Hello, I am asking on behalf of my partner, Ukrainian national. We both live in EU (France if it is any important). We both want to travel to USA for a vacation. I am an American, my boyfriend is Ukrainian and must apply for visitor B visa as visa-waiver access is only for EU citizens. I...

An acquaintance who has been a green card holder for several years told me, he reentered USA after spending over 2 years outside. He consulted friends of mine and me and we told him that GC is generally invalid if you spend 1+ years outside without reentry permit or 2 years without SB-1...

My husband has sent N-400 application via USPS about a month ago. It was a USPS (First Class Mail) Certified Mail with tracking number. The USPS status says the mail "departed USPS facility on April 3rd 2016" but the status still spell out that it is "in transit to the destination". We tried...

Thinking about filing the N-400 soon, the form asks about name change. I still have not made up my mind whether I want to change name. Can I cross "No" now and decide/change that at the interview?

I have heard about some long term permanent resident that paid a visit to the local USCIS office (I guess infopass) only to inquire about citizenship process. Allegedly the officer was sympathetic and let the person to take the citizenship interview at the spot, and after passing scheduled Oath...

I am asking this question on behalf of my friend. She got married to a USC & divorced nearly 10 years ago, and she also has a child with her ex-husband. The child remains in her ex-husband custody. She gets to keep her 10-year green card which she renewed recently. Obviously he is supposed to...

Hello, I am gonna be filing N400 soon and as strange as it is I am free to work remotely and moving in a near future as well. Questions: 1) Is there any difference in speed of processing for say NYC, LA, Las Vegas? Does it matter where I file at all? 2) I found this map...

Hello people, I am not Indian, but I am very curious in knowing an answer to this question. In another thread, long time ago, I asked whether US notifies foreign governments about granting US citizenships to people who become naturalized. The answer to that question was "NO". I know that India...

I learned that one is entitled to see his/her immigration file based on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Has anyone done that? Is it worth doing that before the naturalization?

Guys, after you become a citizen. Is it possible to travel outside of the US on non-US passport? Hypothetically, say you owe IRS excess of 50,000 dollars. According to new law you are no longer eligible for a passport. Can you use your second one to escape? Not that I am planning to do...

Just out of curiosity. And maybe it is a stupid question. Does it make any difference which POE you choose? Let's say you live in Florida, and your domestic airports are Orlando or Miami, which you use consistently. Once you go for 2-3 month trip and you enter in Honolulu. Does it matter at all?

I am curious how the computation of partial days outside the country works. On the N-400 you must list all the date in/out and days spent outside the country. So for example if I left on July 27th and came back on August 21st am I out of the country 25 days? Or is it 26 days or maybe just 24...

I was wondering, when submitting N-400 application, what is the fastest application processing office in the U.S. and the slowest one? My guess would be that the slowest will be big cities like New York or Chicago. And the fastest will be areas with low percentage of applications like...

When you travel to a country that has travel agreement with USA is it better to use GC or Passport? For typical example Canada or Mexico. Both accept american GC as a travel document, but also French (EU) citizens get to travel to those countries visa-free. In such case, what/which one is...

Planning a trip to see my relatives in France. I know that is advised to use round-trip tickets with the ending flight on the U.S. side. But: - Is it a big deal if I purchase a one-way plane ticket? - Would this come up at the time of citizenship interview? I am definitely planning to...

Those of you who decided to become Americans have you also decided never to move outside the U.S. ? I am asking because what I have read recently convinces me more and more that the U.S. government simply punishes people who decide to live elsewhere. Please, read this article...

I am soon going to be out of any free passport pages, because US immigration very often stamps my passport with "ARC" stamp. What makes me angry if they put it on a whole new blank page right in the middle. (If you need visa to a country they usually require a blank page) Does US customs...

Hi, I am posting a question on behalf of a friend who is in the U.S. as an exchange student (F-1 visa). He hasn't left the U.S for couple of years and during the entire time he has been attending the college full-time as he was supposed to. About a year ago, one semester, he got 2 credits...

Here on forum, we talk very often about a possible naturalization problem when LPRs "establish residence abroad". Technically, if a LPR establishes residence abroad and returns to the U.S. after a trip even less than 6 months, he can be deemed to abandon his GC. What is exactly meant by...
