Hi All,

Good to be back on the forum again ( after H1 Saga and GC times; hopefully this is the last time!).

My stats are below and I have a question. As you can see below I got my 485 approved on 12/15/2004 ( it was faster than the normal processing time we were tracking here in the forum and INS website). Actually I left on vacation on 12/15/2004 and back in the US on Jan 25. While I was on vacation I saw the email on Jan 24 (nice Christmas Gift !!) that my 485 is approved and when I came back the and stamped the passport and the date on my GC is 12/15/2004.

Second part of the question is I did mention this on the application part 7 where you explain all the travels I made since the GC date. So the last entry is about this travel. I was out side the US for 150 days during the 5 years and 13 different trips, is that an issue? ( most of that was business travel)

So my question is, will this create any issues during the application process and or at the interview?. Otherwise everything is normal in my case, except I have two traffic tickets which I have disclosed.

Thanks Much and Good Luck Everyone..
Tom

Ton,

You should have absoluteky no problem at all as long as none of those trips lasted more than 180 days.

It could have been safer if you waited 40 days and decided to apply after October 27th. The immigration officer could argue, in principle, that you started your residency on January 25th, 2005.
 
Interesting argument

I too am in the similar situation. LPR since 12/20/2004. Went on vacation from 12/15/2004 - 01/16/2005. Received email around 12/25/2004 stating that my GC got approved. GC says resident since 12/20/2004. Based on the date on the GC, I would think the official start of my residency would be 12/20/2004.
My physical presence would have started from 01/16/2005 when I entered into the US. Hence I would be eligible to apply for N-400 anytime after 09/21/09. Can folks provide their input on my argument?

Thanks,
Speedy
 
One more twist

Well I have one more small issue, I changed job at the end of April . But technically it was a layoff, I have the letter from the company saying “as you know the economic situations is bad blah… blah.. .. your position will be eliminated as of April xx 2005… blah… blah.. “ I also have a separation agreement between myself and the company. I guess that’s enough…?

On the residency issue, I could only one post where a member was told by the IO that his residency starts only when he returns from his time overseas, in that case he left two days after his GC date…

I must say I am not as nervous this time as when I was waiting for my GC…

A question

All, I would appreciate an answer regarding the procedures:
How do you get an status update email regarding your cases? is it taken from the application? or are you going to USCIS (once you have the case number), and sign up for email updates and provide an email? I guess I am really encouraged with the speed of things, but want to be a little more active by knowing what's coming up, rather than sitting at home and waiting for whatever comes. :)
Thanks,

G.
 
The only way to get email updates is by signing up for updates online through uscis.gov. You can also sign-up for mobile text message updates.

Have one problem, My wife left to India for 4 weeks on 09/10 and I am leaving on 30th and we are coming back on Oct 19th..My check was cashed yesterday but I was unabel to figure out which one is receipt no on back of check..what will happen if they send FP notice scheduled before Oct 19th our arrival back from India. Somebody advise.
 
Don't worry about the number on the back of your check for now. You should receive your NOA in the mail pretty soon. If you miss your FP appointment date, your application will be suspended and eventually cancelled due to lack of evidence. You may want to have a friend check your mail and follow the instructions on the FP notice to reschedule your FP while you are away in India.

You mentioned that your wife left for India on 09/10 and you have sent N400 on 09/17. Did you put date on N400 application on or before 09/10 or after 09/17. I am not sure but if you have put date on application as after 09/10 when your wife was not in US, I think it may be a problem. I am not legal expert but it could be a problem if that is the case. I hope you have put actual date when she was in US.
