Complex file review - Citizenship Interview

[dpenabill]

I referred to it as an analogy.

I assume you missed that. Or are not familiar with how analogies work - they're like something else, but also different. Because yes, it is not 'about' the standard of proof, but in some way is, IMO, comparable enough to the concept of standard of proof to be useful.

Or not. And if one does not think an analogy useful, one can just pass it by and avoid writing obtuse and tendentious ten-page screeds.

Your assumption is erroneous.

As for your opinion, well, probably good that you admit it's opinion, thus FWIW (regarding which I will withhold my opinion of its worth, consistent with my effort to focus on information more than opinion).

I do not need repeated advice about what information to share. I do wonder, however, why you repeat the vitriolic characterizations (if the object is to insult, I got that twenty or thirty slurs ago) . . . and "tendentious," really? Hard, very hard, to grasp how observations about the difference between what underlies decisions to increase the level of inquiry/investigation, versus what guides outcome decision-making, involves partisan bias or is a controversial position.

If you are not interested in better understanding the important difference between routine administrative processing (which most of the forum is about and which I do not address much anymore) versus adjudicative administrative proceedings (which has been my focus here for a number of years, largely limited to issues involving PRs at risk for negative dispositions), that's your choice, not mine. I was, after all, explicitly posting for "those who offer informational help here . . ."

By the way, unlike my previous post (which was to address the misinformation referenced in quotes, again for "those who offer informational help here"), this part is for you:

As an analogy, describing the level of scrutiny and standard of proof as analogous badly misses the point, confuses what invites investigatory processing (elevated scrutiny) versus decision-making guidelines, especially in regards to RO compliance.​

How many days/how frequently did your wife visit? Obviously your quick trips into Canada to count days towards RO while staying in the US don’t look great especially if done fairly frequently. Were you working in Canada for a Canadian employer during the 3 years? The request for an in person interview makes a lot more sense. Another reason IRCC may be unwilling to delay your interview because you are waiting for h4 and don’t want to leave the US . All you can do is ask and see what happens.

She visited me once every 3 or 4 months and stayed about 2 weeks each time. But quick trips into Canada are about 5/6 times in whole 3 years. Yes, I work for canadian employer. At this point, I am planning to attend the interview without requesting for anything. Thank you!

How did the interview went?

How did the interview went?

Officer told me she will review the file and let me know if any information is required in about couple of weeks. Asked questions about my absences and our plan to live in Canada if my wife's permit gets extended in the US. Also asked that I applied with just 5 buffer days. Overall...too many questions. I am hoping for the best.

What were the questions about your absences?

Did she specifically asked about the absences they said you did not declared?
I just want to know if you had in fact not declared some absences or if it was a mistake on their side

She did not ask anything particularly about discrepancy. Looks like i have 1100 in their system from what she mentioned i applied with just 5 days over the requirement. I declared 1102. That was a mistake on their system those 2 days were incorrectly captured as absences. There wasn't any discussion about that. She asked why I was absent from canada for longer periods during 2020-2022 and after applying. And what's the plan if my wife's permit gets extended in US. She also asked about police clearance certificate from US if I submitted. I asked if it is required, she said if I stayed 180 days in US in last 4 years then it is required. But I did not stay 180 days in a row in US as I went to India for over a month during that period. So, I did not submit that. This was the first question she asked. So, if they ask for that I will have to provide that.

At the end, she said she need to review my file and will let me know if any additional information is required.
