Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum but haven't seen the info I need in the searches. I'm applying for naturalisation and see three potential pitfalls.
1. 2010-2011 my mother became ill and I had to spend significant time outside the US:
1 month August 2010
4 months Nov-March 2010-2011
5 months March 2011 - August 2011
The periods were broken up with brief (one month or less) trips back to the US. So in a 12 month period (aug-aug) I have been away for 10 months. But less than 6 months in each sitting. I obviously haven't stayed employed because it wasn't possible for my boss to accomodate - I kept my taxes, bank accounts and address mostly constant.
Does this render me ineligible??
2.My driver's license was suspended for failing to maintain insurance (after I sold my car, oops)...Do I put this on my app? I've never had a ticket or appeared in court / been warned or arrested.
3. I forgot to change my address for one of the places I lived (temporarily for 2 months). I did change it on my Driver's license so there is a record, will this cause my app to be rejected? I know it breaks one of the GC holder rules.
4. Anyone know how long it takes from time of app to getting a passport? (realistic as opposed to listed which I already checked). I have to make another long trip home to help my mum again and I'm not rich enough to keep buying tickets!!!
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.
