    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    Here are the answers: - Parents lived in California; I went to school a few hours outside Toronto. It was expensive and frankly really unpleasant to fly (no option to directly fly--you either had take the train into Buffalo and fly from there, or take the bus into Toronto and fly from there--I...

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    Sorry, bad wording on my part. That's what I meant. :D

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention this earlier. The August 2007 trip is a bit of an important trip for me because of personal circumstances. My birthday is in August, and this trip was only a few days after my twenty-first birthday (strategically timed so that I would be able to rent a car...

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    Well that date was just what people told me on a previous thread http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?318233-What-s-the-worst-case-scenario. There, I was even more confused and was worried about losing my greencard in case my application was denied. Everyone said that I wouldn't lose...

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    That thread scares the crap out of me, since it's essentially the same situation (except mine is a bit more questionable). And given the office I'll be applying at, I'm almost sure I will have the same problem (I don't think this office has the best reputation). Hopefully they surprise me by...

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    This was the clearest, most wonderful explanation ever. Essentially, I would have needed to provide that evidence if I had applied as soon as I was eligible (which was about 14 months ago). Now, no longer need to worry about it because I chose to stick it out--right? Thanks! You guys are...

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    Thanks for this. I totally would not have known! There is no risk that this would overly confuse them though, right? BigJoe5, do you also recommend doing this?

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    I'm sorry, that was kind of unclear. Here is what I meant: when I re-entered the US after the long absences (which was August 2007 and April 2006), the IO raised no issue about the length of the stay. Honestly, I don't even remember being asked about how long I was gone for. I was asked...

    "Live, work, and/or keep ties" evidence question

    Hi everyone, I finally finished off my N-400 and was just reviewing the document checklist before I sent it off and I hit a total roadblock. A brief run-down of my situation: I am 25 years old, applying for naturalization. I'm a Canadian citizen and grew up there. In 2004-2008, I...

    Residency Requirement

    I do qualify under (b)(2)(i) and (ii). I don't think (i) will help me because I graduate in May 2010 and am only eligible in Aug 2010. Can I use (ii) to apply in August 2010 and then to transfer to TN?

    Residency Requirement

    So there is no way to get your file "transferred" to a different district? To clear up some of what I wrote before, here is the actual situation: my parents live in CA, and that is where my permanent address is. I have been going to school in NY for a few years. I can prove that I "live" in...

    Residency Requirement

    But then wouldn't I have to come back to this district for the interview? I am not returning to this address once I finish that job--I will be moving somewhere new.

    Residency Requirement

    I recently asked about applying for citizenship and got some really great information. Ultimately, the conclusion was that I am not eligible to apply until August 2011. The problem is, at the beginning of August, I will be moving to a new state to start a new job for one year. Since you...

    What's the worst case scenario?

    Haha, good to know! Thanks for your help, everyone.

    What's the worst case scenario?

    This is actually what I was afraid of. Obviously I didn't commit fraud, but I was worried that I would get denied and some record of it would be made, so that I would not get admitted the next time I travel abroad.

    What's the worst case scenario?

    I think I might just do this. I didn't realize that I could apply in only 11 months--I thought I had to wait until I had five clean years + some time to put the longer trips behind me. I'm starting a job that requires me to either be applying for citizenship or apply within 6 months of...

    What's the worst case scenario?

    I left as soon as my exams were done (mid-December, 2007) and came back a day or two before the spring semester started (mid-January, 2008). I then left again a few days after the spring semester (early May 2008) and, since I was done with school, have not been back for a long period of time since.

    What's the worst case scenario?

    Yes. I do have a re-entry permit that my family applied for after 2007 (my parents were admitted at the border, but the IP told them to apply for one). I have never used the re-entry permit though, because I rarely left the country after it was issued in 2008 (just for a few days here and...

    What's the worst case scenario?

    Really? Would you be able to point me to the regulation/form that says this? Thank you so much for your help.

    What's the worst case scenario?

    I would like to apply for citizenship, but I am not sure that if I have satisfied the continuous residence requirement (i.e. I have the requisite number of days within the country, but the length and frequency some of my trips out the country from 4+ years ago may raise some questions). Since...
