hi. im so confused when is the best time to apply for citizenship. my anniversary date is 4/3/09. my friend told me to apply on feb3. some says january 3. which is the best time? thanks! I'm sorry i cannot find the thread for this one.
 
You can apply no earlier than 90 days before the 5 year anniversary of permanent residency. Five years are counted from the "Resident since" date on your green card.

Apply a week after Jan 03, 2014 to avoid getting too close to the 90 days window.
 
thanks so much... another question, im going to apply along with my husband. do we need to send separate envelope package to mail and separate payments?
 
Same envelope is fine, but separate your applications with paper clips (with separate cheques to avoid mix-ups).
 
USCIS has this calculation sheet that you can use to acquire the earliest date you can apply.
 
L1A to B1/B2

Hi,
I am on L1A Visa and my 7 years are getting completed in June'14. My wife is pregnant and she is due in May'14 end. What are the options for me?
Can I apply for COS from L1A to B1/B2 visa for period after May'14 end while staying in US? I know I won't be able to work, but can I and my wife stay legally and complete the pregnancy formalities and go back to India after couple of months?
Pl. advise

Sincerely,
Rishi
 
thanks so much. another question: we lived in jersey for 2 weeks the day we came here in the US. while waiting for our ssn. we stayed at my husbands friend. do we need to put it in our application?

L1A - Applicability

Hi,

Having gone through the L1A (for Managers) requirements I understand the following along with my role mapping:

1. Individual to lead a function - I head the commercial finance for US (third level reporting into the CFO) with 12 member team of chartered accountants and MBAs
2. Future role in US - decentralization of the present function to US and still lead the team in offshore and hire and expand the team through local recruitment in US
3. Continue to set directions for the function and align to organizational objectives
4. Education background - Full time MBA Finance & Strategy
5. Working for the same company for the past 8 years
6. The company is a $8Bn Indian IT
7. Skills required for the future role in US:
a. Negotiation skills with Customer for commercial and contract closures
b. Leadership skills to manage decentralization and build team and manage overseas cultural differences
c. Technical skills to manage the tool used for pricing the services and review the work of the team members
8. I already have a business visa (multiple entries) and I keep travelling for customer contracts very often since I lead this geo
9. I also have business visas for Netherlands, Singapore & UK - Travels to these geos are limited though.

Basis the above details is their a thorough eleigibility of L1A. While I understand that LVisas in general is getting rejected from India,however, would first want to get a comfort on whether at all the profile is eligible for L1A.

Request your opinion. Happy to answer any queries.

Thanks
