I have received letter from USCIS - Lee Summit MO, reg Case File Review Notice / Interview Document Check List asking me to bring the following documents at the time of interview. Apart from other documents on following documents needs your comments and suggestions.
1) If you taken a trip outside the US that lasted for six months or more since becoming a Permenent Resident bring evidence your did not abandon your residence or terminate your employment in th US nor abandon your US abode(IRS return transcript or federal tax returns, rent or mortgage payments, utility bills etc).
My situation is as under:
I came here on GC family sponsored in the year June 2002 and stayed here for 4 months and then applied for Re entry permit left USA in Nov 2002. During this short stay I worked in a small company and filed my tax return for the year 2002 and I mentioned in the tax return my sister home address as my permenent address and for all my correspondence and GC purpose this address was my permenent address. For the year 2003 I did not file tax return as I was not here , however, this address used to be my permenent address. since I was staying with my sister house I did not pay any utility bills etc. How can I show evidence to the question that I did not abandon my residence in US?
Question No: 2
If you have taken a trip outside US that lasted 6 months or more since becoming permenent resident bring an original IRS1722 letter listing tax information for the past five years
My Situation here:

However, I have filed tax return for the year 2002, Is it sufficient to show last 4 years tax returns and what should I tell at the time of interview.

Narayana,
I think your questions are something which you should perhaps depend upon an immigration attorney help to answer this in a proper way. Board inputs may be relevant but you should get professional help.
Thanks.
