certificate of naturalization

- Start date
misza said:My friend has a question: "Can I obtain my husband's certificate of naturalization? He got the citizenship in 1980, died in 1998. Can I apply for the copy of his certification?"
Thanks.
interesting question. i hope you would find your answer.
just wonder if your friend remarried after her husband died on 1998. if she did, from the logical point, she might not be able to obtain a copy of the certification.
good luck

No, she is single but she was said at the imigration office that she couldn't do it because the original applicant's signature is required on the petition. What do you think of it? She just wanted to have a certficate as a document that her husband was a citizen (she lives abroad).

are you saying her petition has been waiting for so long and approved?
since i have not studied / read much about filing petition based on marriage, so i could not really help you much. I am really sorry.
I wish JohnnyCash was here to help out. however, i understand why he would decide not to post / help in this forum because of individual reader(s) who had lot of wrongly comments (etc). I wonder where he is now as he promoised to help other people out even after he got his citizenship. yeah right.
i hope you or your friend can find the right answer asap.

there is an Q&A --
Q: I was married to a U.S. citizen for three years. One year ago, my husband died. We were not separated and were living together at the time of his death. I have not remarried. May I file an immediate relative immigration petition based on my marriage to my deceased U.S. citizen husband?
A: Yes. You may self petition for an immediate relative immigration petition based on a marriage to a deceased U.S. citizen if:
1. You were married to the deceased U.S. citizen for at least two years;
2. You and your deceased spouse were not legally separated at the time of his death;
3. You file the immigrant petition within two years from the date of the death; and
4. You did not remarry.
How, it comes to tricky part. When was the petition filed?

Thanks for answers but she is not applynig for green card. She is abroad, she is 65 and she just wanted her husband's certificate of naturalization - it is only for her, no immigration purposes. Her husband never brought this document to Russia so she just wondered if she was able to get a copy. But it seems to be difficult because if you want to obtain a copy of the certificate of naturalization you have to send pictures and sign the petition (immigration form) but her husband died a couple years ago. So it is not for immigration purposes - just for her.
