    Default Credit and Citizenship?

    Does your credit score matter when you're trying to get citizenship in another country?

    What is this anti-americanism I am getting from you? You don't want to talk like us! You don't want to live with us! You don't want our citizenship! Wha! (j/k!)

    Hahahaha. I've decided to keep my citizenship to America mainly for travelling purposes. I'm gonna hate doing my taxes twice though. Shit.

    I just wanna know if my credit score is gonna matter when they do their research on me for immigration.

    it will be looked at, as well as your 'assets and liabilities'. After all, the US gov't doesn't want LEGAL immigrants to be a burden on the social welfare system LOL.

    Will it make a large impact on my citizenship? Or will that not really matter because of the relationship I have with an Aussie? Just how important is it to my acceptance?

    I think they'll look at it in terms of making sure that you are not trying to "outrun" anything in the US. But, aside from that...I don't think it really matters. I mean, people with NO credit have been legalized in the US...so I don't see how having good/bad credit could prevent you from getting citizenship. Especially if you are not trying to, say, outrun the IRS for back taxes or anything like that.

    I have two citizenships and my credit in both countries has remained entirely separate. Canada doesn't even have SSN, rather SIN (social insurance number) Entirely separate. I have 11 family members with dual citizenship and credit was never transferred or relevant with any of them.

    ^ It's different CREDIT entirely?! That makes vague little sense but I don't know. o.o Aussies don't have a SSN either, but they do have credit.

    Thank you though.
