Hi, I got my passport (within 4 weeks from the oath ceremony) but the original oath letter was not in it. I send in the original at the Oath ceremony. Called passport service 1-800. They said, it will come separately. Just wanted to check if this is the general norm these days. The...

Traffic tickets : San francisco interview update Hi, I had my interview a few days ago at SF. I had an open ticket and had mentioned about all my tickets in N-400. The IO was very polite and asked me why this case is pending. I explained that I wanted to contest it in court and hence I...

Do we need to resolve/pay all tickets if we get yellow letter ? Hi, I also got the yellow letter from USCIS stating that I need to show resolution on any criminal or other cases on interview date. In my application, I mentioned about my traffic tickets. I have one open ticket and I am...

Do we need to resolve/pay all tickets if we get yellow letter ? Hi, I also got the yellow letter. I have one open ticket and I am seriously thinking if I want to resolve it before the trial date. Do I have a chance against the officer to walk in for the interview without the...

To bobysmith Hi Bobsmyth, This is a really interesting point you bring out. 10 yrs ago when I filled my parents Visa, they asked who will pay for the expenses of the trip. This is true even today. The question still exists on online D156 form - Who will pay for your trip ? Generally...

Visa application still valid when I change from PR->citizen Hi Bobsmyth, Thanks for your response. So, I apply as a PR with GC status for parents visa. When my parents (in India) go for interview in consulate around Oct, their visa application is still valid even though I have become a US...

Hi, I am planning to apply for my parents visitor visa (which expires in a month) on October. If I apply today, I will be a green card holder. My citizenship interview is slated for Sep 1st. I am wondering by the time my parents go for visa interview in India, my status could have changed...

To all those who responded. thanks. Yes its the yellow letter (boiler plate template) that says that I have indicated that I had been arrested. Please bring proof of any issues. Something like that. It actually does not talk about citation but I am sure thats what its intended for...

Traffic tickets - Does all traffic tickets need to be resolved before Interview date Hi, In my N-400 application, I had mentioned that I received 3 tickets during my stay in US. The last one is pending trial (since that is what I opted to do). I received a notice from USCIS asking me...

re: How many visits possible/year Hi nscagony, Thanks for your response. What does a "year" mean here ? Does it mean Jan to Dec ? In that case if someone leaves around Nov and comes back Jan of the next year; how would an immigration officer evaluate it ? Does this not mean that...

Hi, My parents have 10 year visitor visa (multiple entry). 1. How many times is it possible for someone to visit US in one year (Jan-dec) ? Is there a limit ? 2. If they revist us with 2-3 months after coming here for the first time, would that be seen as an issue by the immigration...

Thanks much for the quick reply!! Yes, both of us were green card holders when the child was born. I was ignorant of the rule with 2 year limit until a few months ago so we just missed the window. At US airport immigration port of entry, I am assuming we will need to stand in the line for...

I and my wife have green cards. I am in US and my wife is in India with a valid reentry permit. It seems like we do not have any way of bringing our 2 and half year old child to US immediately. If my wife surrenders her green card and gets L1 visa through her employer, she can get...

Hi, One of my close friend (on L1 visa) intends to bring his spouse in US during her 8th month pregnancy. Are there any caveats for bringing someone pregnant at this stage in terms of legal issues ? I heard about a 8 month travel restriction with airlines but I am not certain what the...

Hi, One of my friends will be working from Canada with a Canadian visa since the H1B quota is over for this year. His lawyer is telling him that he cannot travel into US when his H1B application will be pending with BCIS. Is this true ? Are there any risks if he travels inside US when his...
