I do not think the USCIS cares who is paying as long as it is paid for. If you want to relax more, send a money order. THis is from www.uscis.gov "Fees are accepted in the form of money order, personal check or cashiers check only. Checks should be made payable to Department of Homeland...

Goodluck finding it. Most of the time what you need to do in this circumstance is to make an infopass appointment. Not sure why she did not tell you what to bring along. But then with the USCIS, nothing is surprising.

You can travel. Just remember that the oath letter arrives sometimes as little as two weeks before the oath. The only problem here is you risk missing the oath. And that is not necessarily based on the 90 days. SOmetimes it can be more than 90 days, sometimes less. Any day estimate the USCIS...

The school is in Texas, there are no state taxes. I made very liitle to pay federal income taxes. I was wondering if I still had to pay SS and medicare even if the school did not withhold it. I have now found out that the anser is NO. If I had filed the tax return, I would have qualified for...

Yes it is boring. And yes the school was right not to withhold SS and medicare taxes. Does that necessarily mean that that income will not be taxable at the end of the year? Also, can I get your comment on the continuation of the first post which is post #4. Thank you

I did not know that. Can you reference that for me as this will explain why they did not withhold SS and medicare taxes. The IRS staff did not ask if I was a student at that school during that period. I will inform them tomorrow. I was a full time student working part time under the Federal...

That is hillarious

Some more info Sorry guys, I had to submit the first part to go attend to something that came up. Here is the rest of the story. In the same year 2005, I went to a summer research internship. When we got there we were asked to fill out something for tax exemption for the expense subsidy they...

Back in 2005 when this happened, I had very little knowledge about tax issues. Here is my story. In 2005, I got a W2 from my employer (a state school). I was only working as a student assistant and made just over minimum wage with very few hours a week. SO my income for the year was very...

The federal court in dallas has a tentative schedule for oath ceremonies once a month every second thursday http://www.txnd.uscourts.gov/pdf/jury/Natzschedule.pdf It is up to the USCIS to make use of the the schedul. The court can only naturalize persons that the USCIS presents to them

I agree with lazycis, the ID is too far off. Normally they can invite you to an interview within 3weeks if they want. I will say continue with the lawsuit. Besides, have you recieved the interview letter itself??

We are only a nuisance because they are not doing their job, the Job the charge us for. If they can not do it, then they should handover the work to someone else. When you give someone money, it is with the expectation that they will provide a service to you. So far I have not seen the service...

But she cannot really reapply for the N-400 because she did not remove the conditions on permanent residency. This is the USCIS' mess and instead of telling her how to fix it, the just leave her to roast. Why am I not suprised. Interesting thing is the appeal is for the N-400 and not for...

The report does not say how widespread it is and does not indicate in which state it happened. However, the court refused to schedule additional oath ceremonies. The USCIS knew they were going to have much more applicants due for oath. So here is my question: Why did the USCIS not schedule...

Your card expires but your status as a permanent resident does not. You do not need to renew your permanent resident card, neither do you need I-90. Just apply for citizenship. You will only need to renew your resident card if you are travelling out of the US between now and the oath for...
