    Told to surrender US green card.

    But could this be a solution? Well - Canadian PR requires to be physically present 2 years out of 5 years. The US PR means you have to live in the US. What if you have a job say in Seattle and stay in Seattle during the week. But you go to visit Canada on the weekend. Could this work...

    reuniting families act

    I also wonder how a US citizen to be feels about his new country when he gets divorced from his wife after being seperated for so long? How does a child feel when is seperated from a parent for so long? Is that a good way to treat future US citizens? I like a lot of things about the US...

    reuniting families act

    I think this one of the most dumm laws out there. I am a citizen now. I had to bring my spouse on H1B - total stupidity. We met in the US and were married initially in the US. But we needed to travel - so this was the only way. We had to go through different booths as Seattle airport - total...

    Actually I was on 2 trips that were almost back to back. One for 5 montths. Stayed in the US for 1.5 months and then went again for 3 months. As such total was 8 months. I did have a reentry permit but I never had to show it at the airport. But on US citizenship interview the woman in Seattle...

    Do I need to keep my plastic GC with me?

    Remember that since INS loves you - then you can return a favor and just have the GC with you. And you will get rewarded with a smile from an inspector at the airport. It is such a lovely organization. So you would not want to do it if anything for the lovely organization that helps monitor you...

    GC holder marrying B1- citizenship- timeline

    I read about a dude who did it right. Now he is divorced. It was hard to get through being on 2 different continents. The spouse could not visit him. He would sometimes go to visit her but what kind of a relationship it is if this goes on for say 5 years time...... But hey - now he is a US...

    GC holder marrying B1- citizenship- timeline

    Also a good way is to consult a good lawyer. But I doubt he will shed more light then this group. I would also try to avoid frequent B visits. Because the INS might start sniffing. ========= I am not a lawyer and I do not provide legal advice.

    GC holder marrying B1- citizenship- timeline

    Keep in mind that you can always do it the right way just like a good person for INS. You could tell your wife to sat to IO the real purpose of the visit. There would be very good likelyhood of having her put in handcuffs, put into detention to await the next flight back home. But this way...

    GC and marriage

    Once you marry someone in your home country you will get to know the real definition of your home in the US and you will love it. Basically you will find your spouse cannot visit even on B visa and if the country is on VWP - she should avoild coming to visit because INS in your new home can put...

    Expedited Naturalization while living overseas- anyone done this/know about it?

    Well - the company is not selling anything in the foreign country. But rather it employs engineers so that they can produce products that are then sold here in the US. So the commerce is here in the US. In the foreign country there are engineers that produce software, graphics etc.

    Expedited Naturalization while living overseas- anyone done this/know about it?

    Hello, One of the requirements to be able to apply early is that the corp needs to be involved in some commerce - goods exchange between the US and a foreign country? Is setting up an office abroad that helps the US main office in development (software engineering) an ok reason to qualify for...

    CRS - BTW - Thanks for the tip. You are right - my wife could be eligible for citizenship early.

    Interesting question on abadonment

    The key is also that INS can actually lock you up for hearing. This is the worst case scenario and not very likely - but one has to be aware especially if things are discretionary. If they put you into a detention center - you get to see handcuffs put on you. If you have never been a...

    Interesting question on abadonment

    My point still stands. The abandonment is a very relative thing. A person may have a valid reentry permit and maybe even on a temporary extended trip abroad but may loose the GC based on the fact that this is a subjective process and not an objective process. Most people who have GCs...
