    Default How Does Annulled Marriage Affect Citizenship Application

    Hi all,
    How does annulled marriage affect citizenship application?

    I have had a 10 yr green card for 8 yrs now. I want to apply for naturalization/citizenship but my fear is that since my marriage was annulled (not divorce), this may prevent me from getting citizenship. The annulment decree talks about 'irreconcilable differences' so reasons for annulment would be similar to those of divorce had we decided to file for divorce instead of annul the marriage. To be honest, I agreed to annulment without thinking about its consequences on citizenship application-- I was just glad that we were moving on our separate ways instead of staying in an unhappy situation. I didn't have a lawyer, my ex wife had a lawyer prepare the forms and I just signed them.

    Would marriage annulment negatively affect my citizenship application? Who knows the law regarding marriage annulment vs. divorce in relation to citizenship application?

    Thanks.

    You're applying based on the five year rule, correct? So your marital status is not relevant.
