Hello friends,
I have been reading valuable information on this forum for a long time. My name is George and I am from Nederlands, I came to the U.S. about 9 years ago thanks to GC lottery program. I got my green card while was a student so I had multiple long trips in the beginning, including one 2-year-trip with re-entry permit. I learned I can apply exactly 4 years and 1 day after the long trip ended, that should be next week!
Questions about N-400:
1) How do I claim 4 years and 1 day eligibility on N-400?
What do I check in the Part 1? "Have been permanent resident of the U.S for at least 5 years" or fill out "Other (exaplain)" If so, what to explain.
2) can I use PO BOX on N-400? Because my apartment mail is not safe.
3) should all trips be listed for the last 5 years only, or should I list everything?
I have been LPR for 9 years and I took one long trip of 2 years which ended back in 2012. Do I put this trip in the table in Part 8? And do I mark "Did Trip Last 6 Months or More? = "Yes" even though the trip began outside the 5 years window?
4) employment, should I list periods of time when I was not employed? Or do I list just the actual employments?
5) all fields that are non applicable for me, should they contain N/A ? Like I am single, no spouse, should I fill all spouse-related field with "N/A" or just leave them empty?
6) Part 10 - Question 7A
"Have you ever not filed a Federal, State, or local tax return since you become a Permanent Resident?"
What do I answer if the first 2-3 years I did not file because I was a student and was not required to file? Do I answer Yes/No ?
7) Part 10 Question 9AB
is asking about group club memberships, should I list membership in my gym for example?
8) Part 10 Question 23
"Have you ever been arrested, cited, or detained by any law enforcement officer for any reason?"
What do I answer if I got several parking tickets, and was summoned for one speeding ticket but had an option to pay the fine and avoid the court? In this case Yes/No
guys if you could help me answer these questions I will be very grateful, thank you
