    Re applying for Naturalization

    Hello community! We are back for a second round. In 2008 my wife was not qualified for naturalization because the IO felt that she did not meet the physical presence requirements. Since that time we had been overseas for my job. She was granted re-entry permit for green card holders that...

    Application denial need help to decide which options to take

    IO sucks! No. Letter used the word "Staying" The letter is what the word of God? I think I would believe my wife over the IO, to further my point, the attorney that I spoke with after the interview, knew the IO by the name on the form "You will be mailed a decision about your case."...

    Application denial need help to decide which options to take

    Ok got the denial letter in the mail. The gist of it says that between 8/14/2006 and 7/23/2008 you were only in the country for 15 days. He had also mentioned that my wife admitted that she was staying in overseas, which is a lie he asked her 3 times where she lives and she told him she lives...

    Application denial need help to decide which options to take

    She has met the 18 months as far as I know, as we both lived and worked in the US from the time she became PR 07/2004 until 08/2006. And since she has never gone over 6 months when out of country, that means she has maintained her residency for PR residence purposes is it not? So in theory...

    Application denial need help to decide which options to take

    Thanks for input. She made several long trips outside the US since 8/2006 but none of them over 6 months. I am the owner of the foreign based company does that qualify for the expedited status since I am the US citizen? Her 5 year anniversay for being PR is in 7/2009. Since 8/2006 she has spent...

    Physical Presence Rules

    My wife applied for nat. 7/23/08. She became PR 7/2004. We lived in the US until 08/2006. We made it a point for her to be back in the US before 6 months were up to maintain her continuity, she would stay there at my brother's place for a couple of months and then travel back to me abroad...

    "USCIS will send you a written decision about your application"

    Same problem "A decision will be mailed" Does this by defacto mean denied? My wife's interview was on 6/27/2008. She had the same crappy luck. The IO went through the entire process of testing, asked her the hardest questions in the book (she still got a 100% right) he says we have a problem...

The agent did everything asked all questions said my wife passed, but at the end said problem, you do not qualify for citizenship at this time as you and your husband not "residing in the US." This is totally false...
