Hello..It's been a long while since I visited but I just found out yesterday I need some advice!! I am citizen and spouse has GC based on marriage (20 years). He's been a resident for 5 years but he'd applied to become citizen based on our marriage. Anyway, smooth sailing so far. Got the...

Hi All~ Just saw a grey-ish quesiton for us. On the N-400 it asks if you ever failed to file a required Federal State or Local Tax return. My spouse applied for GC in February 2009 and became a PR in August 2009. Therefore, his first tax return filed as a GC holder was the 2009 year. He had...

Hi- I just wanted to ask from you experts. My spouse has a GC and I am US citizen. He has his card for 3 years exactly now and could have applied for citizenship 3 years - 90 days. We have not done so yet-just very busy and no real rush but also because I had filed for an extension (October...

My spouse applied for RE permit in the fall 2010, after us being out of the US due to his ill parent for about 3 months....His application for permit for reasons of an ill parent. Within a few weeks of applying our own child was not doing well either medically, so we stayed in the US since...

My husband is GC holder and has RE permit. Due to child illness and his father's death, we have not had time to prepare our taxes yet or at least with out rushing like fools. If we file for an extension, is he considered 'late' when he goes to apply to become a citizen should he go that route...

My spouse applied for REP, did Biometrics, etc and then we were out of country due to his sick parent. We were gone for about 2 months...We came back to the US for 2 weeks and had some routine testing for our daughter done (who also has a medical issue) and she has some things going on as well...

Hi~ I have been reading some past threads/recent threads about RE permit. I am wondering this: Spouse (GC Holder- marriage) and self (USC) left the country on Sept 5 and we returned back on October 15. His father is not doing so well medically at all-we may go back next week probably until...

I have read a big no-no about filing the NR tax form. But, my question is this: 1.How would it work if one was physically present say in 2008 (but not yet applied for residence-only taxed due to presence b/c was in US on B2)-That year would be a NR correct? 2. IF one applied for a GC in...

Not sure if you were speaking to me...and grateful for you being a volunteer moderator..BUT wouldn't it makes sense to provide an answer instead of a smart comment? Sometimes a thread is started, and it has many veins to it that branch off into somewhat related questions. It is not a case of...

Jack, etc. Had a death/funeral in the family so just getting back to this RE permit/travel frame of mind.. It did not work out how we planned it to (probably would have applied for RE but the funeral, etc really took all of our time/preference.) But, we are leaving the US on Sunday and plan to...

I was wondering-if one applies for the RE permit with the GC..and in the end we found out maybe we should return it due to having to be out more than thought/expected or not meeting requirements, that will not be a problem. The main problem is we have a terminally ill parent (FIL) abroad and...

Once you apply for citizenship, you obviously have to have the 18 month (for 3 year ) to meet physical presence. Are you allowed to travel again once you make this application or are you pretty much required to stay in the US once you do this? Continuous presence will not be a problem but...

Can you guys tell me if there is any requirement as well if you are changing your address- Does the USCIS count it as the date they received it? Therefore, would one have to be in the country on that date or receipt or can I just mail it out and then travel? THanks! v

I think I am so tired I cannot think. When one applies for USC via marriage-you need 50% of past 3 years. So if one were to get the G/C in Feb 2008-should be able to apply 3 years later... (Feb 2011) Question is this~ How does it work...if one does not have enough physical presence in that...

Hello...I need some help. My husband is going to change his address (and me) like license, mail, etc to our new place. Hopefully we do this tomorrow. NOW, he also needs to reapply for a reentry permit since he we are planning to travel next week. Hoping to do the RE Permit tomorrow as well...

Four questions~(all related) 1. Am going to switch/change our address since we just rented our house out (and we are renting/tennants in another state). I was going through paperwork, and was wondering...IS the address WHERE they mailed the GC the address they have on file to date? For some...

I have a question. I have a friend who after he/wife being a PR for about 15 years, became a USC. He did...She still has GC and out of US and the 2 year RE permit almost done. Anyway, he had told me once..'Fly though JFK..less hassles/Immigration issues than a smaller city airport like Newark...

Hello. This is an odd(yet another) question. My husband LPR and I USC own a home together. His drivers license is set to expire in about 2+ weeks. We will be applying for the RE permit and we most likely anticipate some more than usual travel out of the US in the next year... My question is...

Question: Today my spouse took a trip out of the US to visit his dad who has cancer-probably will be gone +/- one week. Anyway, I was the one who booked the ticket and booked a one way ticket as we needed to wait and see how the father procedure went before booking the return (otherwise you...

This board has me thinking. I (USC)have PR status in another country since 1995 or something. My husband is now a GC holder here. I had asked the attorney if this matters or do I need to get rid of that and was told it should not. I have since applied for citizenship there based on...
