Hi Yolka,

Congratulations!!

If you don't mind, did the CO question you about your recent exit / entry stamp on your passport?

Kindly let me know.

Thanks,

Yes, at the interview I was asked about my exit/entry stamps. I live abroad right now and told her about that too. She did not comment on any of that, just took notes. Oh, she also asked when I am going back, I gave her the date.

One more thing, I traveled only once (for 5 days to US) before I applied for my citizenship and also told her about that. In fact she asked if I have traveled during the three year (out of 4) of my residency.

Wow, lucky you! have you traveled outside? before/after applying for citizenship? I hope I won't get RQ because of living abroad :-(

Yes, I was out of the country for almost 6 months a few years ago.
I got RQ before test and it was processed according to the ATIP notes. I guess since it was processed and they have looked at all evident I sent so questions were no more necessary. I was actually interviewed by the same officer who processed by RQ.

I hope you don't get RQ either.

Hi Yolka,

Appreciate your response a lot. One more question please - So did you travel / had absences during the FOUR year period? If yes, approx. how many times and days did you travel please?

Thanks and Regards,
