A friend of mine is in this situation. He and his son received Canadian visitor visas and he traveled to Canada. After arriving there he started to work there because a friend asked him to help out in his business and has overstayed. He would now like his son to visit him because he has not...

Background: I am a citizen and I want to sponsor my sister, who has a valid tourist visa to the US. She is currently in her native country. My understanding is that as long as she enters the US legally she can then adjust her status once she is approved. Then, is it OK for her to use her...

Is there any policy how long documents should be retained and which ones (the way IRS has on tax documents)? My research shows that once you are naturalized, your naturalization document is all you need, but if you get it into trouble for some reason, you should be able to prove that your GC...

I am approved already and have the oath in 4 weeks. I have had a citibank NRI account for many years. Now I do not plan to get PIO/OCI -- will simply get a normal tourist visa. Does anyone know if I can still maintain that bank account in India? A clueless CSR in India that I spoke to said...

I applied in early June 2008, had my fingerprint in early July and still waiting for the IL. Based on what many of you have said I thought I will call USCIS today and try to speak to an IO. The problem is that I cannot punch my receipt number. It does have a * and I tried to call from two...

I am noticing that some of you (and others on several boards) have been able to get through the naturalization process in under 6 months. I am trying to understand what are some of the things that might be helping you and working against others. For instance, if you have lived at the same...

I have done a lot of research in many forums on people who did not work for their sponsor after their GC arrived, either because they were able to use AC21 to port to another employer or were laid off and found another work. I want to find out how many of you have become citizens. How was...

Since I am applying using the 3-year criteria because of marriage to my American wife, I will need to attach tax returns for last 3 years. I have them ready but my question is Should I also attach all the schedules (one year's package is about 50 pages due to stock trades and ownership of a...

I work from home for a company that is based in another state and I use a PO Box for my mail. It is also the address on my business card. Is it OK to put this address for the employer address? What does the USCIS do with this address? If I give my employer's address in another state, the...

After my I-140 was approved and I-485 had been pending for 180 days, I was laid off and I started working for another employer. I did not file any AC21 documents (my ignorance and the sponsoring company's attorneys to ignore me after employer stopped paying for my case) and within a few months...

I received my green card more than 3 years ago and I am married to an American citizen - in other words, after doing my research I know I am eligible to apply now. The problem is the story of my green card. My employer applied concurrently (I-140/I-485) for my green card in April 2003...
