I don't think the "certified copy" is even the official instruction. From what I remember, that's something printed on that flyer(https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/G-1151.pdf), but is in fact not an actual requirement. Many people, including myself, were worried about the "certified" part, but I've never heard anyone getting an RFE because of it. The cynic in me suspects that this "instruction" is a tactic for discouraging immigrants from naturalizing.

You'll need a lawyer for that. What was the basis for the inadmissibility?

Where NOT explicitly stated, write the "given name" first, as in "Jane Doe." In many forms the last name comes first, but that would be specifically instructed. Given name = First name. Surname = Last name.

It could've got finalized (decision made) but because it's not current yet the approval is still pending, so they closed it. Just guessing.

Probably, yes. The I-140 step may take a lot longer than it seems, depending on the country where you were born (citizenship doesn't matter).

Are you also born in Canada? Once the approved I-140 is sent to the NVC it's hard to tell how long it will take to get the visa number and for the consulate to schedule the interview, especially in the current climate.

Elon Musk may turn USCIS into whatever Twitter has become.

Are you talking about the receipt # or the I-94 number? Unless the form has changed, the I-94 # is a series of numbers. It's different on every new I-797. How do you know the correct number? Sorry if I'm not understanding something basic here. I'm not sure if the current I-797A will be needed, but it's likely. If you know the printing error, simply mention that to the new employer and they can make a note of it and include it in the application package. The error should be then corrected by USCIS together with the approval of the new application.

The new employer can file a new H1B case, yes. You'll get a new I797 form if approved. How do you know that there's a printing mistake?

Was your Form I-360 approved or not? What is the attorney saying?

Unless you are not IN FACT only visiting the US while actually residing abroad, as seems to be the case here.

For start, you shouldn't refer to a foreign country as "home." Your home is in the US, or you are seriously violating the LPR status.

If you formally state that you weren't living in the US permanently during that year, the actual dates notwithstanding, you violated the continuous residence requirement. That would be technically true even if you were physically present in the US the whole time. As an LPR you are required to permanently reside in the US, but you are stating here that this wasn't the case.

The public charge applies to those seeking to become LPRs, not to current green card holders. So, that's not gonna affect you. There's no requirement to apply for naturalization, nor to be approved for it if one applies. This, too, isn't gonna be an issue for you. As long as you don't stay abroad for too long, you'll be fine. If you've already filed the new N-400, it may be a good idea to wait for the citizenship, this time around - just so you don't miss it again.

That's not a serious argument. Are unlawful non-citizens not subject to the US jurisdiction? If so, then how can the US even enforce its laws against them? Do they have the diplomatic immunity? I read it somewhere on the internet: her own Twitter ("now X") feed.

That's not a serious challenge. The wording is unambiguous: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

This might be a ToS violation. You can't just accuse someone of lying about the most fundamental aspects of their lives just because you don't like them. Unless you provide strong evidence for Harris's not being born in the US, this is blatant slander, and, at the very least, inflammatory language.

It is an outlandish idea because it proposes amending the 14th Amendment, which provides for a lot more than just the birthright citizenship. In fact, it may be one of the most fundamental parts of the post-Civil War Constitution.

If there was no plea it most likely won't count as a conviction. They may still enquire about what actually happened.

Did the defendant enter a guilty plea? If not, the lack of conviction will probably make them eligible for the visa (not a conviction for USCIS purposes). But, if conviction for immigration purposes has been established, this offense may count as a CIMT (crime involving moral turpitude), which could preclude the applicant from being admitted. Talking to a lawyer may be a good idea.

Yes, that's exactly what I plan to do. I wasn't sure if it could work, so it's good to hear from someone with a first hand experience.

I could try that the next time. When I check-in in the US I always use the US passport (that's my understanding of the law), so I fill in the Japanese immigration form with the same pp number.

Sounds like she used her NZ passport when leaving NZ and showed the US passport when entering the US. She also might had left the US with the NZ passport being used for checking-in/buying the ticket. This method is recommended by many dual citizens, but I've always been skeptical about it. The problem arises when buying a round trip from the US to the country of second citizenship. I blame the airlines. This problem is even more exposed when traveling between a third country and the country of non-US citizenship. I've been using my US passport everywhere, including the EU, where I have the other citizenship. I often travel to Japan and, ofc, use the US passport to enter. However, with the new EU electronic authorization rule, airlines will demand to see if I'm authorized to enter the EU (from Japan). Using a different passport when leaving Japan could easily create an overstay there, so that's not an option. If worse comes to worse, I'll travel to the EU via a land border port of entry, excluding the annoying airlines from the process. Also, for anyone who may be interested: Using the non-US passport may make it difficult to obtain a TS security clearance if you're applying for certain gov positions.
