I tried doing that today in chicago and was flat out refused. The guy at the front said they were "short staffed", when the whole office was empty. To make matters worse my car was also towed from the lot:mad:

The full article Check out the full text America's Loss is the World's Gain: America's New Immigrant Entrepreneurs, Part 4 http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1348616 Interesting. Maybe we should have a poll on this in the forums just for heck of it :)

Thanks a lot Cregan, So if I file these now, will it hold for the IO that I had filed taxes for those years 2006 and 2007. I would be filing these with income "0" as I am a student. Do the local offices accept past due tax returns. The IRS website says to mail them into Atlanta.

I did not file my 2006-2007 return because I had no income. Can I file it now using the Prior/Past Due Years forms available on http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=174264,00.html Will this be valid for naturalization purposes ?

What does a lawyer mean when he says he will provide a legal briefing to the IO during the interview ? What are the advantages/drawbacks of having a lawyer present at the interview ?

that's one huge setback for you: Does being rejected for inadequate physical presence adversly affect you the next time you apply.

what is recommended for that ? Unfortunately I havent filed tax so far (just turned 21). Am a student. My license was the older one was well, with the previous address. And I didnt rent an apartment in my name. used to live with my brother when I used to come here.

thanks thanks for that advise. I am currently in the US and intend to do these to establish residency. ( I plan to apply in June 09) 1. get a florida state drivers license. 2. Get car insurance 3. Cosign a lease for an apartment with my brother who lives in the florida district where I...

lawyer hi, Now if I were to engage a lawyer for this application, how would it help me? Also if anyone has gone through a lawyer would you happen to know what the approximate cost is ?

4 yr 9 mo or 5 yr Hi, My GC was issued in aug 03 but I resided in the US since may 04. Am I eligible to file the application in March 09 under the 4 yr 9 months rule or do I have to wait the full 5 years ? I didnt take a rentry permit and have physically stayed in the US for 36 months with...

on a similar note Hi, On a similar note, what steps can one take to demonstrate the intent to preserve residence. I had one trip of 185 days. Being a student I dont have any income so havnt filed any taxes. I do have a bank account though.

Query on N400 Do I have to be physically present in the US from the time of filing N400 till the interview date ? (besides for FP of course) Is there any rule that I cannot travel out of the US till the time of Interview or Oath ?

thanks for the reply. If your application is denied at the interview stage for this reason (out for >6months) does it negatively affect the next time you apply ?
