Am about to submit my N-400 today, but something's bothering me to which I'll explain below. Basically, I'm eligible for Naturalization already based on my situation, and here's the breakdown:
- Became a Lawful Resident/GC holder in 2007
- Filed a Re-entry Permit in 2008 and left the US from 2008 to 2010
- Went back to the US (and surrendered my Re-entry Permit) in November 2010. Been staying here as lawful resident since, but I've travelled to other countries that didn't last for more than 6 months.
Since having a Re-entry gives you the advantage to wait for 4 years (instead of 5) to apply for Naturalization, I figured I'd be OK with my application since I met all the requirements needed.
HOWEVER! I mentioned earlier that I surrendered my Re-entry Permit to the immigration officer upon entering 4 years ago, and I don't have any "proof" or documents that pertains to my Re-entry permit. So my questions is: Will my application be OK, considering that I've met the 4 year rule/requirement even though I have no visible proof of my Re-entry Permit? I mean, what if they ask to bring some proof during the interview or something?
Thanks so much for your time, fellow reader; any help would be greatly appreciated.
