When the issuing authority gives the copy of the record with their seal or stamp on it then it becomes a certified copy. Thus, you have to check the photocopy of the court paperwork that your lawyer sent to you if there is a court seal or stamp on it or not. If not then you can get it from the...

USCIS normally considers the moral character of the applicant for N-400 within 5 years' period BUT they can consider beyond the 5 years if they like to as laws allow them to do so. So this 5 years window means nothing. You do not need any attorney because attorney can not do anything in your...

Taking all the documents with you to the interview is not only when you have any arrest or too much travel, but all those documents could be asked to present even in a simple case as well. Do not forget that files/applications do loose documents within USCIS while transiting from one dept. to...

As I said many times on another thread that USCIS and even immigration Judge wouldn't debate on who did what and what happened such as it took long time for fingerprints to be cleared back then or OP was married in good faith or OP has all the proofs to prove his previous marriage to be...

Of course you have to wait for the NTA to arrive unless you are in rush to adjust your status thru immigration judge then you could surrender yourself to USCIS by going to any of their office by saying that you are out-of-status. Since NTA is not issued yet in your case then you have the...

Over the years I've seen that many NTAs specifically states about termination of status; while a few times I've seen not mentioning of it which seems to be in your case. Nevertheless, issuing a NTA or placing someone on removal proceeding automatically means termination of any status and the...

Sending in writing is one thing; while adding/recording to the A file by USCIS is another. Many times mails get lost and never reach to USCIS; while other times USCIS is known to not adding/recording a request properly to A file. Thus, just sending in writing is not enough when something so...

Informing the USCIS over the phone or even by writing wouldn't prove anything as a defense. A stamped copy of acknowledgement of your request is the only defense. That's why its very important to get something in writing from USCIS that they did receive your request, and the best way to do is-...

Immigration judge doesn't revoke someone's status; rather USCIS does thru NTA which they will issue in this case in hand no matter what. It's just a matter of time. In many cases I've seen takes as longest as 6 months to receive NTA. But trust me, NTA would arrive if right address USCIS has on...

I'll try to be as gentle as I could. Actually, most people don't want to leave the US particularly if they have family, home, job and life in the US but they have no choice if they are not eligible for some kinds of visa to stay in this country. So, it doesn't matter what someone wants or...

I know I shouldn't respond to, but want to make something very clear. First of all, it does not matter why India is so problematic these days, and who is to blame to India's situations, and whether or not situations in India are changing, and blaming Whites to put down India, etc...etc...

The quality of life is very poor in India especially in the last 5 years. I'm sure you know it if you are from Delhi. Though living standard has improved a bit in India but other things got miserable, and I'm talking based on my personal experiences. India is full of mosquitoes and dust. Roads...

USCIS does NOT ask for State or City tax returns; rather they care only for Federal tax returns. Secondly, if you call IRS then most of the representatives would tell you that they can provide the tax returns only for the last 3 years but actually when they say this that it means that they can...

A marriage certificate is the proof that you get from govt. about your marriage. While proofs of marital union are joint bill together, jointly filed income tax returns, joint bank accounts, joint lease, pictures together to anywhere or with other people, anything and everything in joint names...

No. One gets ASC appointment within a month of filing while application still takes 3-5 months to process. Background checks are normally done within 48 hours and by electronically, while application still take time to process.

Uttaramu: You must have mentioned that you have a child and that the child is not with you which is why adjudication officer is asking you to provide documentation relating to providing support to your child. It doesn't matter where you got divorced, or whether or not your child is a US...

Yemi: Yes CBP would be able to check your entry and exit record, and FBI would be able to tell your criminal record. But why do you wanna check all these? Do you believe that you have any criminal record? If so then you can do all this, including going to Police headquarter in your area (and...

Not only tax returns but also tax transcripts too should be carried on for the last 5 years even if a case is based upon a marriage (3 years rule) or an employment based (5 years rule). As it's stated very clearly that normally only tax transcripts are asked but lately its reported on two...

Normally USCIS asks only the tax transcripts (Federal tax returns) but lately it's reported on two different immigration forums that some people were specifically asked to present tax returns and not the transcript. So it would be in your best interest if you could carry with you both- tax...

No. Your mom doesn't need her marriage certificate but she would need to write down her marriage details on N-400 as naturalization application does ask all the info from applicants about their ALL marriages, current and past.
