I have a question for military naturalization experts: I have been serving in the Air National Guard for 18 months now. But I have only 3 years of Permanent Residency (GC issued in March 2002.) Sec 328 of the INA states that: a) A person who has served honorably at any time in the Armed...

Mine is scheduled on March 14th. Please share your experience after your interview. Thanks

Please post.

The law states very clearly. For asylees it's 5yrs from your GC issue date. May be he joined the military and applied under Military N-400?

To my knowledge it's actually more than that... you can also lose your naturilized citizenship if you're an unregistered agent of a foreign government. And also...if you serve in a foreign government, foreign military...and other things indicated in the INA.

Sounds like it's a military N-400 case. Most military N-400 applicants get their FP notice in 2 weeks and Interview letter in 2 months. Also, San Antonio is a predominantly military city. Just my 2 cents

What's the FBI contact info? Phone number, fax number, email address...to check if they have completed my N-400 name check

Yep, thats what the law says. It shucks. Take my word as a LPR soldier who is soon to be a citizen :-)

Dear Gilbert, I have a question regarding the Expedited Naturalization Executive Order signed by Bush on 07/03/2002. My layman's understanding of the EO is that it allows expedited naturalization of aliens and non-citizens serving active duty in the Armed Forces of the US. My AF reserve...

check with your local post office?

if it says just "resident alien" then you would choose that one. But asylees are not Permenant residents.

I think one of the reasons that contribute to the delay of RTD processing time post 9/11 is more thorough background checks. Dont forget the US is at war (the War on Terrorism) right now. And secondly, eventhough the CIS doesn't have any official policies limiting our overseas travels based on...
