Hey guys,

Hope you are all doing well. While browsing the forum today, it has come to my attention that I have missed mentioning Flagpole dates in my Citizenship Presence Calculation. It completely slipped my mind. If I remember, I have done 'Flagpoling' twice. Once during my post graduation work permit extension and the other during my PR landing process.

During both the cases, I have not entered USA as I didnt have a visa and was given an administrative refusal. Both the processes went smoothly.

Now I have read other threads where similar situations were mentioned but almost all have replied that this isnt an issue and just be prepared to answer about the stamps during the interview.

I am known to get worried over the simplest things and right now I am worried as I am scared that the application may get returned. or may introduce certain complications and delay the application.

My application was received on May 10th 2019. I am still waiting for the AOR.

Please advice. Much appreciated.
 
I don't think it really matters as you were in Canada for those days, you merely left for less than an hour in both cases, so they would count that you were in Canada. Any way I forgot an entire trip because I thought it wasn't in my eligibility period when in fact it was. They just had me translate those stamps as they were in a different language, and said it's fine since I had many more days than needed.

Was it during the application process, they asked for the translation of the stamps?
Yes, I also have more days than needed so I am hoping all goes well.

No, at the interview. So it's not a big deal in my opinion.
 
I don't think it's a big deal either. It doesn't affect your physical presence day. And you mentioned you have more than enough days. Relax. It will probably come up during the interview, but you'll be fine.
