They have 120 days after interview to adjudicate your case, regardless of if they ask for additional evidence or not.

Every IO is different in the information they request. You can get an IO who wants to see all divorce decrees of all past spousal marriages, or you can get an IO who wants to see a minimal amount of evidence. Even if you apply under 5 year rule they can still request evidence regarding your...

Unless the originals were not originally provided.

They have 120 days from interview to adjudicate your case. It really depends on the case, DO, IO , work load etc..there are too many variables involved to provide any accurate measure of adjudicating time. A one time 3 week trip during the process is not sufficient to put continuous residency...

Don't go by the online status since it's not always accurate and/or up to date. Give it at least 30-45 days after your interview to inquire about your case status if you don't hear anything by then.

At the very least, have your US employer provide you a letter stating that it is a temporary assignment and that you would be returning permanently to the US after that time. Also, you should be prepared to show evidence that you maintained a residence in the US during your time outside the...

Yes, you'll have a chance to prove that you didn't break continuous residency. However, it's up to the IO to decide whether the evidence you present is sufficient enough to overcome presumption in break of continuous residency for the trips over 6 months. The reentry permit is only to preserve...

Why the discrepancy in your story?

Schedule an Infopass at your local DO to sort it out. No need to have an active case open to schedule an Infopass.

If he can overcome the presumption of breaking continuous residency then yes, he should still qualify.

An I-327 only preserves GC, not continuous residence. The 8 months outside the US presumes a break in continuous residency unless he can prove otherwise by showing evidence of US residential ties (mortgage/rental for US home, utilities, US bank accounts, proof immediate family remained in US.

Physical presence is only required up until the time you apply, where continuous residence is required up until oath. However, for a border line case its safer to hold off all travel until after oath.

Yes to both. The important thing is not to travel so long as to affect continuous residency requirement.

That's not what I said. I said an applicant may have received GC via employment, marry a USC a few months later and then be eligible to apply for naturalization 3 years later.This implies the applicant must be married to USC for at least 3 years before they apply.

Did you receive your initial NOA yet? FP letter can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days to receive after initial processing.

Yes, they can request any evidence pertinent to your application. Cafeconleche's case was not typical so you shouldn't base your concerns on his case alone.

The denial letter is incorrect. An applicant is not precluded from naturalization if the applicant was on parole during the statutory period. What's important is that parole be complete before the interview since that is when the determination of GMC is made...

It was likely a petit larceny since grand larceny is considered a felony (OP mentioned his was a misdemeanor). That being said, the exact charge, state of offense, possible/actual sentence would be required to make any determination of possible immigration consequences.

Read it again. It was deduced from what BigJoe and OP said. Bigjoe said the cost a plane ticket was inconsistent with requesting a fee waiver. The OP said the travel is for emergency purposes. Hence, is emergency travel inconsistent with a fee request?
