@Going through, do you, by any chance have the link to apply n400 online. I can't see it on the uscis.gov website. All i see was to pay i.misrant fee amd the AP application

 

Thanks!!

Thanks for posting that link.  If it wasn't for your posts I wouldn't even know you could do it online as they really seem to have hidden the link.

 

Submitted my wife's and my forms today, fingers crossed we have a run as quick as yours.

Best of luck in your filing!

 

Yes, I too wish they would make the option of applying online more prominent on their website.  I had to have someone else here walk me through how to find the link as well!

Going through,

 

Thank you for sharing your experience. Do you mind letting me know if you filed I-601 for your CIMT when going through your I-485?

 

Thanks.

 

Stylo.

My CIMT never came up at the border by POE officers for questioning whenever I travelled back and forth between both countries during the years prior to my marriage (which was about a dozen times).  Although my charge is/was a CIMT, and committed when I was an adult, it was not an inadmissible charge since I fell under the "petty offense exception", so I never needed an I-601 waiver.

At the end of the interview she said she is recommending me for approval but because of the prior charge she needed to get her supervisor to review it---in my shock I blurted out "from 23 years ago??"  and "but you guys knew about it with my AOS" and "I sent it in with my ROC and even now today too!!"

Yeah, it's kind of crazy that they care about something so long ago especially if you've kept a clean record since then.  Without revealing too much, was the offense something that might have given them concerns about moral character (drugs, fraud etc)?  That's the only thing I can think they would really care about, but perhaps it's just an automatic requirement that as soon as you declare an arrest two people need to sign-off on it to make sure that people don't slip through a lenient IO.

My offense was a CIMT, and I had kept a clean record since...From what I've heard and seen around here, it is a common thing where whenever you have a criminal record, no matter a CIMT or not, no matter how long ago, the supervisor does have to approve an IO's recommendation for approval.

 

I kind of figured it might still raise an issue at my N400 interview because of it being a CIMT, I was just taken back at that moment when I blurted out my response to her.  Maybe it's a good thing I blurted that out, though, since it prompted her to get the approval right away instead of delaying my application further.

I am competing my N400 online. So do you know if I attach the same court documents and expunged document for every question I answer as “yes” under the criminal offense section.

Thanks in advance.
