Citizenship/taxes

[Jacmel87 0]

I came to the usa in march 2010 with a k1 visa, i got my temporary card in august 2011 and two years later my 10 year green card. In february 2016 i applied for citizenship under the 3 year rule, had my interview in april and the office told me a decision could not be made at this time. I pass the civic test. Now i check my case status online and to my surprise it said they denied it. I could say i dont have any red flags, my marriage is still intack and i have no criminal records at all. I have no back taxes for 2011 thru 2014. I filled our taxes late this year, like the last day which was the 18 of april, my wife has not pay those taxes yet as we are waiting for them to send us a bill. I did win some lottery in august 2015 that i didnt pay tax on but did claim in as income on my taxes where they added those taxes on the amount i own. During the interview the office was focuse on back taxes and selective services, i did apply for selective services as soon as i got here in 2010 when i apply for my social. So my question is would they denied me just because my wife and i didnt pay our 2015 taxes yet. We are planing on paying everything this month by the way like we have been doing for the last 4years. Please help!!!!!!

Get the taxes sorted out and apply again.

You should wait for the official letter to see why it was denied instead of guessing.

You mean pay the 2015 tax debt and apply again? Even when i applied under the 3year rule witch would be 2012-2014. If they denied me for that would be just a bummer wow, they didnt give me a RFE to even show that we have an instalment with the goverment but just shoot for denial and keep my 700$ hmmm. I wanted to appeal and would ask anyone if they think i even have a chance of winning. I would just hate to start over from scrath all over again?

Wait for the denial letter so that you can figure out what you're thinking about appealing.

You're right that usually you would get an RFE to prove that you had a payment plan in place.

However, there are other reasons (both related to and unrelated to the tax issue) that could have resulted in the denial.

When did you register for selective service

[Penguin_ie 6,000]

Did they claim you didn't register for Selective Service at the interview? If so, were you able to show proof you did?

It could be something else other than your taxes. Because it is the tax issue, you will be hearing from IRS soon.

So be patient and wait for the official reason for denial.

When did you register for selective service

since 2010 when i first came here. The person interviewing said he did not see it in my file, but i am positive i send them copies of that selective service thing. Plus i have it ready also if they need to see it

maybe so, and i am not worried about the irs because for the last 5 years i have been paying them as soon i got the bill from them. I wait to get the bill because i want that for my own proof and safe keeping.

that officer was full blow focusing on back taxes. I am beggining to think is it because i had win some money from the lottery(like 15 grand) in august. All though i didnt pay the tax on it right away i did claim all of it on my taxes and have to pay the taxes now. We file our taxes late like the last day which was the 18 of april this year and the account file an extension/instalment for us to pay them. Thats why i am confuse about this denial?

Why not just wait for the denial letter?
