“Work” doesn’t have to be paid to count as work. I don’t know how this specific issue would be looked at, but just to highlight that whether or not you received payment is not the defining factor. That said, I don’t know if your friends would count as an “employer”. You may want to consult your college’s international student office for advice about this.
I called again and connected with a different agent. Apparently, there was a misunderstanding. The request for a new biometric appointment was rejected because the appointment is actually scheduled for April 3rd.
I'm not surprised. Anyway, hope you know you can reschedule the bio appointment online on your own to an earlier date as against waiting until 4/3.
I haven't received my biometric notice. Do I need it on the day of my biometric appointment, or can I go without it? Apparently, appointments for rescheduling are available every day starting tomorrow—should I wait for my notice?
4/3 is too far. I recommend you to reschedule the appointment through uscis website and you get the notice letter within minutes. You must bring the letter with you to the appointment.
Hi , can you tell me where to pay the DV fee, the $330
Okay, thank you! I have rescheduled for March 19.
Current address.
You need to follow the instructions provided by your congress person's office - take a look at their website. I have no idea as to the process put in place by your specific congressman/woman.
Did you you take advantage of early filing option? Or waited to send your AOS package until your CN was current?
How long have you been on your F1? You can file 1040 if you have been in the US for 5 years. I made the same mistake for tax year 2023 (first time filing taxes), I amended it with an accountant before sending my AOS package. You can still amend yours, get ready to pay alot of money man

Came here in 2022, filed in 2022 2023 and 2024. So is it "must" or did you do it for caution?How long have you been on your F1? You can file 1040 if you have been in the US for 5 years.

I found out about this mistake after 4/15, so I payed what I owed AND penalty fees. It was a hefty amount.
Both. I think since you filed 1040 you got a refund for all these years? But chances are with 1040NR you actually owe IRS some money which you must pay. I'm not an expert, but in my case, and for the second year in a row, I owe IRS some $. Find a good accountant who has some expertise with non-resident alien taxes and let them do it at this point. I don't recommend doing the amendment forms yourself.
Oh, I see. Some of my friends said they did the same before and still got their GC, and after while before their citizenship application they paid back somehow. I don't have time now, probably if they paid me more I may not have that much money though... I was thinking to complete this process without any trouble, and later I can correct what is needed. If this is a reason for denial, then I must find out something...
I'll leave the denial thing for the experts here. Personally, I don't think it's a ground for denial, especially if you bring the fixed tax transcripts to the interview and show good intent. But as I said, you must act on it. The sooner the better. With a AOS case or not.
