US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hello,

Had a question about tax transcripts. I am filing for my wife's N400.

All previous tax returns have no issues, but for last tax year, I went into self-employment in addition to my regular job. Closer to filing deadline, it was a mess trying to figure out what I actually owe and get all the expenses together etc. so I filed for an extension and made an estimated tax payment. Found an accountant who specializes in my field, and finally got everything sorted and filed accurately in October before deadline. The tax liability turned out to be greater than the estimated tax I paid, so I was charged a "late tax penalty" with interest. My wife is strictly W2 but we file jointly. I set up a 6 month payment plan and paid it all off recently (3 months before due date of payment plan). My question is, will this affect GMC? The penalty was only a couple hundred, presumably because I didn't make estimated quarterly payments or my estimated payment at time of extension was not enough.

Thank you.

Hello,

I immigrated in 2002, married, and have held a full green card since 2004. I am 65 in five days time, and was planning to apply for citizenship at that point. However, my green card expires on 5/26/2026.

The information I've found so far for this sort of situation seems a little vague, but mostly points to applying for green card renewal in addition to applying for naturalisation. Is this correct, or does the naturalisation application alone cover it? I would rather not have to pay out for both if the green card is to be surrendered at the citizenship ceremony anyway.

Any advice gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi all,

I just wondered if this guide is still considered up-to-date as I understand that some changes were made recently to the N400 process

And if not, is there an updated one?

This site has been a huge resource to me over the years, but I havent interacted with USCIS in a while and in a few months I will be eligible to submit a N400 based on marriage to a USC.

Yay.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've seen conflicting guidance online!
I was born in South Africa, where I lived until I left for the United Kingdom when I was 6 years old, and acquired British Citizenship a few years thereafter. I have resided in the United Kingdom ever since. I presume I've retained South African citizenship, and would be dual-national, though I only hold a current British passport. I haven't been back to South Africa since I left.
I've now had my I-130 approved and it's moved to the NVC, where I'll need to upload the civic documents. I'll of course need a UK Police Clearance Certificate, but do I also need one for South Africa?
South Africa would be considerably more difficult as their police website which you need to apply through doesn't appear to have been working recently.
If anyone knows definitively, how additional nationalities, while under 16 are treated, are treated it would be hugely appreciated!

Hello all

I m freaking out a bit

we filed for my parents to move here permanently after I became a US citizen. I had my last name changed legally after becoming a US citizen because I thought it would be easier. The legal name change happened a few months ago (around 3-5 months). Today the i130 petitions were approved for both parents and when we logged in we realized we did not update the last name we completely forgot and it is totally my fault. Any ideas on what I should do now ? I feel like a total idiot.
