    deportation or face state charges after serving federal sentence?

    How would the following situation play out? A LPR--who is a citizen of Cuba--is serving time in a federal prison which "specializes" in pre-deportation cases. That is, this federal prison does not house any US citizen prisoners but houses only non-citizens who are expected to be deported after...

    what countries will a DUI conviction bar me from entering--other than Canada?

    I was charged with a DUI about a year after naturalizing as a US citizen and have pleaded no contest. Because I was already a US citizen at the time I got the DUI, this won't have any effect on my citizenship. And because I'm a dual US-Canadian citizen, I won't be barred from entering Canada...

    OPT STEM extension--secondary part time employer

    Slightly unusual question here in that it is usually the employee trying to convince the employer (who is skeptical) that they can, indeed, legally be hired. Here it is the other way around--we (the employer) think the employee is eligible but they themselves are skeptical. The situation is...

    Will I get a new social security card?

    I recently became a US citizen and got my first US passport. Soon I will need to update my records with the SSA to show that I am now a US citizen. I'm wondering whether I can expect to get a new social security card and, if so, whether I will need to surrender my existing card. I have NOT...

    I-751 in case of the death of the USC spouse

    I'm wondering if people can tell me how typically USCIS approaches I-751 cases where only the non-citizen is filing due to the death of the USC spouse within 2 years of the marriage (in this case, after about 13 months of marriage). I know that when the marriage ends in divorce before the...

    NEXUS card after naturalization

    Hello, I will be taking the oath on Sept 23. I'm wondering whether after Sept 23 I will continue to be able to use my NEXUS card (for travel between the US and Canada) and, if so, under what conditions: 1. One scenario would be that, since the NEXUS card is a WHTI compliant document, I...

    how late does a same day oath ceremony run?

    My N-400 interview has now been scheduled in Seattle. It appears, from others' cases, that Seattle does, at least some of the time, schedule oath ceremonies on the same day as the interview. I have a business meeting scheduled for the evening of the same day as the interview, but no business...

    re-entering the USA with green card and restraining order

    This is not a phase of my life I am proud of, but a little while back a dispute with a former friend escalated to the point where this person felt it necessary to take out a civil harassment restraining order against me. I have, of course, been abiding by the terms of the restraining order ever...

    NEXUS card experiences?

    Hello, Does anyone have any experience with the NEXUS card for crossing between the US and Canada? A year ago, when passports became mandatory for air travel across the Canada-US border, there was an unprecedented rush to apply for passports. I'm curious why people didn't apply for NEXUS...

    emails/LUD changes by USCIS years after I-485 approval?

    My I-485 was approved at an interview 9/7/2005 and I received my plastic card about a month later. This year I've received several emails from USCIS regarding old cases. Is this anything to be concerned about? For example, prior to my successful case, I filed an unsuccessful EB-2/NIW...
