Citizenship

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The minimum stay in the US is at least half the time in the five years prior to the time that the naturalization application is filed. I note that even with the minimum, immigration officers may still give you a difficult time if they believe that you have not maintained residence in the US. The fact that you stay less than six months outside the US on your trips is only one factor. For example, a pattern of staying outside the US and only coming in for a few weeks or so between your trips outside could be seen as an abuse of your residence status.

How long is the waiting period to petition for a spouse as a US citizen?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Marie Andree Michaud (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Marie Michaud, Attorney At Law
It takes about 6 months for the petition to be approved. Once the petition is approved, the file is forwarded to the National Visa Center who will request for the visa fee, then forms + original documents. Once everything is received at the NVC, the case will be scheduled for an interview in Manila. Expects at least 9-10 months from start to finish, more if the paperwork was not done correctly, and the USCIS and or NVC asks for more documents because something was missing in the packet.
