N-400的烏龍 - 移民

話說我到了差不多可以申請歸化的時間了
結果搞了個烏龍...

用USCIS上的計算器來算，可以申請的時間（90天前）是12/04/2012（星期二）
所以我在十一月底填好表，準備好資料，寄出，
預計從芝加哥寄送到Phoenix處理中心，約三天會到
沒想到這次郵差太有效率，11/30（星期五）他們就收到了！！

這段時間一直沒有任何消息，本以為只是動作稍慢
今天（12/17）卻收到一個USCIS寄來的信封...把我的申請表退回來

一打開就是怵目驚心一張亮綠色的通知（耶誕節？！）
寫著他們拒絕我的申請，理由請看I-797

還寫說重新送申請時，請把這張通知放在表格最上面，
這樣就會「得到特別的注意」（誰要啊？！）

附上的I-797上，除了引述條文（90天的規定）之外
拒絕理由就是我太早提出申請了（下面會附上原文）

這張I-797通知是12/11打的，打通知時我已經符合資格了啊...T_T
所以，就算只是早兩天(2 business days) 還是有可能被打回來還浪費更多時間的
也許只是我倒楣，不過還是寫下來給大家參考參考

I-797原文：（可直接跳到後面看黃色的字）

This is in reference to the N-400, Application for Naturalization, you
submitted. Your N-400 is being returned to you for the following reason(s):

Part 2 of the Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, Information about
your eligibility, shows that you are seeking naturalization based on either:

a. Section 316(a) - been a lawful permanent resident for five (5) years, or
b. Section 319(a) - been a lawful permanent resident for at least three (3)
years and have been married to a United States citizen for those three
years

Section 334(a) of the Act states, in pertinent part:

"In the case of an applicant subject to a requirement of continuous residence
under section 316(a) or 319(a), the application for naturalization may be
filed up to 90 days before the date the applicant would first otherwise meet
such continuous residence requirement."

The information provided with your application indicates you have filed
your application more than 90 days before meeting the residency requirement
for the category selected. Therefore, you are ineligible to file for
naturalization at this time under the category selected.


我選的是拿到綠卡滿五年
