Can I apply for US citizenship five years from the date of my entry to the US, not five years from the date of issuance of my green card?

Answered by attorney David H Stoller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Stoller & Moreno, P.A.
Thanks for your inquiry. The date that is used to count the time to obtain the necessary period of years for purposes of naturalization is the "resident since" date on your green card. If there is a problem with that date because of a miscalculation owing to someone at CIS not figuring out the right effective date of your residency, you want to make sure that you have that squared away before spending the money on the N-400 only to be told that you missed the deadline and filed too early. My recommendation would be a visit to an experienced attorney who should be able to straighten that out for you ahead of time and save the worry about submitting payment to CIS to process an application that will not be refunded if you did not calculate correctly. Good luck.

What does a pin number given to an illegal immigrant mean?

Answered by attorney Marie Andree Michaud (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Marie Michaud, Attorney At Law
Do you mean PIN as in Tax ID number (the nine-digit starting with 9)? If so, there is nothing wrong with it. It can be used to file taxes if the person does not have a SSN.

What can be done to save my friend from getting deported?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
If there is already an order of removal/deportation, it may be too late to save him. When did the Immigration Judge order his removal? He only has 30 days from the date of the Immigration Judge's order to file an appeal with the BIA. Why is he being deported? How long has he been in the U.S.? Does he have a criminal history? Was he here illegally? Did he overstay his visa? Did he have an attorney represent him in the removal hearing at Immigration Court? Does he have family in the U.S. that are either U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent Residents? These are all questions that need to be answered before I can give you a viable answer to your question.
