Yes, Baltimore has a same day Oath if somebody is wondering...

A Refugee should not travel to their home country at all, because they testified that they cannot be in their country or they will be killed. That is why they are refugees. If they go back to their home country, then it can be used as proof that their refugee claim was fraudulent.

They will be Killed Seriously ??..Nah...i think you are wrong. It depends on what was the situation that made you Refugee...i'm a refugee and i can go visit my country...

My wife's interview is on Sept 12 in Baltimore!!!

That's very Good. Congrats

Hi everyone! I posted a thread in this section (maybe a month ago?) about myself and some family members, cousins, and friends who will be taking a cruise aboard the Carnival Breeze in January to Grand Turk, La Romana Domincan Republic, Curacao, and Aruba. One of our group members is not a U.S. citizen. He came here as a refugee when he was a child. He is a legal permanent resident who holds a valid green card and driver's license. In seeking advice regarding travel document requirements, I was advised by a few people to get him a travel document (form I-131). My question is I'm not sure which he is supposed to apply for: re-entry permit ($445) or refugee travel document ($220)? What is the difference between the two? Which one should he get? If you ask me, I like the cheaper one! Lol. Thanks in advance! -Julie

He can apply for a Re-Entry permit which is Valid for 2 years,,,,,If you like a cheaper one than it is Refugee travel documents which is valid only for 1 yr. FYI....His home country may not let him in just with refugee travel documents but he can travel there with a Re-Entry Permit....

Got Appt. for Interview...Sep.10th......yayay

Thank you for your reply, Does it usually takes them that long to schedule for Interview? It was almost four months for you ?

Anyone here in the same boat with me?????

I read from some people that Baltimore does a same day Oath, any body here with that Experience recently ??? Thanks for the Input. How long does it usually takes them to schedule Interview after being in the line???

Helpyyyyy/....

Our Visa has been approved.....yayayayyaya finally.....

Interview process was real painless in Sydney Consulates....Asked few basic questions and said your visa has been approved !!!!!

hope it comes through for you

Ricardo, Don't you have Interview scheduled for your brother yet??? Just wondering !!

First off, I would definitely find another Tax person.! .. Married is married, it is just filing separate or jointly. If you are not single, you don't file... But as others have guided you, no worries, super easy to amend and get back right!

Do i have to wait for the amendment before i apply for N-400 or i can apply and take that Letter to Interview?

I've been filing our taxes as married-filing-jointly these last 3 tax seasons, but I got an ITIN for my wife via IRS Form W-7.

You can pursue that, file a paper file to the IRS with an AMENDED TAX RETURN anytime you are ready.

Once you file the amended return, showing the 'married-filing-jointly' status, it negates what you did before.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !

Yeah, I was supposed to get that ITIN but... :crying: also the Tax person where i did last year said it not necessary to file as Married if she is not in the US, that's why i did as Single, I didn't Realized that it Affects in my Naturalization...

Thanks all for your help Though...............

You need to amend your taxes from 'single' to 'married filing separately' beginning with the year in which yo got married, e.g. if you got married in 2011 you need to amend the taxes for 2011 (filed in 2012) and 2012 (filed this year).

In your naturalization application you must enter your correct status, which is 'married'.

Good luck!

Thanks, How do i do that ? Call IRS?

I Filed as single because my wife is not in US yet. She is Away and Never been here, i petitioned for her and its in Process. Do i have to apply as married if she is not here and never worked here. Im trying appy for N-400 in 5 years basis. Hope it makes more clear of what i wanted to know.

My Wife is not in USA, I have filed for her and she will be here soon, My question is How do i go with the Marital Status in Citizenship form if i have filed for my tax as single? Help Please

Hello Frens,

We've our case at Sydney consulates and recently address for my wife has been changed, Do we need to update that with Consulates? if yes how? Help please.... :unsure:

Got my Interview Appointment, wow....i called them and they said you are scheduled......Wish you all best of luck..

Thanks F2A, finally after a long time waiting we are now getting IL!

I haven't received IL yet, but just check the payment portal and it says Sign in failed, till yesterday i signed in. i'm hopeful that we are scheduled but no email yet.

but why??

He/She is just annoying.. doesn't know anything. Ignore it Please.

Nothing yet ...

Me too nothing yet, just an update

Lazy like always.only everyone give you same answer like robot. Stupid system

I called NVC for the first time to ask about my Interview, same answer as to all other,,,"We are working for PD's before 22nd Nov".... :crying: :crying:

I am getting very anxious ... Checking my e-mail every 5 min .., nothing yet... I guess we have to wait for Monday

3 wks is just going to be really awful for us

PD Dec 16

I'm Very Positive that it will be 22nd Dec or 1st of Jan....Do you guys have your email address updated with NVC ?? GOOD LUCK all Including myself :thumbs:

If your PD is current, does the interview date is assigned according to the chronological PD order or according to the case completion date?

I am sure your case number has nothing to do with this.

I Think it also depends on how busy your consulate is...

they will send ILs may be after end of february or first week of march

Lets hope for the best

Whats your PD?

Ok,,you difinatelly need a new one,,they wont issus your visa without it,,so Hurry,,you have to do express to get it on time,,and it at the tax office that you have to buy the fee now
