Military Survivor Benefits in Doraville Immigration Cases

Like any immigration program, the military survivor benefits program has strict requirements. You will need documents like birth and marriage certificates and service-related paperwork to support your claim. To qualify for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) military survivor benefits for family, you must prove:

• You are a legal permanent resident
• You are the spouse, child, or parent of an armed services member who was a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident
• Your family member served honorably in an active duty status
• Their death was due to an injury or disease caused or aggravated by combat

While you must also meet some other general requirements for naturalization, you will not have to meet USCIS’ residence or physical presence rules.

Additional requirements will vary depending on your relationship with your service member.

As a child or parent of a deceased U.S. citizen service member, you do not have to prove that you lived with your loved one. Instead, you must meet the general requirements of the military survivor benefits for family program (listed above) within two years of your their death.

To apply for USCIS military survivor benefits, you typically need to complete a series of forms, participate in immigration interviews, and provide documentation that supports your claim. It’s important that you clearly designate your relationship to your deceased service member on your forms and throughout the application process.

In addition to proving your membership in a military or gold star family, you will also have to demonstrate:

• Your good moral character
• Knowledge of the English language
• Basic understanding of the U.S. civics (government) and history
• Commitment to the principles outlined in the U.S. Constitution
