In NY State, as far as I know criminal records are not expunged, rather they are SEALED. If you disclosed the ACD in your Green Card application then I believe you should be okay however if you didn't then you definitely need to disclose it in your N400 and may need to explain to the officer...

Traveling to the US should not be an issue however if you want to go back to Pakistan then you will need the Pakistani Passport or the NICOP. In the absence of the latter, you can try applying for the Pakistani visit visa alternatively should the need arise.

I don't know a whole lot about this except that wire transfer should be quite safe, you will have to provide your family with your bank account and routing number. The only trade off is that the bank sending the money will charge some fees/commission and the bank receiving the money (your bank)...

I don't believe the Consulate mails out the attorneys but you can ask them when you get there. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs contacts the Consulate/Embassy that notarized the attorney and confirms that it is genuine/valid. As far as the verbiage of the attorney is concerned, most people get...

It is very simple. You need to type up the Power of Attorney and take it to the nearest Pakistani Embassy or Consulate close to you. You will need to show them your Pakistani passport and/or CNIC/NICOP along with photocopies and pay the relevant fee. They will notarize it and hand the...

I think the OP may be talking about labor substitution which I think was an available option at that time. SA.

Could there be any possible negative impact for the OP on requesting the contents of the A file from USCIS? Regards, SA.

Well, the good news is that you may be considered for Permanent Residence without having to worry about sponsorship, migration or other hassles that some of us have had to bear...

What exactly did you request to get this information? I looked through the CIS FOIA section and they ask for specific items to be requested. Thanks, Stoned!

Is there any way to amend that 485 for the OP prior to his submission of the N400? Stoned!

Understood, but if one did not disclose it on I-485 but did on N-400, can that applicant make an argument that they were simply following instructions without any ill intent of deceiving anyone which is why they disclosed it on their N-400 application that has far clearer instructions on such...

So little confused here. For many minor arrests, the defendants are instructed by their attorneys that their cases will be sealed and expunged and that they may claim a never-arrested status on any applications. The N-400 form specifically asks you to disclose those arrest records even if the...

I personally always feel the passport should be carried anytime one sets foot abroad regardless of what the rules allow or disallow, plain and simple.

Wouldn't the five years be completed in 2013 instead of 2012? 4/2008 - 4/2009 = 1 year 4/2009 - 4/2010 = 2 years 4/2010 - 4/2011 = 3 years 4/2011 - 4/2012 = 4 years 4/2012 - 4/2013 = 5 years. Is my math wrong here? Stoned!

In this day and age where security regulations are stricter than ever, with TSA hassles etc, one can rest assured that their information is being recorded whether their credentials are being checked or not. Stoned!

I would highly recommend that you go to the nearest UK Consulate or Embassy and explain them your situation. I'm sure they'll have some sort of solution to help you out. Good Luck! Stoned!

It really doesn't matter which line you take, they'll process you at whatever booth is available. Last time when I landed at JFK, I went directly to the GC holders line. When my turn came to be forwarded to a booth, they asked me to go to the booth where mostly Visitors were going just because...

They must have made that clear now as I do not remember the intention part. At the time I had wondered myself that there was no logic in that kind of rule and that one would be caught in a battle between voluntary and unvoluntary acception of foreign citizenship. I left that topic alone...

I vagely remember this, but isn't there a rule that after becoming a naturalized US citizen, if one "voluntarily" takes the citizenship of another country, then they are automatically surrenduring their US citizenship. Regards, Stoned!

I landed at JFK last month from a trip abroad, Terminal 4. There were three different lines, USC, GC and Visitors. Ultimately they forward you to whatever booth is available at a given time, landing time was 3PM. Two months ago I landed at Newark (EWR) from an international flight. There...
