Yeah you have to be very careful because as you can see being even a day early can lead to an expensive denial.

You are an LPR the moment your status is activated, so yes, your GC should show that date. Whether or not the 4 year 1 day rule would apply for naturalisation is still unclear to me. I remember a discussion where I read that this rule applies after you have at least a year of physical presence...

Sounds good.

You don't necessarily need to send in the old RTD depending on when you applied. May is a bit far, so it's possible they will ask for it when they start processing it, but if they take a really long time and it expires by the time they start, they are unlikely to ask for it. When I applied for...

I came across the Wikipedia article on the re-entry permit, and the visa information (and other information) is not 100% correct. i wonder if anyone here is interested and has time to fix it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Re-entry_Permit You might want to edit/create the RTD page too, and...

Ah, yes I should have clarified. I don't know what I was thinking. This is AFTER she becomes an LPR.

DoS has also delayed issuance of the updated passport (should have been put into circulation in 2016), so no surprise that DHS has also dropped the ball...

A dependent can usually use their national passport, but of course, caution ought to be applied.

For a few days, an approximation should suffice if your physical presence is not in question overall. You can clarify at the interview.

For how long was she out of the country?

Total number of days you're allowed to be out of the country in the preceding five years is about 913, so you are quite safe to travel. You just need to be there for your interview, and if you're going to travel for a longer period, someone needs to check your post for the interview letter, and...

The question is does he have a PHOTOcopy.

Your daughter cannot get LPR status if she is a citizen. So, your first order of business for her is to determine whether or not she is a US citizen. If yes, get her a passport and CRBA (takes a week to get it in the mail, as it did for my kids in Germany) after you apply at a consulate/embassy...

Well, good luck. Don't act too nervous :)

People seem to get stopped and warned, but you're right that you have a case when you're a new permanent resident. So, if the officer decides to refer someone to an immigration judge, genuine reasons for frequent travel would work in one's favour. Anyway, the key is to have and collect evidence...

She needs a re-entry permit (I 131).

Nobody can tell what you'll encounter, but if you're clearly a genuine visitor with strong ties to your country of residence (school enrollment documents, sufficient funds, no CVs in your suitcase, no text messaged with a recruiter about looking for work, etc.), your chances of a smooth visit...

Apply for naturalisation before there's less than 6 months left on your GC so that they don't make you pay for a GC renewal (which you are required to do if you apply for naturalisation with less than 6 months left on your GC). Then when your GC expires you can basically walk in to a...

Yes you will get a passport.

Unless you're trying to hide something (based on your asylum claim), you have nothing to worry about if you decide to go to countries you did not mention.
