US Immigration from Greece

Hey guys!

I am applying for citizenship and I have two boys aged 15. I am changing my name, can they change theirs as well?

Hi guys,

Awaiting for my k1 visa interview but preparing for the next steps!

Q: I would like to ask you if there are any pros/cons or difference if we get married 31 Dec 2021 or 1 January 2022 regarding the taxes? Or will be handled the same? (Eg to skip fill a form? Or my husband to be to have returns on 2020 or we may pay more money etc)

Quick background:

- 2020 i have income to my home country only, 2022 till April i will not have work in US anyway

- my country seems that is including to countries that are under 2055 excemption form.

- on April 2022 I will probably NOT be considered as tax resident as I have 15 days in 2019, 17 days in 2020 and until tax season on 2022 which is around 120 days but I saw the offline statement that we can complete to be treated as one.

We will probably have to to advise an tax specialist anyway but good to have an understanding and know what to expect.

Hey guys. We filed back in 2020 of January and finally got some kind of response back this far into 2021. They hit us with an RFE despite the evidence we gave. Apparently according to the Officer that got his hands on our case; the Lease of our apartment 'did not appear as if there was intent to renew(Dude really?) and does not cover the entirety of our marriage'. Crazy thing is; we waited to put her name on the lease until we could change her last name to mine. SS dept didn't give us an update until middle of the year in 2018 (We got married in 2017). Not to mention that We had no choice but to wait until the Lease was about to renew before I could add another person to it. We even explained this to an officer during our AOS interview in Charleston back in 2018 and he understood completely.

So the furthest back we have is 2019.

And because our joint bank accounts only consisted of transfers (I.E. my Wife and I, transfer money into that account to save up to buy a house together) they didn't consider it enough evidence to prove commingling of our finances. That felt like a slap to the face, considering we submitted our recent IRS tax returns signifying that we were indeed filing Jointly.

Right now We're gathering

• Photocopies of our Driver's Licenses that have our matching address on it.
• Copies of our renter's insurance that has both of our names on it.
• Having our Life insurance policy mailed to us so we can send them copies.
• A copy of her name put on the Electric bill. Sadly, from the look of the picture sent to me by the agent, they had her listed as 'C/O' but her name is highlighted and states "Handling Business" next to it.
• and a couple of friends agreed to write Affidavits for us.

Any other suggestions? I honestly feel like our case just fell into one of the Officers who just didn't have their coffee that morning or something.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

There is a mistake to the bonds and stocks question at the affidavit of support, the value need to be zero. As I have already in my hands the signed form which I want to mail tomorrow as I have already scheduled the interview is any of the below solutions acceptable?

- erase with pen the value and write 0 next to it (my fiance is aware of the change)

- my fiance to send me a scanned image with the correct form for this page and at footer to sign this page

- just replace this page by printed again that page with the correct value (is not hand written). This is may risky because it is obvious that the page printing style and size is different and may think that I had replaced my fiance's page overall...

What do u suggest? Im thinking the first and have at interview the second just in case?

Best,

Christine
