Hi guys,
some of you know my case, and some don't. I am an asylee, and I've spent a LOT of time out of the US studying. I have been back for good since July 2009, and I could have applied for citizenship in January 2010. However, I moved to NY in December 2009, so I'm waiting until March to rack up 90 days here first. I have spent between 800 and 900 days outside the US, so I have slightly over 30 months of residency. I have never spent more than 5 months per trip outside the US, but I have several back to back trips (with gaps of between a couple of weeks and 2 months). So, I need to establish as many ties to the country as I can. So far, these are the only documents I can provide:
-Immediate family
-Driver licence
-Tax transcripts
-Bank statements
-Credit card statements
-Foreign student ID card (proof of temporary academic stay abroad)
-American accent (hehe)
I don't have a house or car, unfortunately. I was wondering what else can be provided as proof? Even little things you can think of. I have ALL my boarding passes to prove the dates of entry and exit, but I don't have my old RTDs and RPs. I can't even find my current one, but I do have scans of most of the stamped pages that I will print out and send. I know my case is iffy, so I will write a long cover letter explaining my reasoning for going abroad, and all the sources I consulted before going. I know I have to hope for an understanding IO, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
Some of you have given me good advice on my case, and I thank you for that. This is the home stretch, and I need all you can give me.
