US Immigration from Guatemala

Hello everyone,

I have an interview coming up in July in the Guatemalan embassy, I filed my 2021 taxes already but on the IRS website it says that my tax return has not been processed. I spoke to someone from the irs and the lady told me that they are experiencing backlog and since i filed by paper its probably going to take longer. So my question here is:

1. Should I take the 2021 1040 for proof that I did file my taxes this year?

2. Do you think I'll have problems presenting the 2020 tax return?

3. Since I do have a co-sponsor do I have to take their 2021 tax return also?

Are family members allowed to attend your Oath Ceremony? I know in the past it was allowed, but I am not sure now with all the restrictions due to Covid... I'd like my 8 year old son to attend my ceremony if possible, my husband cannot be present due to his work schedule, but I don't want to bring my child if they wont allow him in. My Oath Ceremony is next week in Minneapolis.

I am posting this on behalf of a friend, who is a green card holder but got their I-551 expired in March and needs to return to the US. The Embassy in Guatemala advised he must file a I-131a and pay the fee online, when he tries entering the Green Card # from his card, he keeps getting a message that says "Green Card # and DOB" do not match our records. He is entering the info exactly as it is in his green card, the number is under the USCIS #, and it does start with ZERO, and it has 9 digits. I tried helping him and I am getting the same message. Has anyone encounter this issue before? He tried calling the 800 number and it is impossible to talk to a live person. He called the embassy and was told to keep trying until it works. He has tried over 50 times and still gets the same message. Are looking at the wrong number maybe? Or is there a way to see if his number is valid. The green card is expired but his number should still be valid right?

I had not been here for a long time, I was a regular poster from 2007 thru 2011, and now I just came back because I filed for naturalization.

I am trying to find my old posts for when I applied for my K-1 in 2007. Is there a way to search from dates back then? I see the site was been revamped so I am not sure if the info on the old site was transferred to this new one...

Hi,

It has been a while since I last posted here... I started my visa journey via K1 in 2008, and I am now filing for my naturalization. Just wondering if there are any other filers that live in WI but got sent to the Minneapolis, MN field office for their interview and also wondering if this location does same day oath, as I have seen other offices do. I am a bit surprised because all of my other immigration appointments in the past have been at the Milwaukee, WI Field Office, since I live in Wisconsin. Distance-wise the MN is closer to where I live.

I also tried to find a group for the July 2021 filers but it does not look like there is one.

Any tips/ suggestions for the interview will be greatly appreciated, this will be my very first interview with an immigration official since my K1 as all my other applications got approved without being interviewed in the past.
