    Calculating number of days outside US

    Obviously NO. Why would you? Too many people here trying to be "too honest", answer your questions accurately but don't be "too honest" or too forthcoming thinking they will think "oh he's such a great guy he even erred on the side of putting himself at an advantage." Because this is not some...

    Claimed to be US Citizen

    I agree with what your saying and had she written that it is one thing, but this is what she wrote: “The reason I said I was a US Citizen was because it was less complicated. It was verbally and not on paper.” It's about the most open to interpretation, least clarifying thing anyone could...

    Stayed out of US for more than 6 months

    More than 5 years ago? Not even an issue. N-400 doesn't even ask about trips more than 5 years ago. Use your common sense and don't disclose anything more than 5 years ago. I hate to be so harsh, but I read here or some other forum someone disclosed that they claimed US citizenship before...

    Couple of quick questions

    I came back from a visit to Montreal and I noticed they didn't even stamp my passport. But it was before the new FP rules.

    Green Card Renewal previous felony

    First thing to do. Go to the court where this was decided and get the certificate of disposition and all other papers related to your case. I just read that you basically have to plead "no contest" to get a CWOF. So you need to take those papers to a good criminal attorney and see what can be...

    I-90 Fingerprint and "match warning"

    When I went for my FP appointment the screen showed the words "match warning" in a red box. I researched this and it is basically nothing. Just a warning to the person taking the fingerprints that the fingerprints don't match the first impression with all 5 fingers. It means nothing bad...

    Again thank you very much jackolantern. The appointment was the most pleasant government office visit I have ever had. I walked in, filled out a form and immediately saw someone who checked my GC + Appt letter + form I just filled out (the form has nothing you didn't already fill out: name...

    Re: Registered Marijuana user in California - Is it a problem?

    Well I believe you are wrong about whether the USCIS is concerned about you using marijuana. It very clearly says if the officer even has a reason to believe you are habitual user or addict of drugs or even alcohol they can make you inadmissible...

    Claimed to be US Citizen

    I agree, but the explanation she provided doesn't make sense and is open to interpretation in a hundred ways. Odd that she would go out of her way to disclose a claim of citizenship in a CASUAL conversation and then when asked to write a statement she writes a nearly unintelligible line that...

    Claimed to be US Citizen

    This is the best advice I have read. This statement needs to be stickied right here on this site. I cannot tell you many parents are clueless and they want to "go back" even before they have naturalized or taken care of their children's naturalization.

    Claimed to be US Citizen

    I agree. It can't hurt. In the meantime she would be advised to find a good trustworthy lawyer. I'll bet even most lawyers will not have much experience with this sort of case. But they should have enough knowledge to work it out.

    leaving country during N400 application

    The oath. After that go where you want. Why do you bother asking opinions if you want to keep asking until you get the answer you want? I could easily give you the answer you want and mislead you if you want me to. Spend 2 good hours reading some naturalization law and you'll see for...

    Going back to India

    In India the group mentality is so perverse. Social standing is a very important thing, you see how people are committing suicide in false 498a cases even when they did nothing wrong but the very fact that they are being charged causes such a loss of face that they can't bear it. My friend who...

    Thanks so much for your help! I had an unscrupulous lawyer try to scare into thinking they could arrest me, detain me and place in deportation proceedings since it involves a substance. He flat out lied to me to extort a nice 4 figure sum to come to the appointment with me. There should be a...

    Going back to India

    But once you have a GC why would you go back and put your children back into that disadvantage of fighting for every little opportunity? Some people do that. They want to have the child in India, then they don't get citizenship because they feel India is their motherland. So a GC holding parent...

    Going back to India

    I don't know, it came in a search on another topic, and I had a strong opinion based on the personal experience of myself and my family and I just wanted to put out there what I learned. I really have some resentment, frankly, for people who have this "dream world" vision of their home land...

    How to Report "Adjourned in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD)" case on N-400 Form?

    Based on newer research I did I (but I'm not a lawyer and really know nothing) it would appear you are correct. Many times an ACD is given even when the defendant enters a guilty plea and actually committed a crime and the facts reflect that (petty larceny etc.). In this case technically they...

    Travel with I-551 stamp

    Thanks for your answer. In my case I have a little incident that I assume they will know about even at the I-90 appointment. Will that have an effect? I was actually scared a lot by a lawyer who wanted a good sum of money from me, that they could actually arrest me at the I-90 appointment...
