While I agree with the first part of your comment, you need to check your interpretation of the statement you quote. It does not say that you can ignore traffic tickets. All it says is that in some cases you do not need to send documentation with your application. You must still disclose them...

Out of interest, who apart from US citizens and resident aliens will not have an I-94 to surrender?

You may not have been required to actually show evidence of job applications, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't a requirement that you were actively seeking work (typically defined as applying for a certain number of jobs each week) and available to work (which somewhat precludes...

It's all really rather simple: * You must show your US passport when leaving the US since this is what tells the airline that they do not need to collect an I-94 from you on exit. * You may also need to show your other passport(s) when leaving the US if they alleviate the need to have a visa...

If that really is the advice your lawyer gave you then I would consider reporting them. The physical presence requirement is very clear cut and your lawyer not knowing that is inexcusable.

So, you could already be a citizen of four different countries - US, UK, Algeria and Poland. (Not sure if Algeria supports dual-nationality, but the other three do). You're spoiled for choice. :rolleyes:

Is that universal across all states? Just because a camera is involved in the initial incident doesn't mean that the citation can't subsequently come from an appropriate law enforcement officer. This is certainly how red light and speed cameras work in the UK.

Don't Indian banks have ATMs? That's the universal way of getting foreign currency these days.

That can't be correct. I'm a devout atheist but also have no desire to go around killing people or fighting wars. Would I not be able to get a modified oath?

I think by far the most likely result is that the OP gets to be a somewhat poorer permanent resident and an incompetent lawyer gets richer. The OP needs to take a long think about whether to trust a lawyer who apparently cannot, or chooses not to, follow instructions that are laid out in...

They interviewed the jury foreman from the trial the other day and he stated that he always thought that it was not the guy's fault. Whatever happened to needing proof of guilt beyond reasonable doubt for a conviction?

Yes you can, provided your interview is early enough in the day (before 11:00 I think). I believe there is also now a satellite passport agency office in Dallas so that you could then go and get a same-day passport too.

I was asked for mine (Dallas office).

As sunny808 said, it shouldn't be a problem at all. However, on a non-immigration front, she may want to clarify if the money she is receiving is actually alimony or child support. Alimony is taxable income (with a corresponding tax deduction for the payer) whereas child support isn't. If she...

Once you have a GC you are free to work for anyone doing anything (except where security issues require a citizen). However, the USCIS are perfectly within their right to check at any time, including when processing your citizenship application, to ensure that your GC was obtained legitimately...
