It is one's responsibility to find out and check the date and get it corrected on GC. You are educated and 30 years old and should have done enough fact finding before applying for GC. I am not saying you did intentionally wrong, but to the officer that do not matter. Some facts they verify...

What I don't understand is how 20 cops will come when you are just parking car in your apartment complex and going into your apartment. If you are not drunk, how come they can even try to file charges on you. This is inside the apartment complex. That's strange. Also you went to airport only...

novi400: As a permamnet resident, you have to stay in USA most of the time. Whatever you do overseas, it has to be temporary in nature. You said the reason for your overseas stay is to take care of your grandpa and uncle. To you it may appear right thing to do, but for officer...

Novi400: Can you let us know exactly what the lady has asked in the interview? What's your answer to the question "if I was working outside the States during 2004 and 2005" ? Did she asked why you have been away from USA for almost 1 and 1/2 years? Did she said in the inerview itself the...

Hi, I am trying to apply for visitor visa for my parents. When I go through VFS services web site to look for an appointment, it says there are no dates available. Even for emergency appointment, the next avaiable date is March 07. For normal visitor visa, looks like it may take forever...

This is my opinion. If you stay outside of US more than 6 months and less than a year, you have broken the rule of continuous residency, unless you show the right cause and backup evidence for the extended length of stay (example, you become ill abroad and not in a position to travel. You...

You know when your GC is approved. You supposed to correct the date on your GC, instead you applied early. It's pure misleading and clearly providing wrong information. No justifications. Period.

The residence is where you are getting your mail, paying rent and utility bills, address on your driver's licence etc. Remember to mention the right address on N400 form. That's the DO where you have to file.

Can you tell us how many trips you made and how many days you were out during last five years? What's your longest trip? Were you maintained residence when you are away from US? Rented an apartment, stayed at friend's place or motel? What residence address you mentioned in you N400 from for last...

The Baltimore DO online status indicates they are processing N400 application with RD of Jan 17,2005? How come?

Yesterday when I am having discussion with friends, the topic came up regarding DVD/CD copying. Want to know your opinions. Making personal copy of a DVD (decrypting and then copying) is crime or not? At the beginning of every DVD, it says that it's federal crime to copy or reproduce the...

Not wearing a seatbelt is a minor offense. I do not know if not keeping a copy of registration in the car may be offense. Why it will be a problem that the tickets are dismissed? It is decided by court, not by you. You followed the law. INS is interested only whether you paid penalty or not...

What you are saying is hard to believe? Cop gave you citations, when your registation is still valid and for wearing seatbelt? I do not think cop will be stupid enough to give you ticket when registration is still valid. Look. The tickets that you received will not cause any problem, unless...

You came to live in America, not that America invited you to stay here. You have to sacrifice whatever it takes if you intend to stay here. From the very first day you came on H1-B, you are eligible to apply for GC. Why it took 9 years for you is nothing INS can do about it. It's their policies...

Why can't your husband stay in a motel (inexpensive) for two weeks? If you send a new address to INS, will the interview has to be cancelled? I feel postponing the interview is not worth it in your case.
