Habitual Residents (Micronesia)
Qualifying for immigration based on habitual residence in the Freely Associated States (FAS) of the former Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands, namely, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau, requires a citizen of the FAS to be admitted to a territory or possession of the United States (other than American Samoa or the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as long as the Act is not applicable to them) and who occupies in such territory or possession a habitual residence. A habitual residence is a place of general abode or a principal, actual dwelling place of a continuing or lasting nature.
The immigrant under this category must maintain the following, among other things: i) financial independence, i.e., be self-supporting; and ii) refuse unauthorized public benefits by fraud or misrepresentation.
