N400 application and frequent travel outside the US
Lil bear replied to steeeeve's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Only way to know is to get your list together and count. Any day when you were in the US for any length of v time .. eg flight departed or arrived at 00.01 in the morning .. Is counted being physically present in the US. -
My thoughts exactly
-
Correct. It was dismissed because you were at that time following a legal means of adjusting your status by having an approved i 130’ based on marriage. Failing to go through with the I485 makes the foundation for dismissing the deputation order null and void .. so you go back to the previous condition.. deportation. .
-
Also he is in the US already and needs to adjust status .. and deal with extensive unauthorised work and overstay.. to be eligible for a visa he would have to be not in the US. .. and having already had a deportation order against him. .. Not exactly a simple task
-
That just being legally married is not the only requiremrnt. You must have documented evidence that the marriage is an active ongoing marital union. Living apart, paying child support, and “ Getting on with our lives” are not words that describe an active legitimate ongoing martial relationship But its your choice .. as it always has been .. wishing you luck. I’m out .
-
No it does not. You must meet one of the requirements of eligibility to file AOS unless you have a USC child who is over 21 years of age, I see no basis for adjusting status to be found in the info you have given us You say your daughter is 15 so that option is out You say you are separated from your wife and living separated lives .. so that spousal option is out You are out of legal status and out of authorised stay. Not a good place to be in .. your immigration record is not a good one.
-
correct. Read the fine print
-
Even a good lawyer will struggle to find a legal basis for you to adjust status. Married but not living together does not meet the prerequisites for applying for AOS
-
That’s always a risk. But you have done what you can and should. Watch your case status. Update your address with USPS, though this envelope will not be forwarded. You could try calling USCIS but the chance of getting a person is low. Recheck your account profile is updates are often v slow. If you want to mail a copy.. it wont hurt
-
I just kept a print out of the AR 11 that the system generated
-
Most here on VJ do it themselves. Do you have any “ red flag” issues or reasons that you think needs a lawyer ?
-
Online. Use The AR11 form. Also your sponsor must complete the I865 ( paper only i believe)
-
You wait until you get “ documentarily qualified” by the NVC. NVC then advises you that your application is complete and is being placed in the queue for an interview at your home country US consulate. Most appointments are made from NVC and you are notified of these details. Then you do the above
-
Well this thread occasionally makes as much sense as that song !!🤣
-
For me .. go with the black and white answer. If you sent a document in, take the original and a copy. Nothing to lose doing so
-
Everything you submitted means “everything you submitted “ They tell you to bring the original documents ( the ones you either copied and mailed in or scanned and submitted electronically) that accompanies your application. ALL In addition, photocopy each of the originals so that , if they need to retain anything, they will take the copy and return the originals to you.
-
Many countries do not return old passports. The consulate officer will be well aware of Tunisia’s policy
-
It is good to hear your updates !!!
-
This official uscis document gives very clear instructions for documentation specific to each situation https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf You would do well to study this carefully. It will answer not only this question but many others , and ensure your application is complete and accurate and less likely to get rejected or receive an RFE
-
You can only file under the 5 year rule. Who you are and were previously married to has no bearing on this .. apart from the documentation you need attach. First marriage certificate, husbands death certificate, second marriage certificate…… Plus the other standard documents Go for it. Go well.
-
Then check the visa needs for a USC to enter Italy. Easily “googled”

N-400 January 2025 Filers
Lil bear replied to Carlos&Gen's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
The questions are exactly as stated in the official USCIS guide. My understanding is that the selection is computer generated and not selected by the IO -
Not an official UDSCIS sample because the online form is an active form which presents questions that are specific to the applicants situation. So no one form is the same as someone else's. You have to read very carefully as you progress through the form. Google search has lots of examples that will give you a general idea, but don’t get hung up on the differences between different examples I found this one useful. https://www.***removed***/green-card/sample-ds-260-form-for-us-immigrant-visa.pdf Plus the info page for the DS260 on the USCIS WEBSITE
-
No. The exemption from needing to have a sponsor completes the financial requirements
-
Read the pdf instruction sheet on the uscis website. It lists clearly the exemptions for i864. Having 40 plus SS credits is listed as an exception. Follow the instructions when filing to explain why there is no i864 attached and includes the official SSA statement
