Are you a US citizen by birth or naturalization? Were any of your parents US citizens? If you were naturalized, you most likely met the physical presence requirements. If your parents are US citizens, in certain instances, the grand child can use their physical presence.

yes, I suggest after 30-60 days you start inquiring through congressman. If it goes beyond 120 days, you are legally eligible to file a lawsuit or just continue waiting (If you don’t want to go that route).

Dec - March is barely 3 months. That’s not a substantial delay. many field offices have a longer wait times.

I have been to San Juan several times, last trip being in 2019. I never carried anything except drivers license. I can assure you from personal experience that the flights from Alaska Hawaii and Puerto Rico land at domestic terminals. Not sure about Guam or USVI as I haven’t been there but I...

@Everlyn Unfortunately no one can predict what kind of officer you get for a citizenship interview or for that matter in any immigration proceeding. All of these guys are government bureaucrats and have a lot of discretion because USCIS is a black box with very little transparency and most...

Hi Evelyn Like I said in my previous post, I have personally never applied because I belong to a family of political dissidents and they won’t issue me a passport. I wrote that post for people who may have one or may be able to get one from their COP. I was questioned many things about my...

I personally never re-applied for a COP passport as I was actually not in a position to get it renewed. I never visited COP since I came here even after becoming a citizen. They being said, it’s an individual choice. Here are the facts. 1. There is no explicit rule or law of not renewing a COP...

I don’t think it’s much of an issue these days lol

I had been to Puerto Rico when my asylum was pending. As long as you have a TSA approved ID like DL you are fine. It’s same as traveling between any other place within the USA. They cannot “refuse” you entry as you never left the United States.

Wow man....I spent around 9 years too and had people who came at the same time become citizens before me but thankfully I didn't have any issues with CBP. No secondary inspections in any of my 14 border crossings with RTD or RTD+GC (touch wood). I only had issues with airlines as their scanners...

DV is CIMT so most likely they will delay the case. I suggest you work with an attorney to get any charges dropped or reduced so that it doesn't have any immigration consequences. Make sure the attorney fighting the DV case co-ordinates with an immigration attorney. Things get complicated with...

You can try calling in or writing to the office asking them to re-schedule. But there is a possibility that they might deny your case for failure to prosecute and you will have to re-file and pay the fees again. This is the reason why a lot of people keep checking their case online. Mail gets...

I don't think you followed a proper approach so your lawsuit will be immediately dismissed. If your I-130 is approved and you change your mind from AOS to CP, you need to file form I-824 to ask USCIS to transfer your file to NVC. Since your case is re-opened, I suggest you first do that and wait...

Not possible unless the sentence was overturned or reduced. Anyway it’s a very old post

I doubt they will ask since it’s been 7 years since he turned 18 so there is no need to upload any documents. Just take them with you if needed. However make sure you mention that you have a step son in the application

Communist party members and affiliated people are inadmissible as per the INA 212 a 3 d. This has always been the law but wasn’t heavily enforced. USCIS just released policy guidelines a couple of days ago to enforce this aspect. So yes, the above misrepresentation is absolutely “material” as...

Learn from your mistake and just forget about it. You should have disclosed it, but it’s not a material misrepresentation as it would not have had an impact on your naturalization anyway.Congratulations on being a US citizen

Yes it is a citation and needs to be disclosed in the “have you ever” question. Some adjudicators may ask you for proof of payment like a receipt or email if you paid online. Others will just take your word for it. Minor traffic infractions are unlikely to be a problem. Also yours are over 5...

I find this issue funny. It may be possible to change but may need a court order. Or you could wait a few years - there are people arguing to be “age fluid” similar to “gender fluid”. So now since genders can be officially changed on IDs with doctor certificates I suspect that changing age...

Have you “ever” received a citation means exactly that - you have to mention it. Explanation can be as simple as paid a $250 dollar fine for speeding which would be the truth since that was the final result. It would not matter since a) it was over 5 years ago so beyond GMC look back time. b)...
