I only listed my residences in the US, i.e. the addresses I had submitted to USCIS visa address change forms. This also included my brother's address but did not include any foreign addresses.
Yes, I did list my school in Europe.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
Hi All
Just want to share the news that after 17+ years in this country, I can call myself a US citizen!!
I was a bit worried about my application due to a DWI I had in 1997. After the DWI, I had done all that the law required in terms of paying fines, etc. And also because I was out of...
Done with citizenship process!!

Did you have to show any proof that you were not employed abroad? Apart from your student credentials? Like a statement from relevant foreign authorities that you did not get any income there?
Thanks!

Hi Cafe
Great feedback. Thanks!
So you did not list any of your foreign addresses. Didn't the IO ask you why you did not list them if you LIVED abroad when you were studying?
That is why I am confused since the question says list "Where have you LIVED in the past 5 years". If I decide to...
Hi Madh4
Thanks for your reply. I never took a DL from Maryland. I used to live in Cali before I moved to Europe. SO always had a Cali DL. I will get a DL of the state I move to for a job and then use that when filing. Taking proof of travel to 20+ countries I backpacked to is going to be a...
""I think your case is on the very positive side of the fence. Your absence is nowhere close to the limits. Your reason for going was studies which is much less of an issue than going for employment. Old DUI (1997) should not be an issue. Do fix your mailing address as soon as you can. Ideally...
1. The residency requirement is just OUCH. The denial is very likely because of this.
Can you please explain? What is wrong with residency? I have never been out for more than 6 months. And I am well over the 30 month physical presence.
2. I am not sure if you are aware, but you must change the...
Sorry guys...i didn't know you had replied to my never-ending post. Today I logged on to see since why I didnt get any notifications. And I see all these responses. Let me digest each one and reply.
Oh forgot to mention one big thing. I had misdemeanor DWI in Houston, Texas with ~ 11 months probation, some fine, and community service way back in 1997 (I completed all requirements successfully). Other than that I don't have any records. I had to file a Writ of Mandamus to get my green card...
Hi All
Here is one mother of convoluted GC app involving study abroad. Only other person I think who can rival this would be the Cafeconleche application.
Received green card on 01/03/2007
Date left US Date returned US Days out of US Months out of US

Hi All:
I got my GC 6 months ago.
I have made a few trips to Europe and really liked it there.
So was thinking of getting temporary work there. I will do all the needful about getting a reentry permit and all that.
However, my questions was:
Do I have to be on the payroll of a US...
I filed WOM in san Diego and I got my name check expedited. I wrked through a lawyer.
I suggest that:
a) Get a lawyer to work on teh current case which you filed
b) Or if possible file a new WOM lawsuit via a lawyer.
However, please keep in mind that they are trying to pass a new law...
Hi all:
Is it possible to study or work in Europe after getting a green card while maintaining your gren card status by applying for a reentry permit?
Your comments will be appreciated.

All:
I saw this thread on another website. This could be cause for concern for people looking to Writ of Mandamus as remedy to get out of namecheck black hole for green card or for citizenship.

Why should we wait till one year? Because that is what was the general period that was "considered" to be normal almost an year ago. Some people ask why to wait for one year if 485 processing period is ~ 6 months. But USCIS typically takes the stand that namecheck process is indpendent of 485...
