Experience the Joy of Group Travel The More the Merrier!
Local guides know their stuff. Taking a tour of the local attractions in any country can give visitors a deeper understanding and connection to the culture. However, if you don’t know where to find those local attractions, guiding yourself through a city or town might deprive you of insider knowledge or interesting details. With managed group travel, the tours are already arranged for you to enjoy, with local guides who know the best places to visit for an authentic experience. Some groups even employ scholars to travel with you to provide interesting lectures and tours. Group travel is an easy way to make new friends. When you meet with your travel group at your destination, you’ve automatically made new friends you’ll get to know over the upcoming days. Meeting new people can be challenging in our normal lives due to our routines, but a managed travel group creates a close-knit environment where you spend
Now that most countries have returned to their pre-COVID travel norms, taking a jaunt around the globe is a great way to take a much-needed break. But doing it alone can seem overwhelming, especially when it comes to planning the details of a trip. That’s why managed travel groups have become popular among middle-aged adults. And no matter which travel agency or website you book through, traveling with a group offers many benefits you can’t get if you go alone. Here are a few! Trip planning becomes stress-free. Traveling abroad can be exhilarating, but planning the details of your trip can be daunting. Flights, hotels, and local attractions all require research and individual reservations, so all the moving parts may be difficult to keep track of — and even more expensive. With managed group tours, the price you pay for the trip includes all those pesky planning details.
enough time with people to bond, laugh, and share a few stories.
Set a budget, and stick to it. Most travel companies charge an upfront price that encompasses all the expenses you’d typically spend during your trip, including flights, hotels, and activities. This means that when you shop for a group trip to book, you can decide how much you want to spend ahead of time. You never have to worry about going over budget and finding a surprise on your credit card bill.
Pack Your Belongings — We’re Going Abroad! Travel With a Pending Naturalization Application
Because of this, you can travel without any restrictions — even if you have a naturalization (N-400) application pending. However, you must consider residence and physical presence requirements. For any trip you make (outside of the U.S.), ensure it doesn’t supersede 180 days (six months). This number includes all the trips you make outside the country combined. If you accrue more than 180 days outside the U.S., the USCIS will presume you disrupted your continuous residence requirement and deny your N-400. When you apply for naturalization, you must prove to an immigration agent that you have lived and are currently residing in the U.S. Those applying for naturalization based on five years as a permanent resident must show they have lived in America for at least 30 months. Those applying for naturalization based on three years as a permanent resident as a qualified spouse
of a U.S. citizen must prove they have been living in the U.S. for at least 18 months.
Furthermore, while you don’t have to worry about travel restrictions, ensure your journey doesn’t impede or overlap with your naturalization appointments. If you fail to appear for your biometrics appointment, naturalization interview, or oath ceremony to become a U.S. citizen officially, your N-400 application will be denied. The best rule of thumb is to be cautious when planning to travel while your naturalization application is pending.
