    If US citizens sponsor their parents, there is no waiting period. They are immediate relatives. If US permanent residents sponsor their parents, there is waiting period. Hope this helps.

    No, it won't affect on naturalization application, only just green card application. Tell your friend to go ahead to apply and relax. :)

    Citizenship denied

    Bobsmyth is correct. Unfortunately, the officer is right and you won't get refund fees. It is not worth to file for hearing as you will waste your money. The bright side is that you will be able to file your N400 again on Jan 2011, but unfortunately, you will pay fees again for processing your...

    what to explain about employment???

    Since you won GC lottery and you have been resided in USA for 5 years, your application for naturalization is not based on marriage. And IO won't ask you about your employments because you didn't get your gc based on employments and you got your gc based on GC lottery. So don't worry about jobs...

    First of all, you do not need to disclose your red light traffic camera ticket because it is not law-enforcement-issued ticket. It can't identify who is driving the car, only show license tag. only enforcement-issued ticket should be mentioned on N-400. Second, about accident, Did police...

    Red Light Traffic Violation

    Any traffic light camera ticket is not law-enforcement-issued ticket. The camera doesn't identify who is driving. just only captures license tag. If it is not paid, it can suspend the car registration. So it does not count. Like Vorpal said, it does not need to be disclosed.

    Red Light Traffic Violation

    Unless the fine is more than $500, you will be fine. Finish paying fine and applying for US citizenship. You will be fine.
