I am facing the same dilemma as I am renting also, and planning to go aboard for 4 months. And the landlord said that there is no guaranty apartment will be available when I come back. And as you said, paying 4 months advance rent is costly as I could use that money for my traveling. So also...

Technically, answer to that question would be "No" since you did file 2015 taxes. You just forgot to include the profit from the stocks. I had the similar situation where I owed money and penalty to IRS. Took care of it before filing my N400 and there was no issue during processing and...

If you only owe money to IRS for just one year (as oppose to being a habitat tax dodger), I don't think it will effect your citizenship process. We are all humans and make mistakes. But you have to address IRS issue immediately as USCIS takes taxes very seriously. Best way to do this is to go...

About three weeks as it took that long for mine to arrive.

Its mixture of both, with good measure of bigotry thrown in.

Its official. Today Trump singed the above Executive order, and suspension is extended from 30 days to 90. And complete suspension of Syrian refugees for an indefinite period. Thanks god got my citizenship couple of years ago, so don't have to go thru all the mess immigrants (especially from...

Thanks ananga. That's reassuring. Don't still know what to expect from our new president as he seem to be shooting from the hip. You are right...sorry my bad. That was the draft of executive order that was put out Wednesday. He is expected to sign it though.

Trump just singed a new Executive Order barring nationals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering US with a visa for 30 days. And may become permanent afterward. So my hypothetical question is does Trump have authority to bar dual national US citizens (from one of above...

This is one of reason I don't have any social media (Facebook, Twitter,Youtube) accounts. I like my private life to stay private :) From Politico web site: Since US start doing this, I guess other countries will follow and ask for foreigner visitors social media accounts.

I don't think interview officer will raise any issues regarding her expiring/expired green card. So would go head and apply for her citizenship. She probably will have her citizenship paper in march or April (mine was under 5 months).

As long as the marriage is bona fide (they will definitely check on that), and he have a clean record and paid taxes on his earnings, I don't think any lawyers are needed.

If you call the 800 help number, they will always tell you that green card must not be expired when filing for citizenship. But going by the law, your wife is still a legal permanent resident (even with expired GR), so there should be no problem applying for citizenship with expired GR. As...

I agree. There is no guarantee that new passport photo will look better. I would definitely take passport to agent who processed your passport application, and shw them the photo to see what they say about it. If photo is too dark to point of bring unusable, the agent can call the passport...

I would say on average, the wait is about 2 to 3 months if oath ceremony will be done in court in front of a judge (judiciary). I live about 3 hours from Memphis (no USCIS office in my town) and my interview was on June 30th of last year in Memphis. After one week, they send me an oath...

I think all US passports have embedded digital chip that contain encrypted photo and bio of passport holder. So customs probably run that info thru for electronic verification even before looking at passport. Passport agent at post office told me that when a US citizen leave from US ports, they...

Agree. I am dual national and my other passport have much better photo and more colorful bio page. I read that State Department process on average 45,000 passports a day. I doubt if SD physically inspect each passport individually for quality control. Heheheh....that's a new one :-D

Thanks lilsweetie I made an appointment with passport agent at post office to show him my passport, asking him if picture was ok and not too dark. He said picture being dark is normal for passports and don't sweat it. He said as long as State Department has approved the picture, printed out...

Hello I just received my US passport in the mail, and photo on the information page is little bit dark with shadow under the eyes. The picture is recognizable (albeit excessive flesh tone), but you have to look at bright light. I read on internet that photo was digitalized to put on passport...

Thanks newacct and rock8man for info. Will definitely will take copy of certificate before handing it over to the agent. Wish I could leave my wife's information off my passport application, but I guess have to contact her and get some personal information from her. But really don't want to.

Just recently got my citizenship and now going to apply for passport. Have passport application, but couple of questions. What is the exact procedure for applying for passport. I think I have to go to local agent (in post office) near me and hand them the application. Do they want a copy of...
