We live in the USA and just arrived in France for a 2-week visit. When arriving in France, we realized that the French passport of my spouse (a green card holder) had just expired. We are trying to renew the passport during our visit, but there is a risk it might not be ready by the time of...

We recently withdrew my wife's N-400 application (for good, "pure" reasons, not for anything related to "bad moral character"). We sent a withdrawal letter and got a reply letter from USCIS acknowledging receipt. That was like six weeks ago. Life throws surprises to you. It turns out that...

After careful consideration, my wife has decided to withdraw her N-400, for "good", harmless reasons (not for "bad" reasons that would make her application problematic, i.e. "bad moral character"). The application was send to Texas (we are in the Washington DC area) in October, and biometrics...

My wife sent her N-400 application (under 5-year rule) a few weeks ago. Her biometrics is this week. For a number of (innocuous) reasons, she is likely to withdraw her application at this time (this decision is *not* based on anything "bad"). We have done research in this forum and elsewhere...

Do US citizens living abroad have to pay social security tax and / or medicare tax? Does it matter whether the USC is working for a foreign employer, or "telecommuting" and living abroad but working and getting paid by a US-based employer, or doing consulting for a US-based employer? Thanks.

Basic question. Let's say that, for whatever reason, a green card holder decides to never apply for US citizenship (e.g. it is more advantageous not to become a US citizenship for tax purposes if working in an international organization in the USA). Is that a problem? Will USCIS expect a GC...

My wife is about to submit a N-400. She has been a PR for 7 years (via marriage to me; I have been a USC for more than 10 years). We have been married for 9 years. For all the reasons mentioned in other threads, she is going to apply under the 5-year rule, not the 3-year rule -- simpler, less...

If one begins an N-400 application but later decides to withdraw it and just stay as a green card holder, is there any negative consequence? (*Why* one would want to withdraw is another, long story, but suffice it to say that it is not because of a "problem" or anything negative). Thanks.

My wife is filling out her N-400 (with the 5-year guideline, not the 3-year guideline, if that matters). Our marriage is the first for me and her. Question 8.A is "how many times have you been married" Her answer will be "1" (married to me). Question 8.G is "how many times has your current...

My spouse has been a permanent resident for over 5 years. There is a chance we may go to Europe for a few years around June 2013. Question: how long is the processing time in the Washington DC area? The USCIS website says that the priority date as of mid July 2012 was mid January 2012. Does...

Wife got GC via marriage to USC (me), already LPR over 5 years. Which box to check? I am a USC since 1999. My wife (since 2003), obtained her conditional GC in 2005 and got the conditions removed in 2007. Thus, if I understand correctly, she has been a permanent resident since 2005 -- over...
