I would have the doc notarized (in India by officials) and send it by certified mail to the IO.

My interpretation to the message is that some sort of action is being taken on your father's case in USCIS. I don't know whether it will be good or bad, but any changes are always better than waiting indefinitely.

I don't believe you need to do anything special since you are only taking a few days off. Just bring GC, passport and any supporting docs (if any) with you. Maybe you'll see the oath letter in the mailbox when coming back from vacation. Enjoy the last chance to use the green card. Surrendering...

If the OP ever filed 1040NR form for tax return after being granted GC, then the OP should answer YES, otherwise NO should be checked.

I don't think you need to change driver's license. Your student ID may be more powerful than any idetification such as driver's license. Just remember to take it with you to the interview. Other things like a letter from registration office stating you are a full time student may not a bad idea...

Anything could happen with the immigration service. My son, then 14, was approved of green card before I was even I was the main applicant. After his approval, I was interviewed and got GC four months later. I asked the IO at the interview if he can take my son's GC back and have him approved...

The following is copied from Adjudicator's Field Manual. It appears the interview officer has no choice but to transfer you to another district where has jurisdiction over your application. Also you are required by law to change address by filing form AR-11 with USCIS. Answer to Q1: Yes...

To file a jount return requires spouse's signature on the 1040. Did you have your wife sign the 1040? Also the 1040 require your spouse's SSN (or tax ID) for the joint return. Since your spouse was not in US, how did she get the number? If your spouse signed the 1040 with SSN/Tax ID, then I...

Thanks for the direction. After reading the I-130, it seems I only need to send (a) I-130 (b) G325A and (c) the document that proves the relationship between the petitioner (me) and the beneficiary (brother/sister), plus the application fee of $350, to USCIS-Chicago. The USCIS website does...

Can you tell me what the procedures are to apply green card for brother/sister, and what are the required forms for such application?

Diversity and melting pot are two of the main achievements in the immigration history. Taking lotto out, in my view, is a major hamper to the acievements, and before long, we may see all immigrants are from India, China, Mexico, and Phillippine (do I spell it right?). I am eager to meet the...

No hurt to bring them. Call IRS today, and the papers should arrive in a week or so, plus they are free of charge.

I encourage we help each other on this board, and not criticize the details of the story. I really admire the poeple giving advice with their best knowledge and not poking the "loose ends" (if any) of OP's story.

You have to call SSA to find out what to make up the UNPAID taxes, which were due at the time of receiving wage. You and your employer may be found delinquent in taxes and be penalized for it. In addition, you don't want to be found owing taxes by USCIS because that would be a big blow to your...

A pattern is something USCIS is after. Two DVs become a pattern, and thus can be a serious issue.

Will son’s earlier approval of green card than mine be a problem in N400? My son was granted permanent residency 3 months before me. Will this be a problem in his citizenship application interview? What’s your suggestion if there is a legal issue here? My sons, my wife and I submitted I-485...

Physical presence is a must except for students and military personnels. Since you are neither a student nor serving in the military, you have to physically live in the same district three months before applying.

Please educate us, Ohio1960 We would like to know on what ground that makes you think a credit card civil suit has no effect whatsoever on naturalization? You sound very experienced and well educated on such issue. Please share your experience and educate us a little so people on this board...

You can enclose your check for kid's application. USCIS would be more than happy to accept it. No worry here.

The memo indicates it is exceedingly difficult to denaturalize a citizen and this is the central argument for USCIS to keep the namecheck process unchanged for N400 applications.
