It is not uncommon for the CBP officer to indicate on a permanent resident's passport how long he/she was away. Were you out of the US for a month, perhaps?

You are not required, by law, to inform the CIS that you have availed yourself of the provisions of AC21. You may be questioned about your employment history at the time of your citizenship interview but as long as all of your paperwork is in order, you should be fine.

I parsed through all the verbiage in the following CBP page and arrived at the conclusion that even after January 23, 2007, permanent residents, who have been outside the US for less than a year, will be able to enter the US with just their green cards and that the part about a passport being...

Man, talk about cutting it really fine! I think your wife is okay. I don't think she needs an attorney unless she receives a notice from the USCIS informing her that she has failed to "remove the conditions." If she receives that notice, she will also receive a "Notice to Appear" at a hearing...

I meant to write that the B-1 visa would be easier to justify. I have edited my previous post to reflect this. If you sponsor your mother's helper for a B-2, the nature of the relationship between you and her and eventually between your mother and her is bound to come up during the interview. I...

True but there are more requirements of the citizen parent. Sec. 301 (g) applies in this case and it states that the following person is a citizen: Things are a lot simpler when both parents are US citizens.

I believe, your child will enter the US as a permanent resident and will receive an I-551 stamp on his/her passport and that you will file his/her I-90 then and there or soon thereafter. Once you have done this, you can go back to Canada and then return to the US after you are done with your...

I take it that the child will be born only after your wife acquires US citizenship.

Since the statute does not explicitly mention citizenship, the current interpretation is that either parent needs to have merely resided in the US at some point in his/her life. At any rate, assuming that you were naturalized in the US, you would still meet the narrower interpretation since the...

No, they are not required to.

No, I haven't.

It has to be either your first trip back to the US or your husband's. To my knowledge, there is no wiggle room here.

According to Sec. 301 (c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act the following person is a US citizen: Since you were naturalized, you would have had to meet the residency requirement. Your spouse does too but that is besides the point. You should apply for a Consular Report of Birth...

Visiting Puerto Rico should be no different from visiting any other place in the US. By all means carry your green card with you and, if you want to be extra careful, your re-entry permit and passport.
