At no point did I suggest that @DV immigrant or anyone else should not give their tax transcripts. I made a comment about myself and about the USCIS policy. From my post above - “I’m glad he didn’t because I don’t want my tax information out there and my taxes are quite complicated with several...

Many people consider detailed financial records as a private matter. Even the IRS is not allowed to share this information with anyone without a sub-poena. Currently Trump is fighting a similar subpoen (for different reasons of course). It doesn’t matter if they read it or not. Technically the...

Probably the EAD card. It seems like you were granted asylum. Congratulations

The “proof” they ask for (tax statement) has most of the meat isn’t it?!? My tax statement has final numbers of each schedule filed. So the tax statement is like 4 pages long while the actual taxes go over 100+ pages. The yearly account summary from IRS can also be the proof but I read on here...

My IO gave me a hard time about other things but did not ask a single additional question about taxes apart from the Yes/No question on the N400. I think it depends on the adjudicator. I’m glad he didn’t because I don’t want my tax information out there and my taxes are quite complicated with...

Filing deadline could be April 15 or October 15 if you have filed an extension. You are not legally expected to show anything until then.

Congratulations!

Of course they can question and check if you potentially abandoned your residence in the past but it is unlikely to have an impact on your naturalization if you maintain residence and physical presence for 5 years preceding the application. To be on safer side, if I were you I would count from...

This may be true, you are right...I didn’t consider it. I think it’s similar to how the marriage and divorce dates are more important for marriage-based petitioners than in other categories. The form just generically asks for all types of information, and they can focus on what information they...

This information should be helpful for a lot of people in the future as well. Can you also try to get their help to process your drivers license? Or if the feds don’t want to get involved, maybe the state department of justice? Most states have rules That consider asylees as permanent residents...

They should be able to return by October 28. Technically speaking, they should be able to return anytime during the validity period of their Green card. Reentry permit only serves to show intention to preserve residency and avoid being sent to the immigration court for revocation.

Selective service is only for ages 18 to 26 and that to for men. If you came after you were 26, you don’t need any letter. Your employment status (Or whether you were unemployed) does not really matter for naturalization. They’re technically trying to assess your physical presence. I would just...

I’m not sure what US embassy considers as a valid excuse but a worldwide pandemic with 6 million cases in US seems like a good enough reason to me for a SB1 visa or even for a delayed entry without one that a IJ will not consider as a loss of residency. I’m quite a regular flyer with around...

I saw that you have a SSN issue as well, but I was able to get an unrestricted SSN. I was refused initially but I took a print out of the information on their website and went to a different office and asked for a supervisor. You can work with an unrestricted SSN card + DL/state ID or SSN +...

@newacct If OP’s father was a US citizen by birth living in the US, wouldn’t OP be a US citizen by birth as well per INA 301/309 regardless of his place of birth? why would his father need to petition him for a GC? Anyway, since OP will be getting an attorney, I’m sure he will figure it out

If you are accepted as a US citizen by Department if state, both of them will become US citizens as long as you spent 5 years in the US after you got your green card. Since you have a GC for 35 years, I assume you have. Make sure you discuss their case with the lawyer as well. I think he can...

Great decision. Like I explained to you over private message, a very likely claim of US citizenship can resolve all your issues you have about the ESTA related misrepresentation/loss of residency etc. it will help your kids (if any) as well. Just make sure that if you get your US citizenship...

From the discussion above, it seems like a divorce decree with any custody information would greatly help the case. If @ManyM has a copy or can get it from the court, it would help. On a side note, @ManyM if you had any children born outside the USA in the past 35 years and if you are able to...

@SusieQQQ is right about the physical/legal custody difference but since the father was able to petition the minor, bring him to the US and have him stay with him, would not have been possible without a legal custody, right? I’m honestly not familiar with family laws and I know they differ from...

I was refused an I-94 as well by the A*holes as USCIS after I went with judges letter. They said that I have to fill out I-102 and pay the fee. At the time I didn’t know much about the laws. But I was able to apply for a EAD and RTD and got them within 2-3 months. Then when I traveled to Mexico...
