Practical caution
Immigration and naturalization procedures are decided through the actual facts of each case. Similar-looking cases can have different outcomes depending on residence history, family records, public-payment records, income, job duties, documents, and timing. Before filing, it is important to confirm not only the formal requirement but also how the facts will be explained.
