    Need advice on N-400 application.

    If he got his and did not register before his 26th birthday, he still needs to give a good excuse why he did not register. For people who failed to register and are now too old to register, some civil benefits like getting certain federal jobs are permanently lost. Fortunately citizenshio is...

    Yellow letter not received for wife, please help

    Yellow letter is a lousy half-minded step taken by USCIS. The only good it does is to remind you that your application is indeed in process but absence or later arrival of the letter does not mean anything. So ignore its presense and also ignore its absense

    marathom bombers

    America will sooner or later become a country without a dominant ethnic and cultural group and everyone consider himself/herself a minority. I as an immigrant can not be anti-immigrantion but I don't thnk the trend bode well for America because America is being balkanized.

    have a appeal hearing next week.

    Not really. The updating date is believed to be related to general technical maintenance rather than case-specific. I found out this hard and disapointing way myself since my interview has been descheduled three times. Other applicants can verify if they check their online status and mane...

    Naturalization Test.. What to study? How much?

    I actually believe USCIS never have asked these questions and I can understand the reason: they themselves don't know.

    have a appeal hearing next week.

    What is the online status before "testing and interview"? I think it may just refer to your first interview and the online status will stay that way forever no matter what follows up. And it has just recently changed , it still could refer to yoru first interview becaus eonlien status is...

    False claim of US citizenship; would it tank N400 application for assylee?

    The ironical thing is: There does not seem to be such a question on I485 about whether you ever falsely claimed to be a US citizen or not; therefore the applicant is not obligated to disclose unless USCIS can use that catch all question: have you ever committed an offense for which you were not...

    SEEKING ADVICE ASAP! WR-822 LAG Form

    There is nothing much you can do. If you can provide what they need, then provide them, otherwise write a letter nicely explaining that no one keep those records for that long and you really can not provide them and "beg" for their understanding and reasonbleness. Of course, a lession is...

    I personally think checking is not taht easy and requires tedious manual work

    Yellow letter!

    Since there is no law that requires you to have state ID unless you drive, it is not an issue. If the USCIS IO wants you to show some evidence you do live at teh address where you live, prepare some utility bill, mortgagage document/lease agreement etc. Even if you drive, most state hornor...

    Good moral character statutory period after DWI

    It should be just 2016 (5 years post conviction) UNLESS some thing bad behavior occurred in the application itself that USCIS think is moral charcarter rleated. So prtetty much the only risk you have if you apply now is the loss of the application fee and some time.

    Good moral character statutory period after DWI

    If the IO is nasty, he can come up with many strange questions. For example, the applicant need to tell teh story and say he dranks in a bar in NYC and then got pulled over in New Jersey and that is how the DWI/DUI charges came. The IO can conclude the applicants committed actually two DUIs...

    Mailing my passport to home embassy during pending decision - Good idea?

    If there is no reason, then just wait for the oath letter and then take oath. You won't need to show passport even if you want to for any bizaare reasons. So my advice is: treat passport reneal and your US citizenship as two completely unrelated issue

    Mailing my passport to home embassy during pending decision - Good idea?

    Never see anyone need to present his passport for citizenship. Do you have any particular reasons why your passport may be wanted by USCIS?

    White House online petition: include all legal presence in the 5-year rule

    It is hard to define continuous residence before green card. By defnition of NON-permanency, every trip outside USA will re-set residence back to zero.
