Hi all. More questions on TAX! So I activated on Dec 11th but still living in Australia until September this year! I was under the impression I would only have to do a US return for Dec 2015? I have contacted an accountant online who was recommended from a friend she is telling me that I...

Ok thanks for this. An extension would be great!

Ok cool. Do you think I can contact an accountant and do it all via email?

OMG the word tax and health insurance makes me cringe. That is something I have not read a lot about on this thread. I activated in Dec but not moving until August! When am I supposed to do my US tax? Is there a certain time of year? Also what is everyone doing in terms of health insurance...

I think the security at customs would have a list of new immigrants flying in! When I went through customs in OZ pretty sure it puts my name on system! It was just because I was only the only one on that flight and quiet time of dat artiving at 6am!

Sweet Thanks Emily! Did you pay the $165 immigrant fee before you left? Can you do it online? :)

Congrats to everyone who has had successful interviews over the last couple of months! I know this has been asked before, and sure I have read it, but I don't have time to read through all 246 pages :) How long after your activation trip does the Green Card get posted to nominated address ...

Totally normal. My checklist was emailed later, maybe a month before interview. But its basically the same as the one in dropbox. Good luck
