When re-entering the US at land crossing. Were you asked how long you were absent type of questions, where do you live etc? Did the US immigration officer swipe green card?

No passport needed? Your case might be diffierence since you drive across the border but we are going to take shuttle bus reentering. Does anybody have recent experience coming back to the US from Vancouver by bus?

We are thinking of taking shuttle bus back and forth between Seattle and Vancouver. Does anybody have experience with it lately? Other than green card and passport, anything else? Any other proof of our departure timeframe from the US? e.g. credit card bills and bank statement etc? We had...

Does anybody have any recent experience re-entering the US from Vancouver back to Seattle as green card holder? My husband and I are both PR and would like to take a short trip to Canada from the US in a few weeks. What is likely to happen at the US border? Will we go through the same...

I guess the situation will depend on how the interviewing officer treat my situation. Where can I obtain the Affidavit of Support form? My dad will be more than happy to sign it for me. Many people are curious why I haven't found anything during the past 5 years. All I can tell you is...

Understanding that if one has no job nor studying on schedule, the interviewing officer may ask for Affidavit of Support from the sponsoring party during the naturalization interview. What if my dad who has been sending me money on a regular basis for 5 years? He did not sign any Affidavit...

what happen if you got laid off and have NOT worked at all during the five subsequent year as a young man/girl. You have the financial support from family. Would that raise a red flag?

I only have one parking ticket in my life, any need to mention it on N400 form or during the interview?

Thanks JoeF, how about the job market in CA then? If only people are as friendly and frank as JoeF. Anyway, this is not a political fighting forum. It is a place where people, particularly new immigrants/non-immigrants share and exchange ideas. So please be nice to people, thanks.

There has been some discussions on which state is good for relocation after getting green card. May I have anybody sharing with me on whether California is good for relocation. While we all understand that it is an expensive place to be in (especially bay area), are there any other factors...

Well, using his passport to enter as visitor will cut off his hope to rescue his GC status completely. BCIS will view this as a voluntary abandoning of his green card. If he still wants to hang on to his P.R. status, he should first try with the return resident visa.

Well, if you maintained your ties with the US during your 1+ year absence, you may still apply for a returning resident visa from the overseas consulate and enter the US on P.R. status without losing it. Additionally, if you have applied for a re-entry permit before leaving the US, that will...

Now, an important question here--if you'd like to bring your baby born overseas as a PR, do you need to obtain any documents/certified documents from the US consulate? e.g. a consulate-certified birth certificate etc. Any other documents, or a foreign country-issued birth certificate will be OK?

Thanks Joef, mind checking out an URL about your "maybe or may not be" thing? My bet is if parents were able to register the birth of his/her kids with the consulate, then the kid should be citizen right?

So what it means is the LPR parents need NOT register birth of the kid to overseas consulate right? Second question is if someone has the overseas consulate report of birth on hand, that person should be 100% US citizen since ONLY US citizen parents can register birth with the consulate right?

Only US citizens parents may register overseas birth of their kids, right? So that means if someone has the consulate report of birth on hand, that means they are US citizen, right? How about green card holders?

Quote: -verify questions/ answers Did the officer check EVERY questions and answers on N-400? How did you remember all entry/exit dates from memory? Did the officer check your passport?

Here is the situation with my friend: -Father was a PR but died before being able to take oath during naturalization application, so he's not citizen -Mother was a PR too but not citizen, who had died as well -Step-Mother (2nd wife of his own father) was a US citizen My friend was born...
