The simplest way to do it is to go down to the Post Office, get a mailbox which gives you a P.O. Box No and use that as your mailing address. use the apt address as your permanent address. You can change that later.

Reading your case , you should be fine. Firstly the initial GC was legit, and therefore as long as you have kept active, you're eligible to apply for citizenship in 5 years minus 90 days. The second marriage has no bearing on your N-400 because you were not deriving any immigration benefits...

No. You can be a dual citizen but you can only enter the US with a US passport unless you give up the US citizenship. The US does not stamp departures generally.

Yes.....

Also don't forget to mention the candy you swiped from the Mom and Pop store on the corner of the town you grew up in and made a confession in church because your Mom's busted you with your red tongue and forced you to go beg GOD for forgiveness

I guess some of us just revel in extraneous stuff. The instructions for filling out the N-400 are on the USCIS website. Nowhere does it say anything about cover letters, whilst it does not hurt, if I were an IO I will give people who submit one a hard time. These are future American Citizens who...

You have to be honest about your past to get any helpful answers on the board. I find it incredulous that your application was denied on moral character grounds without as much as a simple explanation. Have you been in trouble with the law in the last five years, have you commited a crime in...

Good catch Warlord, that was a good catch. To NewestUser, do you know how long you were out of the US during the first five years and how long did you stay in the US during each year of the first five years. However, if they let you in when you came back then your GC may still be valid. Plus...

I think the five year continuous residence makes you safe. The IO may ask about the first five years and why you were abroad for so long when you had already declared you wanted to live here permanently( hence the GC in the first place). Speaking as someone who "knew" an IO, here's their...

Congratulations to both of you, albeit belatedly. it's nice to be back. Boatbod, I hope your son gives you as many sleepless nights as you gave your parents..enjoy it though..they are gifts from the Man upstairs

Boatbod and FlyDog, remember you when I was active on the board last year before I became USC. I thought it was selfish of me to quit contributing after I had gotten what I wanted. I am back and willing to share. BTW, did you guys complete the process yet, I don't remember what your situation was.

Drive up to Canada. Or fly to Buffalo or Detroit and drive across with your GC and passport. Whatever you do , do not cancel your Oath ceremony. You can get another but its a shitty process

Pay the MAN What exactly did all the extaraneous info about your wife's academic accomplishment and salary add to your question. This is a simple case of "do I need to pay off all my debts to the IRS before I apply for naturalization?". Yes you do. Quite simple eh?

Do we really have to be answering questions like these The USCIS website actually has a map that gives you the address of the service center where the application should be sent if you click on your state of residence. Is that really too much to do?. If you have access to the internet( you...

Lazy posters Another one is the poster who clearly knows what he/she is asking is easily researched on the forum and can actually be deduced from reading the Naturalizaton booklet but choose to ask anyway because they need validation of some sort. Here's an example: I got a speeding ticket...

N-400 and tickets I am planning to list this offense on my N-400 form with the above details just in case if INS already have some record of this arrest and that I don't want to lie on the application. Other than this, I have had several speeding tickets in past 10 years which got dismissed...

What is the best course of action in this situation: A friend came here on a J-1 visa. He applied for his spouse who finally showed up with a J-2 visa. They are getting divorced. The J-1 holder applied for and received a waiver. The J-2 holder is still in limbo because she is getting...

Whether or not your GC is family based is immaterial to your chances of success. The family basis is only relevant if you are filing as a PR who has been continuously married for three years. I don't know what LUD means, but if you have had FP, then all you do is wait for the letter for the...

You're damn right. This is really horrible writing. I can't believe this person has been in this country for 20 years. If you don't want to assimilate into the culture, why is being a citizen of the country that important to you. Spoken like a "real' American.lol Seriously though, you need...

I answered 4 questions: 1. When is Independence Day 2. What country was independence gained from 3. Who has power to declare war 4. Name your two state senators It all depends on you, the IO , luck , how you speak, demeanor, etc etc. They don't follow the rules rigidly if there is...
