Hi All,

We applied for my mom's naturalization and made an error in the number of days that she had been outside the USA. We got a denial stating that she had been outside the USA for 924 days and that she could not be outside for more than 913 days. Her dates of travel were:

11/5/2009 9/7/2010

4/29/2008 4/2/2009

1/24/2008 4/3/2008

8/11/2007 9/10/2007

9/8/2006 3/7/2007 (adds up to 924 days)

If we were to apply again on Sept 26th 2011, would be qualify? Or could they deny her again for a new reason?

Also, her Green Card expires on October 19th 2011. So we are now confused if they could deny her on the grounds that her Green Card has expired (since it would take approximately 2 months to get the fingerprint and interview).

What is the best route to take? Apply for naturalization and then apply for Green Card or do it simultaneously or other way around?

Please help!

Thanks,

Hrithik

Hritik,

don't get hung up on counting the days only. Your mom has been outside the U.S more than she has been in the U.S. For me that's an abandonment of residency, clearly. I suggest not to count hours and days, but to wait at least for a year or so until filing another application. Every denial is on file and will cause the next I.O. to have a closer look. Let you mom live in the United States for a while as required and then start fresh. No more international vacations for now!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

you can always hire a lawer

What good would that do if you do not meet the residency requirements? Its lawyer by the way, but they preferred to be called immigration attorneys. If you find one that tells you to lie on the form, run, don't walk.
