wishing you goodluck and a hasslefree process.. and I hope it goes well for you too..

While it may be easy but in my experience with GC... it was hasslefree with an immigration attorney and it saves time and time costing mistakes hence its worth it but thats my personal opinion from experience..

Thankyou. I greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot

Any suggestions for a good immigration attorney in Orlando FL for applying for N400( citizenship )..?

When does one know or recieve NOA from USCIS of the exact interview date after filing N400 online ... is it after NOA for biometrics that they send another NOA for interview date or do they let you know in the NOA immdiately after filing online or does one recieve NOA a few weeks after filing N400 of their biometrics with exact interview date... that way its easy if there are any emergency international trips that may come up if you have exact interview date given by USCIS...

Oh ok..

Even if one takes the tests succesfully, is it not required that the individual be of sound mind without any mental illness.. they count depression as mental illness when a person goes to a doctor and is diagnosed

Oh ok thankyou so much

Oh.. what is form N648 something he mentioned.. Thankyou for the reply.. poor guy looks very stressed about that

A family member who is eligible for naturalisation a few months from now has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder which is termed as mental illness. However he is undergoing treatment for the same with a psychiatrist. He has no other health issues nor is he on benefits or any such and never has been and clean medical history What are his chances of becoming a citizen when he applies....

Have you seen 2 years waiting time just to get visit visa before...?

How long is the current wait time in India when you apply for DS-160.. and how long did you have to wait to get an interview date

Oh wow... yeah.., no one in their right mind would hope to get approved after 800 days of absence. Not sure if any such instances are there but your words give me much hope for my situation. I deeply appreciate it but you know anything concerning immigration is always stressful cuz regardless of what rules and conditions their website says.., in reality they have a mind of their own and its very unpredictable... in my experience.. one should not expect that CBP at the POE will entertain anything unless there is any documentaional proof.. and yeah not having any definate set of days that you can stay out of the US without worring about losing your LPR status is worrisome all the way...

Hey Mike, while you maybe correct why CBP always stops me for second questioning and that gets me very anxious to travel outside the US even though its not vacation but very necessary trips considering my mom's health. What are your thoughts on chances of being denied citizenship as one has spend 8-9 months in total outside of US soil but no trip exceeding 6 months any any time... do you know of anyone who got denied citizenship on these basis even though they have spent less than 1 year abroad...

Thanks a lot.

Oh wow.. thats good to know but i will apply for naturalisation in 6 months.. but its good to know that theres something like global entry.. thanks a lot. Also thankyou for sharing about Miami CBP. Appreciate that. Adjust status not immigration visa

and i dont know what global entry is.. can you please elaborate a bit on that

They generally are not so intimidating at second questioning with my GC but Tacoma WA CBP in my opinion is very intimidating , never had any problem at EWR, JFK, MCO or even preclearance at Abu Dhabi ( Abu Dhabi was the best by far ). My GC was marriage based but due to some issues im gonna apply for naturalisation the 5 year route and will finish that by march 2023... Since my first and worst experience with CBP.., i generally get nervous to fly out of the US but this time around.., i have to tend to my very serious sick mom who is suffering from blood cancer .. so even though i know that in 5 years i cant spend more than 180 days abroad if i want to naturalise.., i have to fly out but im gonna carry all her original prescriptions and test reports back with me just in case Miami CBP acts up..

Hey Mike.. just read on another post and appreciate your knowledge on Best POE's however Im flying out of Miami for the 10 days trip and they always stop me for second questioning...just to be sure wanna know about how is Miami CBP... any suggestions ? Would be greatly appreciated as its giving me anxiety.. had bad experience in the past dealing with very intimidating CBP at Tacoma WA airport....

Appreciate your quick response 👍

Thankyou Mike, i contacted so many immigration attorneys to ask my question but they all want 200$ to take my phone call... another question.. any idea if the CBP Let me in at the port of entry since my return has been less than 4 months ago ? And im applying on 5 year rule

Thanks

From Jan 2022 to Jan 2023.., finished 208 days total outside the US in 2 seperate trips each lasting less than 180 days ( 43 days first time and 165 days the second trip due to mom suffereing from cancer and lives alone ). About to apply for naturalisation in December based on 4 year 9 months rule of GC. Have to make another short 10 day trip to check on mom's health/ cancer status. Will it make me ineligible for applying for naturalisation since it will add 10 more days to my already exceeded timeline outside the US? Any guidance will be truely appreciated.
