Did you include any tax documents/ transcripts for 2018? The tax transcripts I included in my online application are 2015, 2016 and 2017. We filed our 2018 taxes but I understand that transcripts aren't available just yet..

Yes, we did.  We were not married in 2015, so it would have been pointless to submit that year for us.  The 2018 transcripts are available - it really just depends when you filed your taxes.  We did it in February, and our returns were approved 1-2 weeks later, giving us access to the transcripts as well. 

 

EDIT - also, our estimated completion time is only 12 months! That seems pretty fast to me, although I'm not sure how accurate it is.

I believe that the N-400 asks only if one has/has not filed a Federal return since becoming a permanent resident.  In our case that was May 2016 when my wife received her conditional Green Card.  We filed our 2018 taxes in February of this year and were able to download tax transcripts for 2016, 2017, & 2018 from the IRS website.

We are filing based on marriage, so I think tax returns are highly recommended - it asked us for the past 3 years of transcripts.

We filed our taxes about a week ago. My status in the USCIS website still shows they are processing my submitted form. Will I be able to edit/ add my 2018 tax transcripts then or should I expect to get an RFE? We should've filed our taxes sooner 😫

@JeanF nice to see another fellow Dallas filer in here. I thought our estimated case completion date would change for the better after completing biometrics. Sadly, it still displays a ridiculous 25 month wait time. Insane. 


@GerryC327 We applied online on 3/2 and received the paper NOA1 in the mail on 3/8 (but no e-mail). So I think you're fine. Since you applied online you don't have to wait for the NOA1 or the biometrics notice to arrive in the mail. Just login to your USCIS account and they'll be located in the "Documents" tab. It takes a few days for the documents to appear after your status changes, though.
