I would not recommend applying for citizenship now. If you have a clean record until 2018, it is highly likely you will be denied. On a side note, the Great Wall of China is attributed to your country.

Well the Kids from the new marriage are not his, so the likelihood he was married to this lady previously is remote, in fact I did not even see that he was married before while in India.

I think the main issue with the passport card as compared to the DMV license or ID is that the passport card does not show the person's home address. Additionally, the main intention of passport cards is only to facilitate travel by road to Canada and Mexico and for the thousands of Americans...

yes you can sponsor her. The financial sponsor can be your husband or any relative who are responsible until 10 years of accumulation of SS work credits or she takes up US citizenship which ever is earlier.

There is no upper limit for naturalization that would disqualify her. She can apply under the married to a US citizen for 3 years rule or the 5 year rule. The 5 year rule would require less documentation. She can also apply 90 days before she meets the 5 year requirement. Since she is below 75...

3 years of marriage with the US citizen. Others might comment if OP is allowed to apply 90 days before meeting the 3 year anniversary.

Do applicants not confirm prior to the oath that they have resided for 90 days or more prior to the oath in the district in which they are being sworn?

Yes they were sworn in today in the 8.00 AM ceremony. In all 1400 people were sworn in today. I am overseas on business so missed attending their ceremony. They received their letter within 3 days of their interview.

I think the processing speed has increased substantially in Minnesota. My in-laws had interview last Friday afternoon. Today (Monday) they received an e-mail status update that they have been scheduled for the oath ceremony. The next few Oath Ceremonies for twin citiesl are: July 6th - Bethel...

I personally think the officer wants to help her. At the same time, his sixth sense is wondering is this marriage genuine. The OP has not been married for too long and to stay away for so long so soon after getting a green card seems a prudent check to make. I would thus suggest OP provide...

The only problem is many countries such as India, Brazil and China require a paper visa on the passport and it takes a week or more by mail. China is even worse because the maximum length of their visa is only 1 year. India requires paper copy but has a 5 year visa. Australia requires an...

When on a Carribean Cruise the only time your passport is checked is when you enter the USA. Entering most of the Carribean countries they could not care less about your nationality. It is the cruise lines responsibility to provide ship manifest. I have done the Carribean Cruise but I never...

Good progress DrGru. It seems the period between finger print letter and scheduled date has reduced. You should get a file transfer status change soon.

I think this is more hot air by politicians. Very few main stream Americans understand the various immigration status's. Here in MN, they issue a driver's license for non citizens and Permanent Residents up to the validity of the immigration status. Thus, those H1Bs with annual renewals of of...

Good progress Kahuni. If you have your interview by 24th June you might get included in the very large swearing in ceremony scheduled for July 6th at Bethel University that can accommodate up to 1000 people.

President Obama's new health care initiative which was passed in to law last year, also impacts all senior citizens and more importantly green card holders as well. If you have any information or insight on the impact of the new health care bill that will be operative from next year on-wards...

Hi everyone There are often inquiries about benefits for seniors. I am starting a thread where those who are seniors or those who sponsored aged relatives like parents who are seniors can share information. To kick off the thread here is my input. Please add information and your experiences...

I have never heard of them rescheduling. Bethel ceremonies can accommodate well over a 1000 applicants. Last time there were people from 77 countries. If YOU want to reschedule do it through a walk in inquiry at the local office. On another note, what are your dates? When did you have your...

Just for the record, there were 707 citizens sworn at Bethel University at the last ceremony. All car parks were full. Getting out was tough. Go real early if your ceremony is at Bethel. Study the Bethel University map to understand where to park. One can get lost there with so many car parks...

You will need to notify your state DMV for your driving license address change. If you travel overseas it is highly recommended to register with the US DOS and carry their 24 hour embassy number where Americans can be helped in emergencies.
