A USCIS policy manual update has clarified the effect of long absences from the U.S. on continuous residency.

On February 26, USCIS published an update to the policy manual. The update clarified that applicants absent from the U.S. for more than 6 months but less than a year must overcome the presumption that they have broken the continuity of residence in the U.S. It also clarifies that if continuity of residence is broken, the applicant must establish a new period of residency before applying for citizenship. These requirements already existed but have now been clarified in the policy manual.

There is a very unusual way for someone to become a Lawful Permanent Resident

There is a very unusual way for someone to become a Lawful Permanent Resident. Here is the scenario: 1) A child is born to a Lawful Permanent resident outside of the U.S. ; 2) This child is brought to the U.S. BEFORE the age of 2; and 3) The child is brought into the U.S. by the Lawful Permanent Resident parent on that parent’s FIRST entry to the U.S. When this happens CBP and the point of entry will declare the child to be a Lawful Permanent Resident.

A new case

A new case. The BIA is reversed and person is eligible for a Waiver:
Aliens who were not eligible for legal permanent resident status–but who unknowingly obtained that status through the criminal conspiracy of a former officer of the INS–were removable but were eligible to seek a waiver of inadmissibility under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1182(k). BIA erred in construing the statute as precluding waiver based on alien’s possession of invalid visa.
