I was wondering what implications are there on getting married after the citizenship interview but BEFORE the ceremony? There is a question on the oath ceremony that asks you whether you got married after. I am getting married to a non US citizen

See form:

Thanks!

I traveled outside the county for a short period of time while on green card. Now I am filing N-400. Do I submit photocopies of the passports I have along with the application? Or is that just to be presented during the interview?

Thanks!

Feb 21st is the due date to file N-400. I am leaving the county for a business trip on April 5th and coming back April 23rd. I am thinking I should wait till I return and file. the other part of me says file in the hope to get bio metrics before the trip and the when I come back I will have the interview letter. What would you do?

Thanks

Thank you so much for the answer. I will contact the court and request the docs. I have moved to a different state since then- I hope they can mail or fax the docs.

How about parking violations? I have more than 10 parking violations in Washington DC. I paid all of them. None of these were cited by an officer- all of them are by parking enforcement people.

Thoughts?

Thanks again.

I am filing my n 400 based on five years of continuous residency residency. In 2007 I got two one speeding ticket and one improper lane change before I become a green card holder.

I am answering yes to being cited by a law officer. However, although I paid these citations, I don't have a record of payment. Any thoughts on how to obtain a proof that I have paid so I can submit it along with the application? and what say on the application to explain?

Thank you.

I'll be going a few trips which each will last about a month or less.

To preserve residency, I'll need to have lived in the USA for 1 uninterrupted year to be eligible to file n-470.

At this moment, I have already lived here for uninterrupted 1 year as a LPR. What if I leave the country now and after I come back, in a month the company i work with decide to send me overseas, do I still meet the fact that I've lived in the USA for one uninterrupted year? In other words, does it have to one full year as a LPR at anytime or one full year right before you file the n-470?

Does this make sense or this is stupid thinking?

Thank you

I am getting ready to n-470 to preserve residency. My company is sending me to UAE for one week period which will leads to other long back and forth trips there. I need to file n-470 to preserve residency for naturalization. I have already lived here for more than one year as a permanent resident. My questions are:

1. Where do I find a sample communication letter as a support document?

2. What do I write in it?

Thank you in advance.

Can u please tell me in what state u live and what type of doc did u send to the immigration?

I live in Utah.

If you search under my name or my name, it pulls all of the posts I've made. In one of the posts, there is a detailed explanation o f my situation and what I sent.

Let me know if you have questions

Good luck

My friend filed I-485 and he was asked for an interview exactly a month ago. He went the officer told him Congratulations and approved his application.. the officer mentioned that it might take a month to three months to get the green card in the mail. She didn't give him approval letter.

My friend adjusted his status through him mother who is a LPR and brother who is a citizen. He was on a student visa. The officer told him that he doesn't have to go to school if doesn't want want.

Since then, there hasn't been any updates online on his cases status. Is this normal?

He made an ifo pass and went to the local office to get a stamp on his passport as he wants to travel. However, they told him that he can't get a stamp because his cases is pending.

What should my friend do? Wait? or wait?

Thank you to everyone who helped me. This was a great place to get help.

This is hard to believe but I received this email today:

This is hard to believe but here is what I got in the email:

Do you mean 8/12? It could be anything, you really cant say anything although you would hope it is something to do with your approval than the address

yes sorry I meant 8/12 for a second I thought we're in September.

Regardless, I hope this touch means something good.

My cases was touched (last updated is 9/12/2010) but didn't receive any notifications in the email. I updated my address almost 10 days ago, could that be the reason why it is touched or am I going to be receiving something from them?

Thanks

I filed I-751 and received an extension letter and I did my bio about a month ago. I need to travel overseas in Sept-oct. Can I travel on the extension letter? What do I need to do?

??

Your signature timeline says you filed on May 27. You meant 27th?

Can you tell us these dates again?

1. The date you sent package.

2. The Receipt Date on your NOA letter.

Oops

My signature is wrong. I filed on April 27th not May

Receipt date is May 7th.

Thanks for the attention to details. I'll update my timeline.

It is May 7th.

Thank you.

Please add my name to the list.

I work for a company based in the united states and they would like to send me to middle east for some business. I am a permanent resident and I would like to preserve the time for continuous residency by filing N-470.

Here is some back ground about my situation:

I started working for this company when I received my work authorization when I applied for green card.

In September 9th of this year, I'll have lived continuously in the USA as a permanent resident for a year.

The company might send me to the middle east BEFORE September 9th.

I don't understand the following when I read the instructions of filing the form:

Please note that in most cases you must have been physically present and residing in the United States for an uninterrupted period, without any absences whatsoever, for at least 1 year after your admission as a lawful permanent resident before you can file Form N-470.

In addition, you must submit the Form N-470 to USCIS before you have been absent from the United States for a continuous period of 1 year. However, if your absence from the United States is, was or will be solely as a clergyman or clergywoman, missionary, brother, nun or sister of a religious denomination or interdenominational mission organization having a bona fide organization within the United States, you may file this application before or after an absence of 1 year or more.

AND

NOTE: Your employment cannot have started until after your admission as a permanent resident.(step 5)

My questions are:

When do I file this application? Can I file it from overseas? can I file it and leave while it gets processed?

What does my employer need to do to support me?

I would really appreciate it so much if someone clarifies this to me. Thank you in advance

Thanks for your help!

I also have added my time line as my signature...

How long does it take to hear back after you do the fingerprint? I filed I-751 waiver based on good faith marriage. Thank you

Walk in biometrics was successful

I was the only one there and it was so fast. They were very kind

How long do you think it will take to hear back from them?

Thanks
