1. What will be acceptable reasons for immigration regarding an USC applicant who stayed almost all the time outside but never more than five months and never intented to travel that much?

2. what are the consequences of not having enough days for physical residency and applying for Citizenship?


thanks

Also there are many murders never been in the court. Those who report wrong data regarding travel, obviously some will escape and will be citizens and many will be caught
 
I aint talking about providing wrong data. Do you really think you can find someone crazy enough to report wrong info for on US citizenship application ???? come on man. I dont think so.

I am thinking of providing all the info and apply.

It happens. People do it (including a guy not long ago in the US citizenship section who deliberately didn't list some of his long trips). Some get caught at the interview. Some get caught after naturalization. Some don't get caught at all.

Go ahead, it's your money to waste if you apply when you're not eligible.

All those you mentioned with less saty than required and get approved falsefy their stay.
 
I remember reading a story of a movie maker who stayed 4 years outside came back and got approved. May be, the officer didnt know the procedures at that time.
The applicant explained that he never intented to break residency and because of his movies, he wasnt able to fly back. I 've tried so many time to find the posting..

It wasn't clear if he was or wasn't spending enough time in the US to meet the physical presence requirement. He was able to get 4 reentry permits in a row, but there was no mention of him spending as much as 4 years outside the US during the 5-year window before applying.

Maybe someone could lie and get the Naturalization, but if USCI discover later at any time the mistake, then the Citizenship must be revoked.
 
The interviewer will deny your application immediately once they see that you obviously failed to meet the physical presence and continuous residence requirements. Unless you wait a few more years to accumulate sufficient residence and presence in the US before you apply.
 
If you have been more outside more 1000 days in the last 5 years, and you have been approved for citizenship, please let me know. Thanks.
 
GCman2005- Do you think it's worth take all extra head ach for the rest of your life to gain Citizenship with a big lie--- You might regret it and then it might be too late.

Don't waste your $695 and wait for your turn.
 
1st immigrant : dont judge me, like I said before, I am not gonna lie, I just need to explain if given the chance at an interview why I wasnt able to stay in the usa for a long time. Then I can be approved or denied.

Are you saying that anyone approved with more than 1000 days during the last 5 years is a liar????

If they correctly listed the 1000+ days on the application, they are not lying, but if they were approved it means either they were approved by a gross mistake, or they met one of the few acceptable exceptions such as working abroad for the US government (including the military).

Continuous residence has gray areas, and long absences can often be explained away with sufficient evidence. But the physical presence rule is much more rigid. If you don't have the required number of days of presence, and your overseas employment* doesn't meet the necessary criteria, you're going to be flat out denied, regardless of why you stayed abroad so long. They won't care about your explanations. You either have the number of days in the US or you don't, your employment meets the criteria for exemption or it doesn't. Intent doesn't matter. Continuous residence involves discretionary decisions, but physical presence does not.


*or your spouse's or parent's overseas employment, if you were married or under 18 during the period in question
