Taking you one step further !
Generally you are considered
a native of the country where you were born, regardless of present country of
citizenship or residence. If you were born in an
ineligible country, you still may be able to apply based on your spouse’s
country of birth if he or she was born in an eligible country. For example, if
you were born in Poland (an ineligible country) and your spouse was born in
France (an eligible country), you may be able to submit an application claiming
France as your native country. Furthermore, if you were born
in an ineligible country in which neither parent was born or had residence at
the time of your birth, you still could apply if either of your parents was born
in an eligible country. For example, if you were born in Mexico (an ineligible
country) but both of your parents were natives of Brazil (an eligible country)
and were only temporarily working in Mexico at
the time of your birth, you may be able to apply by claiming Brazil as your
native country.
