    Need to get facts straight on student deportation

    Minor citations won't serve as cause for deportation. Something more serious will get her kicked out of school and the U.S. Flunking out, failing to attend classes, or dropping classes are each individually sufficient cause to loose student status and that in itself is cause for removal by ICE.

    Misdemeanor with Naturalization in Process

    You did not mention getting an NTA or being placed in Removal Proceedings. The N-400 denial should have told you if you were permanently or temporarily barred from demonstrating GMC based on that conviction. What does it say? Tell use the sections of law cited. 8 CFR 316.10(?) and/or INA...

    There should be a 3-letter port or office code indicating who processed the IV packet. That code should be found on the card either the front or back depending on the version issued. Can you find one?

    How soon can I apply for US citizenship ?

    I think we both already stated that the OP could have filed as of Feb 2012. That said, waiting is always an option for any of various reasons. There is no foreseeable harm in waiting but it is not required.

    How soon can I apply for US citizenship ?

    Sorry to tell you but the above is 100% wrong. INA 334(a) allows for filing 3 months (90 days) early when filing directly under INA 316(a) or 319(a) ONLY. That is calculated from the LPR date (in this guy's case that was in 2005). The early filing option no longer exists for this person. The...

    Parents withholding Certificate of Citizenship and SSN Card

    Did you try to "Self E-Verify"? That might buy some time while you wait for your A-file to arrive. Please don't tell me that you don't know your SSN. That is in so many places that you should have access to that it is a ridiculous assertion. DOJ has info posted here and an 800# Hotline...
