Thanks for the replies. One thing to strenthen my case is I had a spouse living in the US the whole time I was abroad and we owned a property. I guess I have nothing to lose if I apply now except for the application fee and some time. If I choose to wait, is it better to wait until 2012 (4+1...

Hi all, I'm trying to decide whether I should file for naturalization soon or wait for another year or so. My situation is that I got my GC in April 2004 and stayed in the US until April 2006. I went back to China and worked for a local company for two years due to family reasons. My wife stayed...

Hi all, Do you know what kind of reasons people put on their REP applications? Is temporary working abroad a valid one? I have a contract job of 1-2 years in China starting next year and I don't want to lie to CIS by saying I'm just going to visit my home country. Any thoughts? BJ

JoeF and robwoj, Thank you both for the replies. I went to the USCIS website and I didn't see anything I plan to do was against the immigration law. I guess the key is to get the reentry permit approved based on that reason. Do you think temporary working abroad is a valid reason? I will not...

Here is my situation. I got my GC in April, 2004. Now I plan to take a position in China (one-year contract at a time) for no more than two year starting in April, 2006. After that, I will come back to find a job here and apply for citizenship when time is up. During these two years, I will come...

Congratulations fjaffery! I'm so glad that it is finally over for you. Enjoy!

I did my stamping in Dallas on 4/26/04 and got my card in the mail on 5/6/04.

Yes, you need to make an appointment via infopass. They don't take walk-in anymore.

Got the card in the mail today 15 days after the approval. But my wife hasn't received hers yet. Is it normal?

It doesn't really matter I think. I chose "need to talk to an IIO" and on the appointment page it says "information question".

No, they don't take walkins anymore. You need to go to www.infopass.uscis.gov to make an appointment.

Hi all, We got our passports stamped earlier today. This InfoPass thing works pretty well. Our appointment time was 8:00 am and we got there around 7:45 am. Waited a few minutes outside to get a number, then waited another hour or so inside. The stamping process itself was straitforward and...

Thanks everybody. Best luck to all of you who have not been approved yet. Your turn is just around the corner.

Thanks freemind and others, Besides calling the 800 number, I also sent a fax to TSC at 214-489-8021. I don't know if any of these did anything. Good luck.

Anyone went for stamping at the Dallas district office lately? I heard they are not taking walk-in anymore. You need to scheldure an appointment ahead of the time. Any info is appreciated.
