Simple English definitions for legal terms

noncitizen

Read a random definition: Par value

A quick definition of noncitizen:

Noncitizen: A person who is not a citizen of a specific place. This means they do not have the same rights and privileges as citizens of that place. Another word for noncitizen is alien.

Nonclaim: When a person does not take action to assert their legal right within a certain time limit, they are said to have a nonclaim. This means they are no longer able to pursue that right in court. The time limit is set by the statute of limitations.

A more thorough explanation:

A noncitizen is a person who is not a citizen of a particular place. This means that they do not have the legal rights and privileges that citizens have. Another word for noncitizen is alien.

  • An immigrant who has not yet obtained citizenship in the United States is a noncitizen.
  • A tourist visiting a foreign country is also a noncitizen because they are not a citizen of that country.

These examples illustrate the definition of noncitizen because they both describe people who do not have citizenship in a particular place. As a result, they may not have access to certain benefits or protections that citizens have.

Nonclaim refers to a person's failure to pursue a right within the legal time limit. This means that if someone does not take action to assert their rights within a certain period of time, they may be barred from doing so in the future. Nonclaim is often associated with the statute of limitations, which sets a deadline for filing certain types of legal claims.

If someone is injured in a car accident, they may have a legal right to seek compensation from the other driver. However, if they wait too long to file a claim, they may be barred from doing so under the statute of limitations. This is an example of nonclaim because the person failed to pursue their right to compensation within the legal time limit.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
