I would write a letter explaining that. Political arrests are excused. This is a common situation for political asylees. Or you could say No on the form and then explain during the interview when this question comes up. If you follow the later method make sure you bring it up and explain. You...

I don’t think anyone cares as long as it’s not way off. It’s been a while since I measured my height anyway I just put my old one. I’m approx 6 feet tall

Everyone has to go through background check and name checks. Most people get no hits. I recall that my GC name check and background check went through in 24 hours. So what you are saying makes no sense.

@Milani@2020 there is a clear inadmissability issues you would need an I-602. If you have a lawyer who is advising you to apply for a waiver, I would heed his advise since he knows your particular case. You still do not need to show hardship for I-602 and its routinely approved unless you have...

Just go ahead and make the trip. I agree with @newacct . If you have an unexpired GC you will be allowed in 100%, the on,y question is will CBP bother sending you to the IJ. In many cases, they do not. Even if they do, you can fight that case with an attorney and until then you will live your...

You will not lose your residency for sure, however, there is a presumption of a break in a continuous residence that is required as per 8 USC 316.2 if you stay beyond 6 months. I am not sure if COVID can legally excuse this. I personally agree that it should, but not sure how the law will be...

Just like the posts above suggest, the easiest way for your wife is to naturalize after 5 years, especially in your situation

Congrats

Residency is more about intent than about the length of time you are out. It is usually evaluated based on the totality of the circumstances. Some adjudicators can be strict about it and some will not even worry if the trip is less than 6 months. In your case, it seems like a combination of...

^ Yes it’s time to involve congressman/senator if 60 days have passed. No minimum time. 4 months+ gives you the option to sue USCIS if you choose to

kindly do not mislead people. It’s okay to be wrong as most of us are just volunteer forum members but your post sounds like a legal advice which is obviously wrong. Yes the lawyer may have studied law but he/she is wrong here and is confusing statutes. An unexpired RTD is a valid and sufficient...

Yes this is absolutely true. Many of us have traveled and came back with RTDs without GC, including myself. Yes, this is true even when I-485 is pending. Asylum is a permanent status in and itself and doesn’t need any advance parole. Whichever lawyer said this is unaware and ignorant. Just...

If you go to the actual passport agency they will give you back your passport and originals on the same day. However you need a proof of travel within a week to be eligible. However I’m wondering why can’t you submit your dad’s passport (if he has one) instead of naturalization certificate as it...

Do you have a GC or not? Are you from any of the covid travel ban countries or transiting through one of them? US citizens and GC holders are exempt from the ban. It’s not too clear about asylees traveling on RTD without GC as the presidential declaration doesn’t mention them.

I do not think the 30 day appeal requirements have changed for either parties as they are encoded in the laws. There may be a possibility to file a motion to seek more time, but I’m not too sure about that either.

You have a very valid excuse as you are required to quarantine after you test Covid +ve as per CDC guidelines. If your lawyer doesn’t take this up, I would just send a letter to the field office director asking to reschedule. In addition to this, you can even contact the USCIS phone number and...

Late response but one cannot be naturalized until their conditions are removed. some folks with marriage based GCs file for N400 while their ROC is pending, so the naturalization officer first processes ROC and then the N400 in a single interview. They will most likely hold the N400 in abeyance...

Yes some moving violations are misdemeanors in certain states. If two of your tickets are misdemeanors then what about the remaining?You need to find out if they are infractions or misdemeanors. Was the fine less than $500 or more? In fact even if 2 of your traffic tickets in the last 5 years...

LLCs are of two types: pass thru where you file a schedule C or taxed as a Corp. In that case you pay yourself via payroll and issue yourself a W2. In the 2nd case you are an employee of the LLC and not self employed

Employer- Employee relationship = getting a W2 from them. If you got a 1099 or filed a schedule C, you are self employed.
