Section 15.0...RELATED ISSUES

15.1)..My foreign spouse passed away before applying for Naturalization. Is there anything that I, as a US Citizen, need to do?

A..The most important thing to remember is that your deceased spouse (or K2 child) is still a Citizen of another country, and that country still has an interest in them. You will need to notify that country's Consulate in the United States of the death.

15.2)..What about BCIS (INS)? Do I need to notify them about the death of my foreign spouse or child?

A..You do not NEED to notify BCIS (INS). There may be considerations however, because a persons "legal status" may still be important even after that person has died.
