They really won't care about your business. They might care about you lying about it though.

A good rule of thumb to live by is...don't lie to USCIS. Nothing good can ever come from it.

What kind of questions are you expecting about your business? As long as you're paying taxes I can't imagine them caring much.

You did tell them you were married on the N-400 didn't you?

At your interview they will ask if everything on the N-400 is correct, that is when you need to tell them about your business.

no,its not on my application...

Why not? It asks you to list your employment.

Im married,and the business its far away from the state I live...So I didnt mention ab it...

I still don't understand what state your business is in has to do with anything. It's your business, no matter where it's located. Even if it were in another country it would still be your business and you would be earning an income and paying taxes on it.

If they ask you about it you're going to have to tell them the truth because it's on your N-400 under the employment section.

And what does what state it's in have to do with anything?

Can the FBI really solve 80 year old cases with finger prints using the dust method. So why can they store electronically obtained finger prints for three years? 240 bucks and 1,350 miles of driving for the same set of finger prints over that three year period.

Biometrics are done to make sure it's the right person applying for an immigration benefit. It's been known for legal residents to return to their own country and allow a family member to take on their identity. Fingerprinting prevents that.

No, same form.

That link is a private company which will charge you to file, it not a US government website. The N-400 must be mailed off with all supporting documentation.

The relevent date on your Green Card will be the one that says Resident Since. My Green Card doesn't have a date of entry on it.

**Edit - The bottom number doesn't work for me (I put the $)

It only worked for me if I changed the $ to *

My NOA1 also has two different numbers in the places you describe, I hadn't noticed that before. I put in the number at the top and it says that they sent out my biometrics notifcation on 3rd May, which I have received. When I put in the number on the bottom left it says that they sent out biometrics notifaction on 6th May. I haven't received that one.

Weird.

The number bottom left has a $ in place of the * so it's not quite an application number.

Ok so let me get this straight. My third anniversary is july 7th. Does this mean I won't get interviewed until or after then?

You can be interviewed before then but you won't get an official approval until after that date.

How long the whole process takes will depend on your Field Office, not the place you send your application. You'll need to look that up, I suggest you use Google.

It will be faster by however many days it gets there quicker...probably about 3.

Your 'Resident Since' date will be on your new card.

Yes, you can apply 90 days prior to your 3 year date. Everything you need to know can be found in the N-400 instructions here http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/n-400instr.pdf

Your PR date is on your Green Card. The Immigration Timelines link can be found at the top of this page.

3-6 months is probably about right for most people, but it's no guarantee. You can apply 3 years from the date you became a PR minus 90 days.

ETA. You can check out the timelines on here to see how long other people took.

Anyone can be called for jury duty, not just US citizens. If you do get called and you're not a US citizen you need to inform the court that do not qualify for jury duty. What you can't do is ignore the summons, which your girlfriend appears to have done.

Having said that I have no idea what will happen to her regarding her immgration status at her court hearing. Does she have a lawyer?

I'm not the OP, but I can answer your question. It's very easy, just go here...

What makes you think you have to wait until December to apply for naturalization? If you've had your green card since March 2008 you could have applied by now.

My ACS didn't search anyone, so I could have had it in my purse.

Agree with only sending in what the N-400 asks for, N-400, copy of green card, two passport type photos, and most important, that check.

You also need to send in what the M-477 checklist asks for, which includes divorce decrees if you've ever been married. It doesn't ask for divorce petitions though.

I feel like that kid in the high school cafeteria not allowed to sit with the cool kids!

Are you saying us April filers are not cool kids?

You only need to include what you're asked for...which is the decree.

Who are these people that received RFEs for their complaint/petition?

I believe they have no problem interviewing people before their 3/5 year anniversary, but if they do they don't approve it until the anniversary date. You definitely can't take your oath before then.
