US Citizenship General Discussionforgot/late filing of 'change of address'
Tell the truth about the dates and where you lived. There were several times that we moved and I didn't update them via the online change of address form. We didn't have an issue with it either for removing the conditions, nor during his citizenship interview.

Edit: with respect to your second question, the only originals we provided were actually court-certified copies of my husband's court records. They tell you to take the originals to the interview, so be able to produce them. My husband wasn't asked for the originals of anything (except, I think, his green card and passport) during his interview.

US Citizenship General DiscussionBig problem
First... I appreciate the great advice that all of you offer here, so I'm reaching out to you again. We CANNOT afford an immigration attorney in any respect. I have nobody who will loan me money to get one, and I'm making barely above minimum wage, so I can't swing one on my own. So this question is more of a "if you couldn't afford an attorney, and were in my situation, what would you do?".

My husband applied for citizenship back in July, and had his interview in October. Of course, the N-400 has questions about registering to vote. This didn't even faze me when I was filling it out. Then, when I voted, I saw my husband's name on the voter rolls as "inactive, ask for ID". I went online and did a search, and lo and behold, his name is on the voter roll. I'm fairly sure what happened is that when he was getting his state ID when he first came to the US (and his English wasn't very good), he must've pushed the button to register to vote at the DMV. It's now been over a month since his interview, and we haven't heard anything from immigration. I've been working pretty much non-stop, so we haven't had a chance to fix anything, either at the board of elections or with immigration.

At this juncture, I'm thinking that the wisest choice would be for us to withdraw his application for naturalization, then get his name off the rolls and reapply later explaining what happened. What do you all think I should do?

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 July 2012 Filers
Just wanted to drop by to say that my husband hasn't heard anything since his interview. His interview was on October 10th, and the IO said that he needed to check over the papers before he made a decision. He didn't have "recommended for approval" checked on the paper. I have no idea what to do at this juncture, since it's been a month since the interview. There has been no update on the online status. :-(

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 July 2012 Filers
I'm not sure if it's that they make you renounce your citizenship as much as they don't recognize dual citizenship.

There is a Chinese couple with 2 young children that run a convenience store downstairs from our apartment. When we got into a discussion with the man about my husband's citizenship interview, he said that he was required to turn his passport in at the oath ceremony. I thought that perhaps he meant that he had to turn his green card in, but he insisted that it was his passport. His citizenship ceremony was 10 years ago.

I haven't heard any other cases of people having to turn their passport in, and I don't recall ever seeing anything about that on the USCIS site. I've also always understood it that the passport is not property of the bearer, but the country that issued it.

They can't take your Canadian passport (or any other country's)... passports belong to the country of origin, so they can't lawfully take them from you.



I also heard the rumor that the person must relinquish their home country's passport. :unsure:

Positive attitude is always good! From some old posts, I see people having similar experience usually get the decision and oath letter in 1-2 weeks. Good luck!



Thanks! My husband has a criminal record, a minor charge of harassment (it's not even a misdemeanor). No jail time, no probation, just a $150 fine. Keeping my fingers crossed that this didn't affect anything!

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 July 2012 Filers
My husband had his interview on the 11th (last Wednesday) in Pittsburgh, and they gave him a letter saying a decision could not be made at this time. He said that the IO told him that he needed to check over the paperwork. No change in the status online yet! Hopefully we won't end up in that dreaded black hole of "pending" for months/years. I'm thinking positively!

Hi everyone!

I sent my husband's N-400 on July 20th, we got the return receipt stamped USCIS Dallas Lockbox dated July 25th. Our NOI is dated July 31st, and Biometrics appointment is set for 8/24.

I'm *slightly* concerned about this one because in the last year my husband was accused of a crime he didn't commit. If you want to read on, I'll explain:

We moved from SC to PA and we were looking for an apartment and found one on craigslist. It was a duplex, and the owner lived on one side and was renting out the other side. I figured that in the worst case scenario, since there was no contract, we could just use it as a temporary stopover until we found something better. Because of money constraints we ended up having to stay there a couple of months, but it ended up being an absolute nightmare. The owner was a raging alcoholic who would just waltz into our apartment any time, she would blast her music until 3 AM, she would take my 2 year old daughter out of my apartment into her apartment and paint her nails bright red (without my permission, of course). It also turned out that the duplex we were renting was not fully hers, but was partly owned by her son, who was in jail. She told us that she didn't know when he was going to get out, but she fully expected us to explain to him why we were living there once he came home and knocked on the door (this is after she told us that he was involved in several drive-bys not too long ago). It was really bad. So we gave her notice that we were moving out, and she flipped.

My husband went with a friend to move the rest of our stuff out of the apartment, and she came barging in, screaming at him. She demanded to know where we were moving to and also demanded my husband's social security number. My husband's friend told her that he won't let my husband give her his social security number. She threatened to call the cops, and my husband said "go ahead". Enter racist cop. The cop had experience with this woman in the past, and knew that she was crazy, but he outright bullied my husband. He told him that if he doesn't know how to read English that he shouldn't be driving in PA, and equated his limited English with him being "stupid". Of course my husband was really nervous, he had no dealings with the law whatsoever in the past, and the cop was being really mean. The cop went into the lady's apartment for about a half an hour, then came back out and began interviewing my husband. Apparently the lady told the cop that one morning my husband came knocking on her door at 3 AM and asked her for a cigarette, then grabbed her rear and and pulled her into his crotch. During the interview, the cop asked my husband if he had a prior arrest record, and my husband answered that he didn't.

Fast forward to the next evening, the cop calls my husband's cell phone and asks to speak to me. He calls me into the station, planning for me to arrive around 5:15 PM. When I get there, the place is totally empty. The cop starts off friendly enough. Then he says that my husband told him that he didn't have an arrest record, and that that was a lie. He pulled out a folder with a rap sheet and a mug shot, and said that my husband was arrested in 2005 and again in 2009 in South Carolina. I told him that we didn't even live in South Carolina at that time, and that my husband wasn't even in the US in 2005. He wasn't convinced, and kept insinuating that my husband was here illegally in the past, and that my marriage to him was a sham so that he could get a green card (even though we have 2 kids together and have never been apart longer than a month!). Then he showed me the mug shot of the person that was arrested, which looked NOTHING (NOTHING!) like my husband. I told him so, but he was like "whatever". I thought that once he did a real background check using a SSN or even fingerprints, it would show that the arrest record isn't my husband's. I refused to talk more and got an attorney. All of this happened in August of last year, and in October, the cop filed charges of Indecent Assault (a misdemeanor 2 in PA). My attorney got his discovery materials and it turns out that the cop didn't run the SSN, or any other identifying numbers, just my husband's name. My husband has a very common name in Mexico, and it didn't surprise me that it (if used by itself) would turn up a hit in a database. During the preliminary hearing, after my husband already had his fingerprints taken, my attorney asked the cop if the fingerprints came back with a record. The cop said NO. The crazy lady also showed up at the preliminary hearing and testified, but after reviewing the court transcripts, her story changed no less than 18 times during her own testimony. Yet none of this was enough for the cop to say "ok, she's obviously lying", so it went to the next stage.

My husband's final hearing was at the end of April 2012. The District Attorney's office was unable to contact the lady at all after the preliminary hearing. They lowered the charge to summary harassment, which we accepted just to avoid any more stress and costs (this hit us hard at over $7,000, without even going to trial). This was pretty much 9 months of the most stressful experience of both of our lives, and we're really grateful that it's over. The only thing is that I'm sure it's going to come up at some point during the interview, which we are OK with and fully accept. We sent in our court documents with our N-400 packet.

I am starting to do research about removing the conditions on my permanent residence. I was reading about changing address and we have lived in two different places since we got married. The most recent move has been just over a month ago. Did I need to change my address the first time I moved? Is it too late to change my address for the most recent move? It never occurred to me about changing my address. Any insight is much-appreciated! Thanks.

CanadaAre Americans allowed to apply for dual citizenship?
For the purpose of a dual citizenship concering the USA and Canada, in general, I think that Canada will consider you a citizen of Canada and the USA will consider you a citizen of the USA. They wont even take into account that you carry citizenship to each other, they will each just consider you thier own citizen. There are a few links out there that explain it in pretty good detail that I used to have book marked...but had to system restore and no longer have them at my fingertips.

Your NOA1 for the I-751 is also a one year extension of your Green Card. If you plan to send the package off in September and will not be leaving until December you *should* receive the NOA before you left. Never know what may happen with processing times by then however...but don't leave the country with out the NOA and you will be just fine! good.gif

Yep, tax transcripts are easy to get and free. Bonus is that they're smaller than the original forms, so you won't spend so much money for copying and postage. I can't think of any reason to use anything else, unless you've procrastinated so much that you can't get transcripts in time.

Call 1-800-829-1040 (1-800-TAX-1040) and follow the prompts.



I should have enough time. My stuff expires on march 29th... so I just submitted so when i get it in a few days, i'll be able to send it off...

thanks guys!!



Ugh, just ran a problem. I got the transcript order for my SSN# but when I try to get one for my wife, it states it cannot be done... Does a joint only show up under 1 SSN#?

Thanks


Your taxes should have been filed with either you or your wife listed first. Whoever was listed first on your 1040 is the SSN# to use for the transcript request. If yours worked and you filed jointly, that should be the right one good.gif

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionQuestion about I-751.....am I worrying too much?
We sent our I-751 off 1 month before my wifes card expired, a week or so after the 90 day window opens wont cause any harm. Depending on the Service Center you are using, it generally takes only a few weeks to get your extension letter.

As for your second question...I would send a copy of the deed, don't see how it could really harm you...I'm sure someone will come along that can give you a better answer for that one. good.gif
