I've been a citizen for 9 years now and this is my third summon... Wtf? First summon was within a couple of weeks of becoming a citizen, literally within a couple of weeks in accuracy, I get summoned every three years (the minimum) Is this normal? NC = naturalized citizen NB = natural born citizen
I think I saw you at this jury summons. Were you in Santa Clara?
No lol, do you get it every three years as well?
Can anyone tell me what are these summons? I am new to US.
You are called to serve on the jury of court cases. You tell a judge whether you think someone is guilty or not
Oh Jury, I got it, is it a duty as citizen of United States? Do you need any specific qualification?
Last one I got was over 10 years ago 😂
So jealous, I never get picked, but have to sit there and listen to the most insane crimes out there every few years
Do your duty to society. Keep the criminals away from us. 😊
I never get picked to stay, just candidate for a day. I'm glad though, the last one involved child slave trafficking.... Didn't even know that was a problem in my state (southeast us)
I was summoned for a jury duty 5 years back.
Was the case interesting?
I've had one every year...
I have never been summoned, but I remember my parents being summoned when I was a kid. You got me thinking, is this randomized or is it according to some specific groups? Perhaps home owners or within some age group?
I found if you're within a certain age, you're more likely to get picked to stay (I haven't yet, mostly señor citizens). Also if you're a woman, you're more likely to not get picked to stay for violent crimes or crimes of sexual nature. If you're a mom possibly a dad, they don't want you on crimes with children. But this is up to the discretion of the judge and I guess lawyers, who try to generalize.
Right, that is common practice. However, I was asking about the initial summon. Like how is it that you were summoned so frequently and I have never been summoned?
You can return your citizenship within 5 years if you have the original receipt!😜
Unfortunately it's still way more convenient to be a citizen than even GC
It’s your civic duty.
Fully aware... Just irritated I get this like clockwork
It’s supposed to be a good thing you “get” to do.
