US Immigration from United Kingdom

Is there anyone in a process of doing adjustment status with a visa waiver program?

How did/is it going and is it risky/too risky?

Hey everyone,

I hope this is the correct place to post a question like this. I've done an extensive Google search and haven't had a huge amount of luck on this. I only found out recently that if you're a US citizen living abroad, you still have to file tax returns. I have been living in NZ full-time since Feb 2021, so I imagine I will have some outstanding tax debt to pay if I decide to return to the US to live.

My main question is.... is there any place I can find out how much tax I actually owe? I'm not going to pay the huge number of private companies $$$$ just so they can overcharge me. Surely I should be able to have some IRS portal where you put in your SS and it generates this information? Or is it a case of filing a late tax return from abroad and then seeing what comes up?

Hope someone can help

cheers

Hi

I'm just starting to hop back into this immigration process hopefully for the final time so any help would be welcome.

Brief timeline -

I was a k1 visa entry, married and had i485 interview for conditional green card, then divorced about 12 months later. Filed i751 as divorce waiver, approved without interview.

So I'm going to apply for naturalization by the 5 year rule, no criminal records or tickets, what would I need to provide as evidence or documentation outside of tax records?

Thank you for any help!

Hi everyone,

I m currently in the CR1 visa process, having submitted the I-130 application last year.

Looking ahead to the NVC stage - which I m hoping will come around soon, assuming we receive approval, I had a question regarding police checks for countries I ve previously lived in.

Between 2014 and 2019, I lived and worked in Taiwan and held an ARC (Alien Resident Certificate) during that time. In May 2020, I obtained a Taiwanese police clearance certificate, which I needed for work purposes. The process was quite tedious and hence I am getting ahead of the game and thinking ahead this time.

Since the period I have lived in Taiwan, I ve been issued a new passport, and the police clearance I have lists my old passport number. I haven t lived in Taiwan since 2019, though I did make a brief 4-day visit in January 2020 for a holiday.

I noticed on the US embassy in UK website, that it says the following:

Quote

With the exception of the U.K. police certificate which is considered valid for 12 months from the date of issuance, a police certificate is valid indefinitely, provided you do not return to the country and reside for six months or more, if it s your country of birth or current residence. The period is twelve months for any other country.

My question is: Would I be able to use the police clearance I obtained in 2020, or would I need to apply for a new one?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

I filed my I-130 for my wife in May 2024 and had over 70 documents uploaded. I logged into my USCIS account and noticed my documents are all missing. What do I do here ?
