I concur. A cover letter doesn't affect the processing of your application in any way. A very organized application with all the stuff they've asked for is all I sent and I got naturalized. It comes down to personal preference. If sending a letter makes you feel good/organized and let's you...

ditto. A covering letter is not required. Completed app with the supporting docs and fees is all that's needed.

Sounds like you're in a very similar situation I was in last year when I applied for my citizenship. I agree with boatbod's response. You can definitely file the N400 and still travel. As was pointed out, you'll need to ensure that you meet all the criteria (continuous residency etc) at any...

Based on your description I dont think you need to worry. The law says resided in the district or state (as opposed to physically present). This means as long as you can prove your residency (via assets, bank accounts, receive mail etc) in the district/state and didn't break the 6 month rule...

It was once the case I believe but it is not a law/requirement anymore is my understanding. Here's a pointer to some related material I just came across: http://www.richw.org/dualcit/faq.html#moveabroad look at Question #3.

Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated !

I'm a US citizen I'm currently employed by an American company. I live and work overseas as I'm on an international company sponsored assignment I've been visiting the US quite often on business and each time the immigration officer has asked "how long have you been overseas". I know that a...

Just go with Asian.

Thanks for the response. The intent of my question really was to see if the airline companies provide the visa/citizenship info they've collected back to the immigration department. Based on your response I take the answer to be No.

On a related note: I understand a US citizen has to always enter the US on US passport. However, if they're a "dual" citizen and possess a passport of another country and they're travelling from the US to that country, the airline will ask you for a visa if you show them your US passport on...

Please read my post again. I dont believe I ever said just visiting the US once every 6 months is good enough. I wrote "assuming you meet all the other criteria for citizenship". Residing in the US is one of them.

http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/travdoc.htm Generally you need a re-entry permit for trips lasting for 1 year or more but less than two. My understanding is for trips lasting more than 6 months they can still question your intent to preserve residency. Given that you expect to be away for...

hi Brb, I became a US citizen last week. I wish you the very best with your endeavours.

Alrighty. Makes me feel a lot better. Maybe I'll get some sleep again tonight.

Firstly, thanks for all the comments. The US oath has no significance under Australian law. In other words, until one formally renounces citizenship to Australia immigration they will continue to be a citizen. However, that is not the issue. Let's say one holds both passports (US and...

I've read thro the dual citizenship threads and am still a bit confused about what happens when a naturalized Australian is granted US citizenship. Per the oath, I'd automatically lose my Australian citizenship, I'd assume. However, Australia supports dual citzenship (with the US) and in their...
