OK,  as far page 22 goes in the naturalization guide, it states: What if I was outside the US for between 6 and 12 months? \nIf you leave the US for more than 6 months, but less than 1 year, you have broken or disrupted your continuous residence.What is messed up about this is that all the time she accumulated prior to her trip,after the date she became a permanent resident, goes down the tubes! However , those eleven months outside now count as time she is re-accumulating back here,since her return! I  take it you guys are married at least three years otherwise she will not be eligible. Let's say she returned today, she can start counting form tomorrow! So when will she be eligible again?\n 2 Years and 1 month from tomorrow's date! Get it!  That's pretty harsh, I know!\n   It is just as  important to keep track of both physical presence and continuous residence. Physical presence involves the total number of days you were outside the US on ALL of your trips. Continuous residence involves the total number of days you were outside the US in a SINGLE TRIP! In all she has to accumulate at least 3 years because she is married to you (A US CITIZEN) In general, do not stay outside of the US for more than 6 months!

Contact the consulate again  and they will help you!!!! However I encourage your daughter to wait until she is of legal age!!! She is still a child and it is hard enough to take on the new role of mother plus now a wife too!!!\nSounds like a recipe for divorce in a few years from now!!\n\n\nRemember that is only my opinion on marriage for the young!!!  I do not know what your personal beliefs might be and I would not wish to disrespect any of your cultural traditions or religious beliefs!!\n\nGood Luck and may your grandchild be wonderful!

so your saying she is an illegal alien and shes been living in the us for 16 years and she has not been able to apply for permanent stautus. Well then if your married and smart you should go to on base llegal on camp lejeune or pendelton to gop see a immigration attorney for free that way your visa for your wife is alot faster to process. You must be a citizen to claim your wife, the attorney will make you pay $200.00 for getting your paper work started by filling out a I-130 relative position, the faster you do it the better it gets, theres more to cover so feel free to email me good luck

because to become legal it cost over 10,000 and you need proof that you have like 98,000 in the bank for a family of three (to live off of for three years while looking for work).  not to mention that if you aren't related to someone, then you just have to wait for a random draw for your visa.\n\nillegals definitely should not stay, but it should be a lot cheaper to get into our country.

If you are a US citizen you can sponsor her through marriage  and the process would take from 6 to 8 months for her to get her Green Card, the best thing is that you sound you have a legit relationship and if that's the case you shouldn't have any problem getting approved, so she don't have to leave the country.\n\nGood luck!

you can probably file and appeal, but it's too late marry a US citizen. The best you can do if you are looking to stay in the country is seek professional legal advice. Once you are deported you will be entered a black list which prohibits you from reentering the US for at least 10 years

Yes, by the way you will get the rest in a lump check so just hang in there. I have had friends that waited 13 months to get their back check. Take care!

Yes, I am going through a similar situation. Your question has really scared me.  April 05?!? My husband, from Mexico, just applied in September of this year.  Was your wife in the country illegally or is she currently? That would delay things, right?

It is likely that your application won't be approved until after 01 July 2006. This is because there is a quota of visas to be granted every year from 01 July - 30 June, once this quota is full no more visas can be granted until the new migration year, i.e. 01 July. You just need to be patient. The only other thing you can do is email your case officer and make sure they have everything you have sent and that nothing further is required for your application.

depends where you live......look at the timetables at www.uscis.gov

More info required, before even a comment could be offered. Suggest you refer a good attorney, a.s.a.p., like maybe yesterday, so that the statuate of limitations, if applicable in your case does not come into force\n\nst/

If you are an immigrant and are planning to go back, then you may want to take it out, coz becoming debt free should be your primary goal. But if you are a citizen, a greencard holder or planning to continue to stay here. Please leave it there. Its very great that you have started with your IRA fund. I would not take it out.

It should not be too hard, people that come from other countries usually get waited on hand and foot...She probably wont have to pay taxes for a few years either.

eventually she will have to end it, beter now than later when she is older and when it will be harder to move back to the states. \n\nyou will just have to tell her and help her thru it, no beating around the Bush (no offense mr FBI man watchin what i type)
