Wow.Really!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did you get this info that people who work on H1 Visas don't pay taxes????? Also, they can't file for Green Card on their own until their employer sponsors one. The wait time is 12-15 years and in some cases more than that.

Anytime. Even on a tourist visa in theory.

Really??

I am confused about this:Does the time period of being a Green card holder considered in the 5 year requirement Or is it 5 years after becoming a citizen?

I am a male and I recently became a citizen.I was nturalized last month on the 28th. I got my green card thru approed VAWA in 2014. Thank you people on this forum.

Finally the journey is over. I became a citizen yesterday.Applied for the passport getting it today. Wishing luck to everyone else. Thank you all.

I haven't been scheduled yet! How much longer this thing is going to take? 

I received my notification for Oath Scheduled a week after i was in line. Nov 28th.

Oath scheduled Nov28th..:-)

Status update: Oath is scheduled. Can i call USCIS and find out the date and time?

 I am also in line. I am not sure but the message does stat that once approved within 45 days we should be scheduled. Don't know if that's true or not..;-)

I was warned by the IO in San Antonio that is could be 2 months before I hear anything about the Oath Ceremony.

Sometimes the online status never changes - best we can do at this time is to be patient.

Did your N 652 also state a decision can not be made?

1 week since my Interview and the status has not changed...

Want to hear from People whO had their Interview at San Jose Field office and received decision can't be made. How long after that did it take them to schedule Oath?

I would not be too worried about that. People make mistakes in recalling dates. I don't think the government would consider this material misrepresentation unless they have clear evidence that you willfully provided the wrong year in an attempt to cover up something that would have disqualify you from being naturalized. 

 

For example: In 2015 your employer was engaged in terrorist activities and all employees working at a particular branch (your branch) knew that their jobs involved helping terrorist but did nothing about it and continued working. You were an employee at the branch in question in 2015 ...you knew and should have been prosecuted.

 

By January 1,  2016 your employer was no longer deemed a threat because everyone known to have been involved in the terrorist activities were prosecuted at the end of December 2015.

 

Using the  year 2016 instead of 2015 in a situation like that is a big deal.

 

Extreme example but I wanted to drive home the point.

 

Let's see what your lawyer say.

Thank you for the answer. I just got off the phone with him and he states not to worry. He asked did they ask you about it. I said yes she did and i mentioned to her the first job is the place where i learned the business and the 2 nd job is the place which was owned by my current business partner. He said not to worry as its a typo error. you did not hid anything about it. Worst case they may ask for an explanation and we will let them know.

I am not sure but i am waiting for my attorney's office to open to get a confirmation. However in the mean time this is what happened:

I went for my Interview on Oct 11th. Update my travel with the officer during the Interview. Yesterday i was going thru my N400. I think i made an Error and did not correct it at the Interview. On the Employment section i did mention the Employers with the date and month but i think the year was wrong. Instead on 2015 i think its 2016 on the application. I am still waiting for the attorney office to open to confirm as i did make some corrections before he sent the application out. I am freaking out as the office may deny the N400 based on material misrepresentation. I did submit my 2015 tax returns and it showed i got w2s from 2 companies and for the rest of the year I had my K1s. Should i be worried?

Same thing happened to me, just like private ones case. Only that my interview was on aug 30, got the “a decision cannot be made” and then on sep 18 got the oath letter which was scheduled for oct 4. They didn’t update my status online until a couple of days ago. I would advise u to wait on your trip and take it once you are done with the oath. Otherwise u might miss ur oath if you cannot check your mailbox. 

i think i will do that...Thank you

Yes. I also received my N652 with "decision cannot be made" box checked off. My online status stayed the same after I did the interview (09/12). It never went to "in line for oath". I received the oath letter about a week later. I took the oath on 09/27. My online status changed two days ago to "oath letter was mailed". 

hmmm.. Now you made it more confusing for me. I was planning to take a trip back home next week for a month. I planned on coming back once i get email notification with case update. As you stated you never received case update and got the mail. I dont want a situiation like that lol.. looks like i will have to cancel the trip ...

Hello private one,

i checked my online status and it says that I have been placed in queue for oath ceremony. Can I assume that my n400 has been approved by the IO? My n652 says decision will be mailed, and I haven't received any mail from Uscis yet. What do you think? Thanks 

Hi did you also receive N652 with decision can not be made? How long did it take after that for your status to show inline for oath? Do let me now. thanks

Wow how many times have you been out of country? It makes me nervous now. I came back home couple times already for visiting my parent. It will be really annoyed if they think it is big concern. Good luck to you and me 🤞

I have taken 7 trips in the last 3 years. 3 back home and 4 to Netherlands. I just received an email Post decision activity assigned to Supervisor. Is that the next stage?

Here's a shocker - I got through the entire process (including AOS) without submitting tax document. My wife and I always file taxes separately  because it gets her lower student loan monthly payments. However, I walked with 3 years of transcripts for the both of us because I was certain they would ask...my interviewing IO didn't. As a matter of fact she only took updated bank statements spanning from the time conditions on my GC was lifted up to the interview. She said my "file was thick enough". Other people have reported similar stories about additional documents as well. I see you did not mention bank statements...I would advise that you walk with at least one year's worth. You should also walk with originals of the copies you submitted (eg. marriage certificate). I did that but like I said, she was only interested in updated bank statements. 

 

I did not walk with the 2 photos and she asked if had any. 

 

Good Luck!

Well, if you passes the civic, reading and writing, you should be fine. But I know how frustrating that result can be. Fingers crossed you get your oath letter soon. 

thank you

I did my Interview today. Passed the civic, written and writing test. The IO said everything looks perfect and handed me the N652 decision can't be made. She stated she needs to run thru her supervisor. I had taken a trip after filing the papers but i mentioned it to her. She made it on the file and check my passport. Jokingly says you like going to Netherlands a lot...lol. Any particular reason. I said my younger brother lives there. lol.  She said i should wait for the update in the mail. Again another delay..ggrr

The reason i don't have the bank statements because i am not married. My N400 is based on approved VAWA.

People who have already attended their Interview . Can you please check and let me know if i am missing anything:

1) 2 Photograph

2) 3 Years Tax transcript. ( I have only 2 but i have paid the Taxes for last year. Hopefully it will show no dues by Oct 10th). I have the receipts showing the payment. Will that help?

3) Front and back of the green card.

4) I had a traffic ticket which my lawyer said not to worry. It was already  paid . $367. Should i disclose it at the Interview.

5) Will take the addendum of my Travel history after N 400 was filed.

6) Divorce decree.

Please let me know if i am missing anything?

Thank you
