N-400 December 2014 Filers

[singapal 1]

Thanks for the info Jimmy, can't say I agree though. Here's what the law says:

Sec. 316. [8 U.S.C. 1427]

(a) No person, except as otherwise provided in this title, shall be naturalized, unless such applicant, (1) immediately preceding the date of filing his application for naturalization has resided continuously, after being lawfully admitted for permanent residence, within the United States for at least five years and during the five years immediately preceding the date of filing his application has been physically present therein for periods totaling at least half of that time, and who has resided within the State or within the district of the Service in the United States in which the applicant filed the application for at least three months, (2) has resided continuously within the United States from the date of the application up to the time of admission to citizenship, (3) during all the periods referred to in this subsection has been and still is a person of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.

Forgive me if I misunderstood your post, but I want to make sure you're not confused.

You have to maintain physical presence until you are naturalized, not until you file.

You have to maintain 3 months of residency within a state until you file, not until you naturalize. Which one are you talking about?

You said ". I had to explain to her that one only needs to satisfy that test up until the filing date of N-400 and it was the continuous residency that needs to be maintained all they way thru oath" but this is not correct.

Example 1: You live in California and want to file your N400. You have to have lived in CA for 3 months prior to filing, but you can move after you file.

Example 2: Under the 5 year rule, you need 913 days of physical presence out of the last 5 years.

Suppose you have 915 days in the US on the day that you file, but then you take a 2 month trip outside the US. On the day of your interview, you no longer have 913 days out of the last 5 years and you are ineligible and will be denied.

The rule states that you need to meet the physical presence requirement to be naturalized, not just to file.

Now, if you have 1000 days in the US and you take a short trip abroad after filing, there's no problem.

I'm not sure which category you fall into, but I hope it's the latter and the interviewer was just mistaken. If it's the former and you were close to failing the physical presence test, then you should not have traveled after filing your N400. Keep your fingers crossed; sometimes USCIS chooses to overlook these issues if the rest of your background indicates that you intend to reside in the US permanently.

I stand corrected. You were right; I confused the CR and PP requirements.

In that case, PP shouldn't be a reason to deny your application and the only issue would be whether your frequent travel broke CR. Rather odd that the interviewer would cite PP when she could have a better case denying you on CR if she wanted to... you're probably right and she didn't really want to deny your application, but was just unaware of the rule (like me!).

I had a friend who was in a similar situation to yours and was denied, but I assume that was because they decided he broke CR... he never exceeded 6 months outside the US, but the rule says that trips under 6 months can break CR).

Hopefully a supervisor will approve your application soon.

PS... just thought I'd edit this and add that my friend ended up reapplying six months later and was approved when he had more time in the US and evidence to show that he was living here permanently. He's been a citizen for 3 years now!

That's what I'm afraid of. Really didn't want to spend money on a sneaky greasy lawyer but looks like they're my only hope.

Had my interview on the 23rd and it was very disappointing experience. The IO didn't appear to possess much knowledge about immigration law and I had to suffer and walk away with a "decision cannot be made". She started out by declaring I wasn't eligible because I traveled overseas for over two months right after fingerprinting which broke my "physical presence" test. I had to explain to her that one only needs to satisfy that test up until the filing date of N-400 and it was the continuous residency that needs to be maintained all they way thru oath. She looked dubious but let me take the English and civics test anyway. After that she requested my tax returns which I didn't bring because I was filing under the regular 5-year rule. Went home and got copies of the returns, brought them back to the IO, but she said she needed more time to "conduct research". I was devastated.

Question is what kind of communication should I expect from USCIS now and how long does it take? Should I preemptively engage an attorney? Looks like the long battle has just begun.

I'm sorry! I didn't even notice your question at the end there!!!

You are going to get one of three responses:

1- You will get a notice that you are inline for oath scheduling or that your oath has been scheduled (fingers crossed!)

2- You will get an official denial letter. Read the letter and see the reason they cite. If it's just physical presence, you can appeal immediately and cite the section of the law you quoted above. I don't see why you would need a lawyer for this. If it's continuous residence, then you need to make a decision; you can appeal or you can reapply when you've accumulated a few more months with no travel. Since you'd be waiting either way, I don't think there's any harm in appealing.

3- You will get an RFE asking for more details about your travel. Respond with anything you can to show attachment to the US and intent to reside here. The rules say that intent is irrelevant, but it seems to be the deciding factor in most borderline cases I've read about.

I wouldn't expect a battle... this may take a couple of months, but it's not complicated; you'll become a citizen... the only question is whether it'll cost you another $680 or not.

Thank you so much Jimmy! It's very kind of you to provide so much useful info. Here's a follow up question:

If the intent doesn't matter, logically it would be a bright-line rule in the law that controls right? For example in your friend's case, if he didn't technically break the 6-month rule, what legal basis did USCIS have to deny his case? In other words, doesn't this look like some kind of free hand-out of cash for any competent lawyer? What did your friend do? Accept defeat without a fight?

In other words, doesn't this look like some kind of free hand-out of cash for any competent lawyer? What did your friend do? Accept defeat without a fight?

So it is clear from the policy manual that trips under six months may break your continuous residency, depending on the circumstances. I think that when they say that intent doesn't matter, what they mean is that it doesn't matter where you see yourself residing, what really matters is where you were actually residing. You can show that you were residing in the US by presenting evidence including letter from an employer, rental agreements, car payment for car insurance documents, cell phone bills etc. that's the part that's subjective, and it's up to the interviewer to decide whether you were really living in the US and traveling abroad, or if you were living abroad and traveling to the US.

My friends case, he was traveling very frequently for work, but that period was coming to an end and he knew that he was going to settle down in the US. The legal basis used to deny him was that he was not residing in the US; that he was effectively in commuter status. He decided that he would rather just wait a few months and reapply and pay the $680 rather than give the same amount or possibly more to a lawyer.

I think you should wait and see if you were rejected or not; don't need to conclusions. There's no need to worry yourself until you get a response from US CI S. When you do get a response you can decide whether to appeal or not.

My wife just had her interview a few hours ago. She didn't miss any questions and the lady that interviewed her said she was impressed. She will say the Oath on April 27th. It has been a long process over the years, but her and I are finally coming to the end of our Journey! Good luck to everyone else!

Hello everyone!

I just got back from my interview and everything went very smoothly. I was there for about an hour in total but the interview itself was quite short (a LOT of waiting). Of course i don't remember all of the test questions but they definitely asked the following:

Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

Name 3 of the original colonies?

Who is the commander in chief? (I'm actually not sure which question it was but the answer was definitely 'the President'; you know there are several questions with that answer)

My writing test was: The people elect Congress.

My first surprise was that there was no reading portion of the test. I'm not sure if he forgot or something else but I did not mention it to him Afterwards we went through my application but that was also super quick. At the end of the interview i got my second surprise when he told me that I would get my oath letter after a few minutes.

So, long story short, my ceremony will be on 04/17. I'm so happy about that because my parents are visiting at the moment and they will be here for the ceremony :-)

Please update my oath date :-)

Congrats Cheesypoof!!

Hello everyone!

I just got back from my interview and everything went very smoothly. I was there for about an hour in total but the interview itself was quite short (a LOT of waiting). Of course i don't remember all of the test questions but they definitely asked the following:

Who wrote the Declaration of Independence?

Name 3 of the original colonies?

Who is the commander in chief? (I'm actually not sure which question it was but the answer was definitely 'the President'; you know there are several questions with that answer)

My writing test was: The people elect Congress.

My first surprise was that there was no reading portion of the test. I'm not sure if he forgot or something else but I did not mention it to him Afterwards we went through my application but that was also super quick. At the end of the interview i got my second surprise when he told me that I would get my oath letter after a few minutes.

So, long story short, my ceremony will be on 04/17. I'm so happy about that because my parents are visiting at the moment and they will be here for the ceremony :-)

Please update my oath date :-)
