希望大家面試都順順利利！
