    Please help - confused

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, guys

    Our friend has a dillemma. He lived as a permanent resident in USA for 15 years without ever leaving to another country. Last year he separated with his wife and left the country for 6 or a little less months then came back for a month and left for another 5 months. Now he is here again and we try to see if he is eligible for citizenship. Can he wait for 3 months now then apply? Is 6 months requirement is per year or per trip?

    Please help because I never had the expirience with it and want to help him.

    Thanks in adavnce!

    Thanks so much guys again!

    Here is what i decided to do.

    My biggest goal is to get the citizenship and as much as i want to get them pay for what they did to me it is still secondary and so is the money.

    I will reapply, repay, it could be faster because my fingerprints are still valid (if anybody knows about that?). Once i am finally (help me god)the citizen, i will contact the senator and request my money back.

    And I think about it like that: the law is the law and it does not matter who did the mistake, I still want to get a citizenship as it required by law, and not to have problems in the future.

    It will take some more time but so is the battling with them.

    You all have been so wonderful to my unfortune and i wish you all only the best!

    Hi

    Now that i have clearer head, i wanted to further clarify the cituation. I waited for my green card for 4 and a half years. When it finally arrived it was postdated. The date on the mailer was completely different. Why would i needed to doubt it?

    The officer showed me their internal document from my file with the approval, and the date on their stamp was 1 month earlier than i have on my card. I never received anything like this. Why did they accepted my app in the first place? It means it was wrong in their system too. I have to admit that officer seemed apologetic and admitted their fault, and even went to their internal laywer to maybe find the way around it... But came back and said it is not legal. I asked if appeal would help, he did not think so.

    When i read instruction for filing N 400 it is clearly states:

    "Date you became a Permanent Resident - Write the official date when your lawful permanent residence began, as shown on your Permanent Resident Card. To help locate the date on your card, see the sample Permanent Resident Cards in the Guide."

    As much as I want to get my citizenship now, i heard that the appeal is a long and costly process, i do not have a faifh in senators either. I guess i will have to reapply and hope that one day i will forget about USCIS forever. :)

    Thank you guys SO MUCH for your support and good thoughts! I really needed it today. I guess my 10 years journey (4 years waiting on green card alone) had to have a twist at the end, and i am back at square one. I guess people who work there have no regards to what we feel on this side, and that they mess with our lives and feelings.

    Thanks again!

    So today I went for my inteview extremely nerviuos and full of hopes that this journey will be finally behind me. To my greatest fear the officer told me that the date on my green card was entered incorrectly by some clerk at USCIS (should have been September not August), and as a result I unknowingly filed earlier than 90 days.

    He offered my two choices to withdraw application or get a denial letter. So I withdrew it. Now i have to refile, pay again, and wait another months and months.

    I just can not believe it, how unfair... Why should I pay for their mistakes? Feel like in bad dream and cry. Feel like in a coma.
