    But naturalized citizens have A-number. They are not foreigners anymore

    It's OK. I naturalized twice in my life. In the first European country I had same reaction to these questions. Nowadays I just tell them where I am originally from right away and everybody gets softer and curious about my path as an immigrant, even though I am a citizen. But I get your point.
  4. OldUser
    It is, but if law enforcement needs to know whether it is a citizen or non-citizen, they need to know. LPRs must have their green cards on them all the time.

    Ok, I can see some logic about 2 year GC (though even for conditional LPRs, they remain LPRs until judge takes status away or LPR signs I-407). But 10 year GC holder's status surely does not expire. If I was an LPR, I'd rather have wording NON-CITIZEN written on DL then have shorter validity on DL. It is not like I'd be advertizing myself as a citizen when I am LPR anyways. And while we go this route of stating NON-CITIZEN on DL, it would be actually nice if all states started including US citizenship status on all DLs like EDL in some states, but by default.

    Does not make full sense to me. LPR status does not have expiration. It's not like DMV issues DL with expiration matching passport expiration to US citizens.

    New Year, new rules. So it looks like Conditional LPRs and regular LPRs would no longer receive Real ID like DL with normal expiration in California... https://www.kcra.com/article/dmv-notifies-californians-real-id-regulations/69896090 It used to be the case, you would get full term Real ID DL even as a LPR with 2 or 10 year card. From now on, expiration of GC or I-797 notices will determine the expiration of ID/DL. Existing RealID DL / ID holders may need to replace their existing cards in my understanding. Pretty sad to see this change. I always felt sorry to folks in other states, but now it is same in California.

    You can attach a cover letter stating these dates were approximate, best to your knowledge. Most likely, nobody would care to know exact dates anyway

    Sorry, not quite understanding how UPS is related to delivery of GC. As far as I know USCIS does not use their services for delivering mail or green cards

    Side note: I think you are very soft with the lawyer. If GC was lost (but shown as delivered to lawyer's PO) you could be more pushy and asking them to file I-90 covering the fees. Or at least split 50/50. It is their inbox after all.

    15b - I'd say yes. Just explain what it was - you got warned and not cited. You won't be penalized for disclosing this, but you may be penalized for not disclosing it. Essentially, always tell the truth.
  33. OldUser
    Fair enough, why naturalize if US citizenship is not a high priority?
  34. OldUser
    Your mother cannot naturalize as of today. She has to come back to the US and live here for at least 4 years and 1 day before she can apply for citizenship. She can take 1-2 trips a year, with 2-3 months out of the entire year spent overseas. Otherwise, she is not meeting criteria, and waivers don't matter.
  35. OldUser
    Congrats! Don't forget to update status with SSA once you have your certificate of naturalization. Also, I recommend applying for a large passport book (it is a free upgrade)
  36. OldUser
    1) How much time did she spend outside the US on her current trip? 2) Did she have any trip in the last 5 year that was longer than 6 month? 3) How many days did she spend in the US in the last 5 years? 4) How long did she have GC for? The reason I am asking these questions, you are focusing on exam etc, but she may be not even eligible to get citizenship as of today based on her travel. On a side note, getting N-648 approved is not simple, even with a lawyer. You need a lot of medical proof over extended period of time. It is a lot easier getting exceptions listed below for English language part: - Age 50 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident (Green Card holder) in the United States for 20 years (commonly referred to as the “50/20” exception). OR - Age 55 or older at the time of filing for naturalization and have lived as a permanent resident in the United States for 15 years (commonly referred to as the “55/15” exception).
