I'm filling i-140 (EB-1A) and faced Part3, section 7 question about nationality and citizenship.
I'm a citizen of the two countries.
How should I fill this section:
1. Provide one country (passport of this country I fill in other sections of the form)
or
2. Provide Names of the both countries
Thank you in advance

A:
When filling out Form I-140 for EB-1A, it's recommended to list both countries of citizenship. The USCIS generally expects complete disclosure of all citizenship statuses, and omitting one could potentially raise questions later in the process.
While you may be using one passport primarily throughout the application, the nationality and citizenship question specifically asks about your status, not just your travel documents. Being transparent about dual citizenship demonstrates honesty and thoroughness in your application, which is important for immigration matters.
If you have concerns about space constraints on the form, you can list both countries with a comma between them. However, if there's not enough space in the provided field, you might want to attach an additional sheet explaining your dual citizenship status. This approach ensures all relevant information is properly documented while maintaining accuracy in your application.
