I guess my case is a little similar to that of the OP; I became a PR back in 2006 but was studying in UK at the time so I stayed in US for 2 months until I got my green card, DL, SSN and bank accounts all sorted out. Got back to UK, got married and then relocating to US became even harder. My travels were as follows:

OUT IN DAYS OUT

11/20/06 11/02/07 347.00

11/16/07 12/20/07 34.00

12/28/07 12/22/08 360.00

12/25/08 06/21/09 178.00

07/01/09 01/04/10 187.00

Anyway, long story short, I was able to get away with it until Jan 2010 at POE when I was almost refused entry. I guess the time I traveled complicated the matter since it was only few weeks after the under wear bomber incident and co-incidentally I was traveling the exact same route.

I had to give up my job and decided to stay in the US - been living in US now for ~3 years. Although I still need to file taxes for those years I was away but I m not planning to file N400 (sometime in 2013) until that's all sorted out.

So it's good idea to sort out all tax issues before dealing with USCIS.

Hey guys,

My PD is Feb 2011 and I have already submitted the IV application together with original docs - marr and birth cert; I called NVC today asking when they are going to return the docs but they told me it will be returned during the Interview at the embassy in my country.

Is this the case? What if I need the docs, can I request for them?

Thanks.
