Question on N 400 while submitting documents:



As per the check list documents -" If you have taken any trip outside the USA that lasted six months or more since becoming a Permanent Resident, send evidence that you (and your family) continued to live, work and/or keep ties to the United States:



As per this rule - my situation goes likes this I am green card holder from June 2002 and later I applied for Re entry permit and left USA from Nov 2002 and came back to USA in June 2004 and from then onwards I am staying here.



I have filed tax returns for 2002 ( for couple of months I worked here) and did not file Tax return for the year 2003 ( as I was not here ) and from 2004 onwards filed tax returns. Do I need to enclose tax returns from 2002 onwards, if so, I did not have 2003 return ( how can I show evidence that I continue to live, work and keep ties to the United States) , can I submit non file tax return copy from IRS while sending my N 400 application. Will my application be accepted by Immigration authorities?



Appreciate if some one can respond.



Thanks in advance

Not filing a tax return in 2003 on the basis that you weren't in US can be used against you as an admission that you broke your continuous residency requirement. Did you not have income in 2003?

Yes, I did not have any income in the year 2003. I am applying my N 400 application based on 4 years + 1 day rule as per this my continuous residency requirements starts from June 12 2003 and I think I am eligible for applying N 400 on June 13 2008. Am I right in this regard. Please respond.

Thanks

That is correct. Also, since you had no income in 2003 you were not required to fill out an income tax form for that year. You should be good to go based on the info you provided. Good luck !
