Hi there,

well, I can finally said I am a US citizen :)

I went to my interview yesterday, I got late due to rush hour in the morning, luckily they still accepted my letter.

The questions and test went well. I explained what happened at the Atlanta airport and that was it.

They didnt ask me for all the paperwork they asked me to bring in the yellow letter but oh well, I wont complain..

After my interview, they said there was gonna be a ceremony the same day and asked me if I wanted to come back so I can do the oath and of course I did it..

Anyways, I just wanted to share it with the forum

Im going to celebrate now

thanks to everyone..

Cheers

thanks guys,

you're right about not reporting it, what they ask for is if you had any criminal arest but me and my wife weren't sure when filling out the application.

Anyways, I consulted a lawyer who has experience on this and he said something similar, USCBP issues is not part of that. So, according to him, I was denied admission to the states but all that got overruled since I got back into the states with a k-1 visa and became resident.

So his advice is as long as I explained that to the officer in my interview and prove there was no moral character issue, I shouldn't have any problems.

Even if they have an issue with what happened, they will not make a decision at that moment.

I will study for my exam and get everything ready.

thanks for your help, I will let you know how it goes

Cheers,

Hi,

I used a paper clip and put all together in one large envelope.

see ya

Hi NickD,

they canceled my B1/B2 visa (it used to be valid for 10 years), they did send me back but I used my flight ticket for that, that's why they didn't charge files. They said I had to go back and get another type of visa (like that is something easy to do).

Anyways, I came back with a k-1 visa, got my green card and now Im applying for my citizenship.

I think I'm going to have to ask a lawyer about this document. I would think if there's something in my record, it would show when we do the biometrics thing. I mean that info comes from the fbi database right?..

I just want to make sure I have everything they ask. I'm afraid the will say something the day of my interview.

I wonder if anyone has had an experience like this.

thanks for any info..

ps. the 1-800 number is a joke because I spent around 40 mins and no help whatsoever. I guess since it's a specific matter, it's hard to get it covered in their menus

Hi everyone,

So I got the yellow letter indicating I needed to bring some documents to the interview.

I already have most of them but I'm struggling with the last one which is:

An official, certified statement from the arresting agency or applicable court indicating that no charges were filed.

The reason they're asking me for that is because I declared I was detained once but charges were not files. Ok, so this is what happened, I was detained at the airport in Atlanta by Immigration and they canceled my B1/B2 visa at that time saying I came back into the country within 6 months. To make it short, they said they wouldn't charge files against me.

So my question is How do I get the certified statement from USCIS?? they were the ones who detained me right? I live in Colorado but that happened in Atlanta.

When I submitted my application for my green card, I had a lawyer helping me with all this. Now, he's not practicing anymore and he moved, but at that time he looked into that incident and he confirmed that there were not files charged against me.

I really will appreciate if anybody can guide me into what to do. I'm clueless about this document, I was thinking on just going to the local police station and ask for police record but Im not sure if that's what I need.

My interview is next month and I dont know how much time it will take to obtain this document.

Thanks for any help,

Hi there,

I got the interview letter after around 2 weeks when I got the yellow letter..
