Thanks, I did search and saw that we can usually just ignore that. But I want to make sure just in case they insist on seeing it.

Hi all, I apologize if this has been asked before. I really want to make absolutely sure, my interview letter says to bring "Any evidence of Selective Service Registration." I got my GC after 30 and I got here initially via F-1 when I was 20. Is there any need for this? Do I need to show...

Bobsmyth knows what he is talking about. Clause (2) is a requirement on continuous residence. There is a very clear distinction between continuous residence and physical presence in the book so there should be no room for different interpretation there. A scenario, as valid and likely to...

I am trying to get facts to back up everything you have said, so far I have found none. In fact, even your statement of "There is no free ride on moral character requirement" is backed up by the law. INA 316(a)(3) states that "during all the period referred to in this subsection has been and...

Which part of INA 316(a) backs up your claim? Sec. 316. [8 U.S.C. 1427] (a) No person, except as otherwise provided in this title, shall be naturalized, unless such applicant, (1) immediately preceding the date of filing his application for naturalization has resided continuously, after...

Including this for the record as the requirement you listed is inaccurate: The 30-month physical presence rule only applies preceding the date of the naturalization application. There is no regulatory requirement to have 30 months of physical presence preceding the interview. For this, I...

Hi Jackolantern, I sincerely appreciate that you continue to address my concerns. However, it's important that I correct the inaccuracies in your statements once and for all, because others will be reading this and take what you said as being true. The 30-month physical presence rule only...

Thanks immigrant66, you are very helpful and nice. I think my case is hopeless because I make a lot of trips to Canada to be with my wife in the last 2+ years, and I stay there for quite some time each time, only coming back to the states once a month or every few months for a day or two...

Her work permit is applied through my work permit. It's called open work permit and she doesn't have to work (and she is not), it just allows her to stay as long as my work permit is valid. My story is rock solid. Damn straight I want everything my way and that might just be the cause of most...

Does anyone know if USCIS grant interviews to applicants when conditions are not met or has little chance to be approved?

Hi Jackolantern, I know what you are talking about (continuous residence post filing), but no where can I find anything that says anything in the effect of a rolling 5-year window (even though it makes sense). My wife is on a work permit in Canada. I don't mind risking my green card because I...

I have enough of that but if I had to give up everything to start from scratch again with her in this great land, I would.

Sorry I don't think you know enough about US immigration law to know what couples like us have to go through to be together and take care of each other. It's not possible to invite your spouse over to the US if you are a green card holder, at least not within a few years. There is no way I can...

I am considering bringing along a lawyer to my interview so I can make sure aside from being truthful I don't forget anything and say something inaccurate, the downside is of course the associated cost, so I would like to know the benefits of doing this better. What are the benefits of...

Thanks Jacko. Could you point me to the actual resource that says that? The info I got below doesn't say that (last paragraph): http://immigration-law.freeadvice.com/citizenship/naturalization_requirements.htm

Thank you. On the rolling window, I really wish I had known it sooner and I will definitely make sure that is being maintained. The whole time I was only told not to be out for more than six months at a time. Is there a regulatory requirement talking about the moving 5-year window?

Hi all, I got my interview letter last week. Unfortunately, unlike most of you who are happy, I am sad to have received this letter, because I think the interview will likely be the beginning of the end.:( Long story short, my wife is from China and we were separated for close to a year after...

Thanks Warlord. Will having other residential ties help? Such as my own business, registered license plate, lease agreement, etc.

Due to family reason, I have to spend a fair bit of time in Canada to be with family after filing for my N400. I tried to come back to the states at least once a month. What's the requirement in terms of maintaining residence for after filing N400? Will prolonged stay (say more than half the...

awaaz is right. At first I had people telling me that no you can't have two PRs because logically you cannot have two and having one means giving up the other, etc. Out of curiosity I approached the immigration office in both countries and asked this very question. Canadian immigration...
