Hmm. This could be a BIG problem. Doesn't matter whether you were actually convicted or not. The question is whether you were arrested. But you were arrested, and said no to the question. Well, this could constitute a perjury. Had you said yes to that, and made some explanation, this...

Well, how the hell you got the calculation? Rahul is absolutely right. My case: Got GC: 1996 Being outside the U.S.: 1996-2000 Entered U.S. Again: 2000 2004: Applied for CZ based on 5 years residence, and got sworn. Here is a tricky thing: When you apply for CZ after four years living...

Just in the worst scenario, you can apply for 2 year reentry permit. I was outside u.s. for four years using two 2year reentry permit. But I could do it when it was good ole days. After 9/11, I doubt you still can do that. But, you can preserve your residency by entering u.s. every six months...

I would say that your situation is much better than most of applicants whose name check was not completed. You are going to hear from the INS soon. Good luck.

Well, I'll tell you my story: I had an interview on July 28, 2004. My priority date was March something 2004. I heard almost exact same thing. But not the same. My case was a bit different because the officer said my case was not approved because FBI did not finish the background check. But...

Sounds like my case. Well, the thing is INS quite often schedule an interview even before they process the file. That happened to me. Check out your processing time. Seems like you had an interview before your file was processed.

Wow, that's very very surprising. I should feel I am very very lucky. "My questions to you all the gurus out there are: 1) In order to speed up the processing, should I consider moving to another location within the Miami DO? This will mean staying within TSC. 2) What are the problems...

Wow, really? I didn't know that. I thought I was going to forget everything about my greencard stuff. Thanx! ;)

I received my naturalization certificate. I am trying to find the naturalization certificate number, but where is that? :confused:

Sounds like what happened to me before except that I received the interview letter anyway. I moved when my applicatioin was pending. I was SO lucky because the INS found that I was moved and send an interview letter again. In your case, I strongly believe that the original letter went back...

Well, you can call national customer service. You can also talk to the tax attorney regarding the matter.

Well, that's not true. Of course, filing tax is always good, and I don't doubt that. However, if your income is below the total of the standard deduction and personal deduction, you don't have to report. It's about $5,000 or something. I talked about this issue to my tax law professor, who was...

You're absolutely right. I was wearing a black suit for the interview. Yeah, I felt definitely FUNNY, wondering why I was wearing a suit. Just wear whatever you want. I guess you can wear a swimsuit if you want. lol. just kidding. Please don't wear a suit. :)

I would call INS and ask them. I did not file tax return at all, because I only made $3000 since I came to the states. So, I called the INS, and asked the question. They said I don't have to worry about it. So, basically, call them, and ask them how you should answer.

Well, I would say there is one incorrect information in this chart. According to chart, the interview is conducted after the FBI namecheck is done. As we all know, this is not true for many people (including me).

Well, I think I didn't say much about the circumstances. I heard that sometimes, it takes about four hours to get sworn in. My friends are working on the date when I am sworn, so, I just don't want my friend to spend too much time for this. But, i guess, they are willing to spend about 2...

Ok, my friends want to come to my oath ceremony. The ceremony starts at 8:00 am. What time do you think I ask them to come at?

Well, not really. But my name is kinda common in Asian countries. I don't understand what is asian-middle eastern, but I am from South Korea. This is my opinion: I don't think any muslim name really slows down the process. My friend is from Lebanon, and he got naturalized within 5 months.

Question: "B. Turn in ALL greencards (EVEN EXPIRED ONES), Re-Entry permits, I-94's, EADs, Homeland Security Travel Documents (the green ones), etc. Don't forget to take your OLD green cards/I-94s/EADs...if you don't, they expect you to GO BACK to Garden City office within 2 weeks to hand it...
