Hi. You seem to know a bit more than the rest of us about all the ins and outs of immigration processes, so I have a question about backtracking.
According to what I've read and heard, BCIS makes mistakes when producing PCs, namely not always backtracking them one year. Is it true that we can still apply for citizenship four years after the approval date that's on the approval notice (in my case July 21) regardless of what date is put on the PC? In other words, what date is really the key date?
My second question: when I went to get my temporary green card I met some asyless at the office with their national passports. They said their lawyers told them it was safe to now travel with them and they indeed got them stamped. When my turn came, I simply told the INS officer that I wanted the card and not the stamp and that too was fine. In other words, it really doesn't seem like they give a damn at this point?
What are your thoughts on this?
Many thanks.
