You'll need to bring hard copies, so whether or not you can bring lapotp is a moot point.

Determination of residency ties for trips more than 6 months but less than 1 year is subjective, and based on the evidence presented. This means that one IO may approve a case and another may deny it based on the same evidence.

Doesn't USCIS have the authority to interpret the law?

Has been physically present in the United States for at least 30 months of the five years preceding the date of filing the application http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-11185/0-0-0-30650/0-0-0-30665.html The resulting aggregate of 30 months is the minimum physical...

On the flip side, the 30 month physical presence requirement comes out to 900 days, and not the 913 calendar days used by USCIS.

I can't see why USCIS would pursue you for not having mentioned a subway fare case at GC interview, unless you had something else in your history. Mention it at N-400 and bring court document just in case you are asked.

They want to make sure you didn't abandon permanent residency status before the statutory period.

The NVC deals with issuing visas to those who have applied for one, so they aren't involved in naturalization cases. You should be receiving your decision in the mail within the next 2 weeks. If you don't, contact an IO via phone or Infopass.

There is no wording in the statute that implies it to be calendar months. You're the one implying the statute means calendar months, and not 90 days. Anyways, the OP accepts the fact he applied too early. Why are you trying to convince him otherwise by suggesting he make frivolous claims? The...

You'll have a chance to bring it up at n-400 interview to clear your conscious. It doesn't affect GC because it happened after interview, and as such you can't get in trouble for not mentioning it at GC interview. It's a non issue.

Total nonsense. An appeal does not require a change of USCIS policy.

The statute mentions 3 months as well as 90 days (8 CFR 334.2). There's nothing in the law that implies it to mean calendar months, so it's clear that 3 months is 90 days. It's not some "artificial" date made up by USCIS, neither does it contradict the intention of the law. Suggesting to file a...

It's not a lack of USCIS resources but a lack of procedures being followed since the initial processing is supposed to catch applicants who have applied too early.

You may want to bring it to the attention of the USCIS Ombudsman, and cite the specific shareholder meeting information. http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/editorial_0497.shtm

It depends on the purpose of trip and how close to meeting physical presence the applicant is. For example, if the applicant applies with 914 days of physical presence, and then leaves on a trip only to return for FP and interview it may raise suspicion as to the merits of the case. USCIS has...

Implications are possibly getting denied.

According to a USCIS stakeholder meeting last year, the lockbox review process should reject an applicant who has not met eligibility requirements. 'Rejecting naturalization applications because the applicant had not been a permanent resident for the required eligibility period is one of the...

You would select 5 year option even if you are applying up to 90 days early. There's no need to have a lawyer file your application unless you are willing to waste your money.

You took a gamble by sending it in before your eligibility date and unfortunately you lost the gamble. Think of it this way: Would you ask a casino to reconsider a bet you lost if it wasn't your original "intention" of placing the bet?

I still don't see how filing an AR-11 for a move within the same service area with less than 90 days before filing n-400 would delay an application since the new address on the N-400 would confirm the move. I also don't see how this could be compared to filing exactly 90 days before meeting...
