It’s possible. But if the POE IO's do not know how long you are out, you can at least return with trips longer than 6 months without having to fight a rebuttable presumption of abandonment, or worse still your greencard getting ripped up in front of you at the port of entry.

Don't think anyone has been denationalized. Think they tried to do it once and failed. Just what I heard from an attorney.

Best way is to test it. Go through a POE and try them out - see if they catch any accidental mistaken and then correct yourself if they do. I think you will be surprised at how little they know. If enough people did this and posted their experience we would soon have a sample from which to...

Thanks I will review that post. It is one example of someone saying they got caught out - wonder if there was stamps in the passport which contradicted their statements under oath? Where are the examples of people getting the trips wrong or missing them out (deliberate or accidently) and still...

Theory and Practice: get the advice right. Well.. that is the theory isn't it?? The reality is something different, considering you cannot prove your theory and I know the reality.. I tend to believe my thoughts. Passenger manifest and airline tracking is under taken for anti-terrorism. No...

Another way around it... 6mnths limit I have heard about the "two passport approach". Some countries permit two passports. One for business purposes and the other for personal visits. Or one to be used day to day and the other for ID and hence kept more tidy. If you can get two passports...

Guy, guys.. Do you not think you are all getting carried away here? We are on this forum as we are above the norm in our particularness. Some perspective. Immigration authorities are simply not going to know about foriegn speeding violations, they will not know if you have a foriegn...

I know the AC21 issue has been discussed before when completing Employment sections, however I am not sure if anyone has been in this situation: :) Mr A works for H1-B sponsor for 2.5 years :confused: H1-B Sponsor has a mass layoff :) The day of the layoff notice Mr A's I-485 is filed by...

Thanks Guys. Nice definative replies. Now you would have thought I would have got the same definative responses form people to the question: does the IO at airport POE's know how long you have been out for? (if they did). QED: they don't :)

Well that is true. I personally have come to the conclusion that n400 interviews are generally not that much of an issue. As long as you have not spent 6 months out or longer & as long as the intent is to be a PR - honesty is the best policy and will win the day, if not - through the honest...

These are good points. However I just don't buy it. There are not enough examples of anybody being caught out giving incorrect departure dates (unless PP stamps contradict). If this information was available at the field offices - there would be far more experiences of skirmishes - as people...

Well.. that is enough to make anybody feel paranoid. However, I wish to put this into context... The benefits of this forum (like utube.com) is the *user generated* content. We all can have theories, but we look for the patterns of behaviour of the authorities, based on the experiences of...

okay. Well, I am not sure what kinds of checks occur for "security" - I would assume they are different to continuous residency checks (more related to crimnal record, I assume?) Does this mean that in most cases, if security is cleared - the departure records are probably not sent to the...

Thanks for the post as well. This makes sense. I would think that the CBP could get your records if needed (counter terrorism reasons). But my gut is that the field offices do not have access to the information - currently. This would be reflective of the posts in this forum - none of which...

Okay, I am *not* sure if the card is swiped on exit, but pretty sure the numbers are entered into the system (again this could be to track and stop known terrorists as opposed to collect info for n400 interviews or PRs). If you check in with some airlines on-line (e.g. www.ba.com) I am pretty...

Surely this is a question of the planets lining up for him. Depends on the IO on the day and the state that he filed in (their general practice). There have been posts of people who have had their passports and taxes carefully checked - not sure your friend would have made it - if that was the...

Yesssss.. P-e-r-f-e-c-t Any takers?

True. Aside from the speculation on their system capabilies, they can indeed build up a pattern of residency and intention through other sources of information. I am just asking how arrival/departures are verified. I am asking for people experiences of having trips verified at the n400...

We are asking for any experience of people in N400 interview that may have accidently got the dates wrong (or otherwise) and been told that they are not correct (other then by the IO reviewing the x-checking passport stamps). Most countries have no-fly lists and mechanism to enforce them. But...

Follow up... Okay - so when you say verifying the stamps, she is going to check the dates in your passport are the same as indicated in the application, which is the job that most IO undertake (it is well documented in the experiences of people at n400 interviews within this forum). That...
