US Citizenship General Discussion	How to talk to Tier 2 USCIS officer	I've done it about 10 times in the last 40 days. Works for me.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-12-10 22:15:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	MY INTERVIEW WAS SO WEIRD	How did you arrive in the USA, and what visa ? what visa did you hold when you first applied for the Adjustment of Status to get the first 2 year green card? I ask, because the IO has some sense of what's what, what you've done prior...	Darnell	Male	China	2012-08-03 00:12:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	MY INTERVIEW WAS SO WEIRD	so, I smell 2 red flags, unsure how all was reviewed or discretion on prior VOs used. but. . . great disparity of age difference on you and your USCitizen Spouse and you came in on a tourist visa...

US Citizenship General Discussion	Mother is US Citizen before minor turns 18.	How do I go about confirming this? How do I get him a US passport? Basically, apply ! Send off the paperwork with payment, and yer done ! No need to chase down any N400 stuff.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-09-07 05:29:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Mother is US Citizen before minor turns 18.	We could just go to the USPS and apply for his PP? thats one way to apply for a passport. there are other ways..	Darnell	Male	China	2012-09-07 08:14:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Mother is US Citizen before minor turns 18.	Why? Passport is sufficient for proving up USCitizenShip.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-09-07 10:56:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Mother is US Citizen before minor turns 18.	Hi Guys, I have a question. It's really for my stepson. My wife, has been a citizen for 3 years, at the time she became citizen he was 17 years old. He has had his GC for atleast 5 years before that. Does that mean he is automatically a citizen? Note: His father is not a U.S. Citizen or have ever even visited the US. Thanks in advance. So, tempus fugit. What you do since the 6th ?	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-30 06:19:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Passport denial	Take another look at CSPA, as the daughter gets special status once you have your citizenship, if under a certain age. It's my understanding that all you have to do is apply for the passport , if she meets the criteria (and I think she does) What may be 'the issue' is that the clerk at the post office NOT know about CSPA and how your daughter qualifies. Do some research on that, then go back, get a supervisor, go over the CSPA stuff with that human.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-19 14:34:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	I need to know	it's my understanding 'the dates' are tied to first issuance date on the first green card. see http://www.visajourn...dpost__p__39916 for all the scoop. Edited by Darnell, 20 November 2012 - 11:42 PM.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-20 23:35:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	I need to know	you were married to a us citizen before you migrated in 2009. That means you became eligible to apply for citizenship 3 years after that if you are still married to the same person. You do not need to wait anymore. Go file the paperwork. This is blatantly wrong, fwiw. One uses the first date on the first green card. <EOM>	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-23 14:57:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Big problem	I say it's not the husband's fault, at all. I say it's the DMV's fault, with this 'motor-voter' stuff enacted at the state level. IMO, there was no 'box to tick' at the DMV - the DMV simply 'did it' and it's all a big mess, an error performed by the DMV. [so, look into that, soonish]	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-24 16:11:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	Will USCIS keep applicants' think materials forever?	that's the A-File. It goes to Storage after some time. Want to see a copy of yours? Ask for it, via a FOIA submittal into USCIS.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-09 17:25:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	So when can I become a Yank?	So when can I become a Yank? When the Greeks reckon time by the kalends ...... or during a span of time that represents 90 days from the end of the 3rd year in which your first green card was issued (check it, check the date there) Good Luck !	Darnell	Male	China	2012-10-31 17:55:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	So when can I become a Yank?	[fyi - YankDom is some sexual reference, so be wary when asking how to 'get there' face to face with USCitizens, aye? ]	Darnell	Male	China	2012-11-01 20:48:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Need an argument settled	so, forget the argument with the 'husband'. You should focus, instead, on form and format of 'multiple-choice exams'. Unless instructions say otherwise (this is rare) there is only ONE correct answer. It's up to you to determine which one is MORE right than the other three. If someone told me that I had to know all 4 , I'd cry shenanigans and start getting violent. OTOH, knowing the wrong, bullsh|t answers can be useful, also. So - how long have you had this husband? can trade him in for one not so bullheaded? or bullstoned?	Darnell	Male	China	2012-08-12 17:50:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	apply investment immigration after I abandon green card	hold on until you meet the requirements, file for uscitizenship, and THEN go back . That's my advice.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-07-09 07:48:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Questions about filling out N-400	re: the 5 year question (days outside of usa) I suggest you rethink the calendar and the math, and come up with an answer reflecting the start, the day her foot first hit the ground in the USA, coming in on a K-1 or CR-1/IR-1 visa. but even then, that's not the right date. IIRC, it's the first date of 'status' ... lets see. pick one, depending on visa type: 1. k-1 visa holder - day 1 starts after marriage date 2. CR-1 visa holder - day 1 starts the day after POE date. I may be wrong if K-1 visa - it may be the first day of status with a green card - so keep digging, you. Since yer using the 3 year 'rule', don't use the 5-year math and calendar.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-06-06 07:46:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	Is N600 COC necessary or is US passport enough?	IR-4's are a special category - the USA passport is enough for USCitizenship status - No N600 filing necessary. Sure, it's referenced on a USCIS website, but be certain the verbiage you read is focused on the IR-4.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-06-03 11:24:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	A visit from immigration officers	i think your name is exactly like some one elses, and they are searching for that person.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-04-05 22:42:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	A visit from immigration officers	I thought about that too, since the IO during the interview asked me about my religion and if my wife, her children and i practice i. I dont think he should ask about the religion, my wife said that too. What does the religion has to do with naturalization? i dont know. I have some moroccan friends who went thru the naturalization process, none asked them about their religion and if they practice it. Thank you everyone for your replies, support and wishes. My best wishes for you all Most Terrorists on the watchlist are Muslim radical fanatics. I Still Claim™ your real name is a match on the watchlist. There's a terrorist out there with your same name.

US Citizenship General Discussion	Its Official	yeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaar !!! Congratulations !! what y'all eat, to celebrate?	Darnell	Male	China	2012-04-09 21:02:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	PLEASE READ. Your help is needed!	wife a permanent resident for 3.5 years now? Did she come into USA as an IR-1 visa holder? IF NOT, then i think you've skipped some step for Removal of conditions. A Removal of Conditions case is more about showing the evidence of financial co-mingling. You've raised questions on financial co-mingling, which, IMO, are best addressed when filing that ROC case. So. please check her greencard, study the dates printed there - just in case she's out of status.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-03-29 07:03:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	PLEASE READ. Your help is needed!	OK OK OK - relax you. Are you in a financial position to start the co-mingling, or no ? IMO, though - I say it's not so needed, when applying for Citizenship. You'll need to prove up you were at the same place with yer spouse over that time period, so focus on that, for the rest of this week and the weekend, pulling out whatever receipts you can. Good Luck !	Darnell	Male	China	2012-03-29 20:04:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	What happens if I lose my green card right before oath ceremony?	Well, if you show up at the oath ceremony WITHOUT the card in hand, you have to take instruction from the proctor at the door. Good Luck !	Darnell	Male	China	2012-02-15 16:33:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	No document to prove citizenship	another approach - use a telephone, call into USCIS, get a Tier 2 Human, an ISO, and inquire for casefile status. read up a bit, prior to calling - http://www.dhs.gov/f...5658440339.shtm	Darnell	Male	China	2012-01-15 23:21:00

US Citizenship General Discussion	Applying In March	Well, that was the first answer you got (to pay monies, get a new card) from a USCIS human . Was it a CSR or an ISO? http://www.dhs.gov/f...5658440339.shtm -- There are members' stories here of successfully getting a replacement without paying the fee. One had to be adamant, though.	Darnell	Male	China	2012-01-21 09:45:00
US Citizenship General Discussion	If you're denied citizenship, what happens to your status?	it will depend, really, on whether or not a deportation order is issued by an immigration judge at an immigration court. no deportation order? you remain a LPR. deportation order? time to leave USA. Remember, you MUST maintain yer LPR status, irrespective of your USCitizenship casefile status until you become a USC. unless, of course, you have a deportation order .

US Citizenship General Discussion	i failed the us citizenship interview today	Kathryn, i submitted more evidence last Friday. yeah we do have Costco membership. the mailman definitely knew i live in the same house as my husband. same mailman since the day i arrived here. as with my son, we don't sign papers or something like that. however, we do attend together during parent teacher conference. i drop him off in the morning and he picks him up in the afternoon. the interviewer rejected the bills since she said its so easy to say that we live in the same house. she said its so easy to make up and use the same address -those are bills! with my name on it or my husbands. so i did not submit any of those. i'll let you all know when i receive a mail from uscis (well, it was in the afternoon when i got interviewed. a lot of rolling eyes during the interview and no patience at all so i knew that i did not pass) You should have brought the mailman to the interview or got a signed affadavit FROM the mailman. WOW !	Darnell	Male	China	2010-03-20 00:51:00
