Friend of mine just won the lottery. His case number is 31500 from Europe. I have heard that this is pretty high number, does it realistically have a chance of processing?

cafeconleche, amazing, thanks a lot for the info ! I am not registered to vote. In my state of Nevada, the drivers license has the physical address printed on the ID. However, on my electronic record I do have PO Box as a mailing address already. So should I surrender the Nevada license to DMV...

If I go live outside of the US for a period of time if I need to keep a physical address in the U.S. ? I know from the immigration standpoint there is nothing to worry about no longer. I am renting and I don't wish to pay rent if I need to be gone for 6-18 months. I do keep one PO BOX for...

I agree with you guys, I had the nicest photo of me you could ever see. What it turns out to be in my passport is horrible, looks a little distorted and colors are bleached. The jumble of text block (machine readable zone) is aligned extremely to the left and down so that it borders the edge of...

newacct, thank you a lot! I am not sure if she can dig all the evidence for the last 5 years. She would never send her ex husband money, instead she would buy clothes for her kid and she would take him for vacation(s), she would take him out to eat, etc. And the ex husband won't certify that...

Hello, I am writing this question on behalf of my good friend who has been LPR over 25 years and now she would like to leave the US for an extended period of time. My friend would like to apply for US citizenship! She got her green card thru marriage, few years later they divorced and her ex...

I am not that sure whether OP can apply under 4 years and 1 day. Somewhere I read it would only apply to individuals who established their residency -> broke it -> and re-established it again. So if the OP never really lived in the U.S. before he got the re-entry permit he might get denied. I...

Hello, is has been over a month since I gave my fingerprints. Looks like I am scheduled for an interview according to the online case status: "On May 13, 2016, we started the interview scheduling process for your Form N-400 ..." But I have received nothing, no letter. I am freaking out...

So I tried to make an early walk-in and they flat out rejected me, because they said they don't do early walk ins. I might be traveling on the date when is my appointment. I was thinking would it be possible to make an early walk-in in another USCIS office? P.S. - I remember 7 years ago I could...

Hi, Will it hurt my naturalization changes if I, as a LPR, have and use a PO BOX instead of my home physical address? I am finding the PO BOX to be more convenient for me, simple as that. Less lost letters, and not having to file for USPS forwarding every time I move within the city. Why am I...

Let's say everything goes well, I make it all the way to the naturalization ceremony. I live on a US address that was provided via tax returns, AR-11 and my N-400 application. I also use the address for apply for my new US passport. What happens if I move after that? Is it true that as a US...

I am wanting to catch a very good deal for one way plane tickets to Europe for the next summer. In anticipation of naturalization interview in the spring next year, could the interviewing officer notice my travel plans and treat me adversely? Is the IO gonna suspect that I want to relocate abroad?

cafeconleche: what does qualify as "back to back" trip ?

When anticipating naturalization, is it okay to use PO Box on all communication? (DMV, banks, insurance, USCIS, etc)

We are on the very same boat. My feeling is that you could try to apply 4 years and 1 days after the last long absence, which is March 2015 for you. So you could try it now! Anyone else to confirm this here?

I think a lot of people don't even know about AR-11 form. Its purpose is to keep the USCIS update about where you are currently if they need to find you for any reason. To your question I guess you can just file it whenever your actual residence has changed. Despite you not being there...

Bottom line, I believe that the USCIS has been incorrect in their decision(s) so far. Unless you have done something illegal you should be approved and granted citizenship. I believe.

Ok I would like to have somebody knowledgeable to confirm that here. Somebody can shed some light on this? Common sense. You couldn't have residence in the U.S. when you were gone for looong time. How do they want to prove it? I thought this is what the re-entry permit was for, that you clearly...

Waiting game certainly sucks, I hear you. I think the statutory period is the last 5 years. Now I am a bit worried too, because when I had my RP for the 1 year and 8 month trip, as a student that time, I had no real ties to America. I guess it may be safer to just apply after the trips in...

got2go408: if I understand correctly you took no trips since September 2012, right? In that case if you are applying under 2 years and 1 day shouldn't the time before September 2012 be out of scope already? I wonder why are you being given a hard time especially since you held reentry permit...
