Last week I and my wife both got done with the interviews, on different days. My wifes's was first, on Monday around noon. It took us about 45 minutes to drive there from the western suburbs. We arrived 20 minutes early, and it looked like the interviews were running a little late. There was one...

Weird! Received yellow letter, says I was arrested. I was not! WTH? Just received the yellow letter today. It asks me to bring two documents: 1. Driver's license. 2. It says "you had indicated in your application that you were arrested. Bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records...

I've always filed and paid my taxes in the past. However, due to economic hardship and loss of income in the last 10 months, I am behind on my 2008 taxes that I am unable to pay at the moment. I have not filed my 2008 return but intend to file it by October 15, and pay whatever I can at that...

Now that I finally mailed my N-400 application a day ago, I thought I'd take an early peek at this "Life after citizenship" subforum. I thought this forum would be all about wild celebrations, getting drunk, partying 24/7, painting the town red, and all sort of things. Instead, what I find is...

If you leave USA on 6/24 and come back on 6/27, how many days out of USA does it count as? Is it 2 days out, 3 days out, or 4? Simple subtraction gives you 3 days (6/27 minus 6/24), counting both days as INSIDE the US gives you 2, and counting both days as OUTSIDE the US gives you 4. What's the...

I know this is a minor question, but in these economic times, and after paying $675/person, one could use all the cost savings one could get. Should multiple N400 applications be mailed together in one package or does each one need to be mailed separately?

I have always filed my tax return. However, for my 2008 return, I have filed an extension which gives me until Oct 15, 2009 to file the return. For purposes of N-400, is it considered a failure to file income taxes?

I will complete 5 years of permanent residency in August 2009. However I am applying for N-400 now (May 2009) since it is within 90 days prior to 5 year anniversary. When filling the N-400 form, Part 2 (Information About Your Eligibility Check only one. A. I have been a lawful perm resident...

I got approved last week (received the email on Monday morning, Aug 23, 2004 - who says Mondays are bad?), and had been waiting for the approval letter in the mail everyday since. I wanted to get our passports stamped as soon as I got the letters, and since I live about an hour and a half away...

By the Grace of Allah, my and my wife's case has been approved. Here are the details: RD/ND: Dec 12/13 2002 FP1: Jan 30, 2003 RFE: April 20, 2004 (EVL, marriage certificate, immunizations) RFE Reply: Jun 15 2004 FP2: July 19,2004 2 EAD's, 2 AP's AD: Aug 21, 2004 Looking back, I must...

Yesterday, I got my AP approved. Does INS perform the name check before approving the AP? The reason I am asking is that I took my FP2 earlier this week, so if the name check has already been cleared by AP, am I right in expecting 485 approval soon? RD, ND, 12/2002 RFE: 4/2004 RFE replied...

I am wondering if a dependant can be approved without the primary applicant? We applied for AP a couple of months back, and they approved my wife's application last week but not mine yet (dunno, might be waiting on the name check for me). We also took our 2nd FP a couple of days ago, and I am...

I last entered the US on Advance Parole. The "admitted until" date the immigration officer stamped on my I-94 is the date of my AP expiry. That date has already expired, and my I-485 is still pending. I recall having read that the date on I-94 doesn't matter as long as your I-485 is still...

Darn, two days ago it was $110. So I am out $55 x 2 = $110. Has anyone ever estimated by the time we eventually get the GC, how much does it end up costing us? For me, the figure is getting close to $10K mark (for 2 persons).

Gurus I hope some of you could answer the question. I just received an RFE for my and my wife's medical. For myself, they want the I-693 Supplemental filled out (listing all the immunizations). Even though I was immunized in my home country, I have no proof to show for it. Wil I have to get...

I checked the status of my Advance Parole application oline and this is what I got: "Your I131 APPLICATION FOR BCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT was received on December 13, 2002. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 969 and 999 days for us to process this kind...
