One reason for having a very high replacement fee, and very long replacement time, for something, can be to encourage people to take very good care of it, and to see it as very valuable, whereas something with a low replacement fee, which can be regained quickly, might be seen as cheap, and...

Yes, $345 seems totally unjustified, since it takes very little work for them to just review their record, and then print out and send a new piece of paper.

It would be nice if the USPS officer could just see your naturalization certificate, and verify with the USCIS' record that you are a citizen, so you wouldn't have to mail your nice, new certificate. Or, that a photocopy would do, and the passport agency could verify with USCIS' that you are a...

liweila, If you want your case to get proper attention, it would be better to make it a new topic, instead of posting it under my topic, which is unrelated to yours. EDIT: I see you have made it your own topic, so then if you remove your post above, I will remove this as well.

Thank you Jackolantern for your reply, that makes sense. The reason I thought they sent these out is that under "My Case Status" it says under the step "Decision" that "During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the...

Hello, I had my interview on June 25, which was very short and mainly consisted of the test, plus verification of select questions on N-400. However, because of an arrest record from 1989, approval could not be given at that time, but the officer said it shouldn't be any problem. On June 27...

If you can't get a tax return transcript for the 5th year back (2008), will they accept a tax account transcript at the interview?

Are children on B2 visa (visiting with their parents) allowed to enroll in school (elementary or middle school) for the purpose of learning English?

I have also only been able to get tax return transcripts for 2009 and more recent, but would like to try this option as well. What does IVR stand for?

Even if nobody here knows the answer to this, maybe someone could suggest a resource where one can find more info on this, like maybe a reference to immigration law? That would be appreciated...

If you wait 5 years from you entered until you apply, you shouldn't have any problem. EDIT: Maybe you will, see Jackolantern's post below.

I'm a teacher at a private school (not approved by USCIS to accept foreign students). I have friends who are here on B-2 visas. I know their children are not allowed to attend school on-campus. However, I'm thinking if we could register them as home-schoolers. They are in 5th and 8th grade. They...

Hello GlennLibra1 and welcome to the forum! Are you in the U.S. now, or do you plan to travel and stay here with your parents, by yourself, or with another host family?

Hello hazelickes, no, there was no validity date in the documents.

Thanks cafeconleche for your reply. It's court documents showing records and disposition of a misdemeanor charge of obstructing a peace officer in 1989, which I pleaded not guilty to, and which was dismissed after a deferred prosecution agreement. My attorney didn't believe I would have any...
