Travel while citizenship/naturalization pending
I am currently a GC holder and have resided in the US for 30 month out of 5 years. I will be eligible to file my Citizenship (N400) paperwork next month. Once I have filed my application for Citizenship, can I leave the US and travel to Canada to visit my daughter? I was planning to be out of the US in Canada for 3 months. Will it be ok or me to leave the US once I have filed my application or Citizenship? or should wait to file upon return back from Canada?. Do I need to live continuously in the US while my application for Citizenship is in process?
Temporary absence of three months while your citizenship application is pending should not pose a problem as long as you remain a permanent resident of USA.
I received my H1B Extension as well as my wife’s extension of stay with Rena Waddell, Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, P.C. Rena Waddell is an expert on immigration laws and we never got any problem or incompletion about the paperwork done under her supervision. She is very co-operative and would return calls & emails promptly. We are greatly pleased with her as far as her professionalism, courtesy and promptness throughout my H1B Renewal Process. We are very Thankful to Rajiv and his Staff.
