US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

Just here to remind everywhere to fill out a P85 form to get your income tax refund with HMRC when you move. I saw it mentioned here once but don t see many people talking about it. You have to do it after you ve left the UK, but it s all online and really simple to do!

I did mine when I moved in late September. It took them a while to write to me (the letter just arrived today - over 2 months later) but I just found out I m due a repayment 1249/ $1676!! They enclosed a cheque with the letter. That ll help us recoup some of the costs of me moving here and will help with Christmas presents too.

DO NOT FORGET!! You could get a decent amount for just 5 minutes of your time.

Having a real problem downloading and filling in USCIS PDF forms on Mac. When I enter any text into the boxes it tells me 'the original document can't be changed'..... So how exactly do USCIS expect us to submit their annoying forms if we can't actually fill them in?!

Then when I try to save the duplicate version, again, it tells me 'the document can't be saved'..... What did I do to deserve this?!

Anyone else stuck in this nightmare using Preview on MacOS? Is it any better on Windows or Adobe Reader??

Hi everyone, I became a naturalized citizen in October 2019, and I never realized I had to go into the Social Security office with my certificate to update my file. I m now onboarding for a new job and was good my SSN isn t verifying as a citizen, I explained the situation to the employer and they said it should be no problem, since my old LPR status is still active...should this even be an issue as long as I have my Naturalisation Certificate? No matter what that replaces the LPR status right? Of course I ll be making an appointment to update my file ASAP, but I thought this was an interesting situation

I have my interview next week and I can t find my original birth certificate anywhere I have a lot of copies but can t find my original! Will this be an issue at interview?. I m from uk and the offices to get a new one are closed..

I need advice. I just received a RFE for my I-751 and they need more proof for a bonafide marriage.

My problem is we have never had joint utilities EVER. Any and all bills have been in my husband's name because the companies we were with wouldn't allow more than one person to be on the account. When we bought our house last year we just transferred the address for all of our utilities. I don't drive so I don't have a driving licence/insurance, we have no health insurance not since October 2019, we don't have a will or life insurance. Our home we bought we've been renting out since June to avoid foreclosure and have since been living with my husbands dad. They said the birth certificate wasn't valid that I sent for our daughter (the one we were gave at the hospital). Money has been so tight that we weren't able to apply for her birth certificate online (I've just now ordered it to send as evidence). Also,i haven't worked since I moved here. When I received my green card I found out I was pregnant 2 months later, my daughter has just turned 1 and I'm a stay at home mum, so I have never dealt with the finances or had any policies taken out by me. All I can send is bank statements from 2018 when we got married to now. Our daughters official birth certificate. Affidavits from our family. Apartment leases from before we bought the house (which we've provided before). Also a letter explaining the above and why we don't have joint utilities etc.

I provided in the initial pack;

Hospital Birth certificate for our daughter

Discharge instructions for me from the hospital

Vet Bill's (were only in my name but listed our current address)

Joint Bank Statements from Feb 2020 to current

Closing documents for our house and insurance

Lease agreement for our tenants with us listed as landlords

it's not a lot but it's all we had and im so scared that providing the little additional evidence we have isn't going to be enough. I can't be seperated from my daughter or husband, it's making me sick to my stomach.
