thank you ponyo_rocks

Hi, Is there a way to get the travel dates with USCIS which they will use to determine if I am eligible for citizenship. I have a GC for 15 years now.

Hi, I am back after waiting it out. I am looking for some help here. I am planning to reapply for my US citizenship after 9 years. In 2010,my US citizenship was rejected mentioned lack of physical presence. (History above_) Over the last 5 years I am showing as present for 1359 days (going...

Hi, Can the experts please help on this query.

Hi Forum members, I will be applying for my GC renewal in a few months. I was checking to see as to which USCIS office will decide on my renewal based on the below on the USCIS page. "The USCIS office where your case is assigned will adjudicate your application." I will be on work in...

My green card expires Oct next year and I will not be eligible for applying for citizenship becuase of being in and out of the country on work. 1. I read that I can apply for renewal only 6months earlier to expiration date? Is that correct 2. Do I have to be employed with same employer who...

thank you for the responses. On the pt "If you're filing a new I-130 for him, expect to wait about 2.5 years for the priority date to become current. But if you married him before your green card was approved and this is a follow-to-join case with him as a derivative beneficiary to your...

I have a valid green card and spouse is travelling soon to the US on a L1. I plan to file for his GC once he arrives in the US. What is the processing time now-a-days for spouse Green card. I was told since he is on L1 it could be quicker. Is that true?

re -Thank you for all your responses. So you advise I get back and reapply after 4 yeas and 1day? Also, spouse can apply for L1 visa but cannot apply for H1 visa during the time I have filed for his green card as it has the chance of getting rejected. How long is the wait period if I apply...

1. but my US citizenship app in 2010 was not rejected for continous presence as I had sufficient at that time. It was rejected for physical presence requirement for 30months. Are you meaning to say that when I do return for 2.5years and reapply, I can get rejected on grounds of continous...

Hi, My citizenship application was rejected in 2010 as was misguided by lawyer on number of days I was within the country. THe message was that I did not meet the 30month period needed. based on what they calculated I was short by 3 months. Now when is the best time to reapply for the US...

thankyou for replying. I fell short of 3 months in the 30month eligibility for US citizenship. Yes I did enter twice in 2011. After 2010, I have spent most of my time outside. Why would I have to wait for 2015. I was told by my lawyer once I return and work after 2 1/2,I can reapply. I assume...

Hi, I am a green card holder from 2004 and had applied for my US citizenship in 2010 which was rejected becuase of lack of 3 months. Ever since I had to be away from the US for personal reasons and am now looking to get back permanently. I was looking to sponsor a green card for my spouse...

re thank you for the responses. I did not get any warnings earlier nor do I remember them noting details. having said that is it true that some POE's are more relaxed on gc entries than the others. I have heard that sfo,ny\nj and chicago they are more strict about this. I will carry my taxes...

Hi, I am getting back to the US just a week before I complete 6 months. The last time I was in November 2010, I was questioned at the POE as to the reason of my absence with details. My concern is that at POE do the officers check the multiple trips made on GC and track and ask questions. I...
