N400 2019-2020 Asylee Tracker

DoubleAA said:
Thank you for sharing, based on my experience and reading forums. I can deduce that USCIS can let LPRs based on Asylum send Form N-400 if they have lived in the United States for at least five years. It will help if you reside in the state or USCIS, the district where you apply for naturalization, for three months immediately before applying. (The date on your card is your residency start date). You offered May 2020 is, so that date use for the USCIS calculatorhttps://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator. The law permits LPRs to send Form N-400 at least 3 months early before 5 year. That means you can count 4 years and 9 months from May 2020, so you may send your Form N-400 application around February 2025. on my opinion reading tthis forum USCIS only cares about the travel documents you used when traveling in and out US( refugee travel documents in your case) or if you ever went to COP which you are not because you have RTD, then bring the expired ones as proof of dates of travel, stamps , visas dates, etc because cases are based on individual timelines, etc you are good.

Good luck

Thank you so much! ❤️ I appreciate your time for all my questions
 
Having to wait for a citizenship interview for 11 months , my day to be interview was today. I passed the US citizenship interview this morning. Shortly after the online case portal was instantly updated to : ”Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled.” not sure how long I will get the notice. The interview lasted less than 30 minutes. The officer stopped the civics questions after I passed the 6th one. In the interview, the officer went through the questions with me, we made some corrections, and signed the documents. That was it. I was given a paper and was on my way out.

They did not ask me anything about my travels. The intervening officer and customer service of did not even see my green cards or documents that I completely worked hard to compile. I heard on Oath I will have to fill the Q and A again

Dear all

I have a question - has anyone ever had (or heard of anyone having) issues re-entering the US or during the citizenship interview because they used their national passport (from the COP) to travel to a third country after they got the green card (not travel to their country but to a third non-neighboring country)?

I know this is a controversial topic and some lawyers say it is okay to do and others say not. But in real life, I want to know if people really had issues with that.

Thanks

Google the topic in various threads there. It depends on individual cases.

Today I took my Oath Ceremony after lining up to go through security. Once inside, the first thing was to give my green card away: 30 minutes later we took the oath, we were all, one by one, called to receive our Certificate of Naturalization, and asked to review it thoroughly to ensure all the information there was correct. It was a immigration Jouney that started back in 2012. I want to urge all my friends here to have hope and patience. my day finally arrived yours can!
 
I will like to ask if with the green card , do I never have to leave the USA for 5years if I want to be a citizen? Or can I leave say a month every year and that will not cause an issues during my application process ?

They never bought anything regarding my travels or asylum case. Even with that time I was asylee and LPR for 5 years , I only went outside the United States 2 times and that was in Mexico.
