Did you  drive any car and got traffic ticket or your drivers drove and  they got ticket?  

All the tickets were received while out on rentals,  parking tickets usually placed on windows etc. So naturally they come to me in the mail addressed to me as the assumed driver.

They are addressed to you coz vehicle was registered under your name. They aren’t cited to you in the sense like you did the violation. I’d still put NO.

 

 

Ok thank you, do you think i should consult an officer there on the day?

I would say “NO” to parking citations or other citations that’s not cited specifially to your name.

But they are addressed to my name although it is clients who are actually doing the violating.

What answer did you provide when you applied for N-400?

I didn't have this company at that time.

I have a question about the following question on the questionnaire you received to bring to the oath ceremony. 

Quote

Have you been arrested, cited, charged, indicted, convicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance, including traffic violations?

I own a luxury car rental business and many of the vehicles are registered in my personal name, so each month I receive a number of citations (mostly parking tickets) which I pay immediately and later reimburse myself trough the business. There does be the odd red light violation or missing plate citation etc, but generally you just pay the ticket, the red lights are easily proved not to be me.  

Anyway I'm guessing technically I need to answer yes to this question,  so im wondering if it will cause me any issues on the day, any delays or postponements.. Is there anyone I can call ahead of time to explain in case they want me to bring anything specific?  

Thoughts?

Thanks guys. 

Thanks guys!

Im curious if they usually will approve you on the day of the test or if they send a letter later? Thanks guys got mine on Monday!

Depends on what your local service center is and whether they follow some cadence at which oath ceremonies are scheduled. E.g in the SF service center, oath ceremonies are scheduled every month roughly half way through the month, this means that if you were say doing your interview in SF on the 22nd of July, you could see yourself getting sworn in the middle of August. 

 

Note that there are places (e.g. NJ) where people get their oath done on day of interview. So you need to look into specifics for your service center.

Thank you

I thought we we were talking about the counters you see when you login. 

 

Case in point, my oath ceremony is scheduled for June 12. The estimated time for completion of my case is August 2019.

 

I had roughly a month to study from the notice date till interview. 

Thank you, my interview date came its July 22nd. After that how long until Oath interview?

- Your case can get transferred if you move to a different district or to even out the load.

- I assume you have done your biometrics, if so, yes, the next stage is an interview. When depends on what specific office. E.g. SF has a wait time of ~ 12-13 months from application till interview. 

- The counters/wait times in the website are noisy and misleading. 

 

 

Thank you. The counters in their website or this site?  Yea I was curious what it means 15 day wait then estimated Time to completion ... also does anyone know how king you usually have from the notice of interview till the interview? Study time lol. 

anyone?

Hey Guys, 

So I filed for my citizenship last July, I had an update to say my case was transferred to another office (does this only happen to even out the workload?) - It says there is a 15 day wait time and also it says about 3 months to complete so what exactly does that mean?  What is next?  A letter with interview date or what happens next? 

Thanks, guys. 

Hi Guys,

Long time no talk, I am finally ready to prepare filing for citizenship.  I should of done it long time ago but some things got in the way. A DUI being one of those things, I have finally got that conviction dismissed after almost 3 years probation etc.  In CA a dismissed conviction is the closest thing to getting an expungement.  My first question is has anyone else on here had any issues with DUI while filing? 

What are some things I should look out for, and I hear current processing times is about a year?

Thanks guys. 

Just to expand on the post above. It is 3 years after becoming a LPR AND 3 years of marriage to a USC AND that person must be a US citizen for the past 3 years AND you must have continuous residence within the US for the past 3 years AND you must have been in the USCIS district for the past 3 month before filing for USC. Also, be careful of long trips outside the US. Any trip greater than 6 months disrupts the continuous residency. If you are interested, you need to go to the USCIS website and look up information on filing for naturalization. http://www.uscis.gov/us-citizenship/citizenship-through-naturalization/naturalization-spouses-us-citizens

Thank you!

It's 3 years after the 'resident since' date on your GC, if you're still married to the USC.

You'll have to wait until the probation/parole is completed.

Thank you!

I am just wondering what is the standard time required before one can apply for citizenship after recieveing the 10 year GC? And if your on probabtion do you have to wait until that probation is lifted?

Thanks

Google is always my friend and no better man to use it. But this time the results are wishy washy and I trawled. I also asked on avvo. I am awaiting a reply. But most disposition that came up where from immigration forums so I figured someone here might know first hand.

Anyone?

Hi,

I am just wondering if anyone knows what exactly is included in a final court dispotion? What are its general contents? My lawyer just confused me with something she told me.

Thanks

If you file within those 90 days, then you are fine. You just can't file before 90 days

Thank you.

What happens if you file a little after the 90 day window? Just delays the case a little?

Hey guys,

Long time since I've been on here! At one point I felt I could almost become an immigration attorney with all the knowledge I gained here. But as I have not been on much I forget a lot of what I knew haha..

Anyways we had a lawyer do our K1 whom I am very happy with and would reccomend to anyone as I have had bad experiences with immigration attorneys in the past myself. He mailed me to remind that its almost time for my ROC. And as asked about starting the process for me. But I feel we should be probably able to do this ourselves..

What are some of the do and donts for ROC and what are the must knows etc.. I believe we should file within 90 days of current GC expiration.. So we could pretty much mail it in 91 days before to be in good standing?

As for evidence we have the usual pictures, joint account, credit cards, lease and bills and I think im a dependent on the tax returns. Does this suffice enough usually? As for the section on criminal history, is this only relating to criminal activity since the date of mariage or receiving green card, or period? It doesn't make sense to ask for all the stuff already submited prior to getting married & GC does it?

As for the biometrics is this another round of biometrics different to the one done previously after marriage? Is there usually an interview for the ROC process, we didnt have an interview initially.

Thanks in advance folks!

Ive tried signing up via online, and it is having an issue with my SS number. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks guys really appreciate the info. Any good links on learning how to file taxes in the US, for example my situation, is startinng a company, we are currently talking with with investors and the likes. But in a situations where you dont earn for the first year and a half or so what exactly do you do?

Cheers guys!

Hey guys,

I recieved my green card today!! Great feeling!! I am currently reading over thr "Welcome to the USA" brochure and have some questions just to make sure!!

It says if your a male between the age of 18-26 you MUST sign with the selective service, I just want to double check as this is the first time I heard of this, its also in the brochure which was a download of selective reading. It says this is important if you plan to become a citizen. It also say there is no draft. So is it just basically being obligent and telling them you are available, but nothing will probably ever come of it? Can anyone break this down a little more please.

My second question is regarding extended stays outside US, while I can see no reason why i would ever be gone beyone 6 months I just want to be certain, in the booklet it states if you leave for a period of 12 months or more then you will need to apply for a re entry permit, I thought I heard before it was 6 months so I thought it was interesting when it said 12 months. Also it says if you wish to become a citizen and maintain status "

Cheers thanks guys!
