通过婚姻绿卡申请入籍，夫妻感情破裂？可以申请入籍吗？

In general, all naturalization applicants filing on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen must continue to be the spouse of a U.S. citizen from the time of filing the naturalization application until the applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance.

基于配偶是公民，申请人在持有绿卡3年之后入籍，如果在提交申请入籍之后离婚，入籍申请有可能会被拒。直到入籍宣誓之前，需要证明您的夫妻关系依然存在。

USCIS considers an applicant to “live in marital union” with his or her citizen spouse if the applicant and the citizen actually reside together.

像夫妻那样的住在一起。

If the applicant ceases to reside with his or her U.S. citizen spouse between the time of filing and the time at which the applicant takes the Oath of Allegiance, the officer should consider whether the applicant met the living in marital union requirement at the time of filing.

入籍申请人和美国配偶居住在一起。如果他们在提交申请到宣誓这个阶段没有居住在一起，那么移民官将有自由裁量权来决定他们是否满足，“以婚姻的状态生活“这一条件。

分居分为2种，一种是“法律规定的分开（Legal Separation）”法庭判决分开，只是夫妻关系还没有正式终止，这种情况下没有办法通过婚姻3年入籍。

但是如果只是他们自己分居，移民官考虑的因素有：

• 分开的时间长度

• 是否他们计划永久分开

• 他们在分开的时间内是否共同抚养小孩等等。

移民官将通过以上因素自由裁量看 他们是否满足“以婚姻的状态生活“这一条件。

Under very limited circumstances and where there is no indication of marital disunity, an applicant may be able to establish that he or she is living in marital union with his or her U.S. citizen spouse even though the applicant does not actually reside with citizen spouse.

An applicant is not made ineligible for naturalization for not living in marital union if the separation is due to circumstances beyond his or her control, such as: [32]

• Service in the U.S. armed forces; or

• Required travel or relocation for employment.

如果双方并不是夫妻感情破裂分开，而是因为其他的被迫的原因分开，比如说由于在部队服役，或者工作需要分居两地，都 被认为是“以婚姻的状态生活”（“ Living in Marital Union”）

An applicant is ineligible to naturalize as the spouse of a U.S. citizen if the U.S. citizen dies any time prior to the applicant taking the Oath of Allegiance

如果在入籍宣誓之前，美国公民死亡，夫妻离婚或者美国公民被撤销美国籍，申请人的入籍申请将不会被批准。
