This is really old -- 2011. On the surface, this case seems to be about not having met the physical presence requirement by less than 90 days. But we don't know all the facts. It's possible that USCIS does not believe OP has maintained their primary residence in the USA during the preceding...

Note that the LPR renewed their re-entry permit three times -- which clearly established the LPR's intent to reside in the U.S. and maintain their LPR status. This is not such an extreme, or even uncommon, case.

I have done considerable research on U.S. citizenship cases. In all my research, I have never come across a case of an applicant whose application was denied solely for being less than 90 days short on the physical presence requirement. That does not mean that a case where other issues are...

It has been my experience that, when it comes to consumer products, the U.S. and Canadian governments operate on very different philosophies. The Canadian Government's approach is to distrust consumers and require proof of eligibility, which proof Government diligently verifies. If there is any...

The U.S. is not a stickler for the exact number of days of physical presence, in order to qualify for citizenship. The U.S. is far more concerned that the applicant has met the "spirit of the law", in that the U.S. was their primary place of residence; as opposed to the "letter of the law"...

As a multinational who has travelled much, I have always known that an accurate record of all my travels, and the exact dates I entered and exited each country, were of the utmost importance. I do not remember when I learnt to do this or what the source of that knowledge was. But ever since I...

I get this disdain too. And when I'm asked why I live in Canada, the CPB officer's attitude is often of the "why would anyone want to live anywhere but America if they had a choice" variety. The "welcome home" bit is odd too, since I've already told them I live in Canada and am entering to go to...

I totally agree with your assessment, dpenabill. This is true because of the policy pursued by the last several presidential administrations. It should be noted that it is no guarantee that current, or future, administrations shall maintain the current policy. Should the policy change, and...

The "correct" answer at the U.S. border is, "I am a U.S. citizen." CBP officers can get quite cross if you don't answer their questions the way they want you to. As a general rule of thumb, one does not want to provoke, or make cross, any American law enforcement officer. Canada has access to...

That is correct, you should only present a U.S. passport while within the U.S., whether entering or leaving. If boarding a flight, while situate in the U.S., requires a foreign passport, then you should present both passports to the airline. But at TSA and other airport checkpoints (before...

You should enter Canada on your Canadian passport only. CBSA may ask if you're a dual citizen, but it's extremely unlikely they will ask to see your American passport. You should enter America ONLY on your U.S. passport (unless specifically asked to present foreign travel documents, in which...

Careful you don't do yourself an injury. :cool:

It very likely will.

Was it a passport, certificate of identity, or a refugee travel document?

What kind of travel document was it and was it issued by Canada?

Then don't.

I wouldn't presume to make any assumptions. I have no idea what you are talking about.

You are making quite a few assumptions. With no facts to support your accusations, not even OP's own words, you have accused OP of tax evasion and fraud.

I would strongly recommend against publishing these forms on a public forum.

That is pure foolishness! The taxes paid on wages are significantly higher than the corporate tax rate. If anything, a business person would take a small wage, so as to lower their tax burden.
