You have both moral and legal obligation to help this person from being exploited. This forum has seen far too many citizens (and immigrants abused by citizens) abused by predatory immigrants who are smart enough to game the system to varying extent. I think you should talk to him first because ultimately, it is primarily his business to take care of this.

The way I read your post is that Dad never came to the US or got a greencard. Is that correct?
 

 

 

That would be correct. He never came here.

You pay tax on everything you earn. As annoying as it is, US taxes worldwide income. 

That being said, look up the laws about foreign income. 

my family immigrated without our father. My mother got her green card as parent of US citizen (my elder sibling) in 2015 and she now wants to file N-400. She has been filing as single because we had no idea how to file MFS when our father - who lives on government assistance due to illness - is not even in the US.  I couldn't find consistent information on this until I found this thread but I m wondering if it will be different for N-400. My mom makes barely around 30 k per year and after a quick math I found that for her, she would have had more tax refund if she had filed MFS. I personally think that USCIS wouldn't care that much but what is your take on this? I know this isn't legal advice but I need some starting point because this is getting at me  while working on my own job already...and if you know any reputable CPA who are experienced in doing taxes for immigrants, I would be really grateful. 

I will. Arrrrghggh this is so aggravating 

I just used live chat and it was tier 1 officer that told me that she saw Code F27. She simply told me that I should file I-90. Typical...they probably don't know anything useful. 

Realistically speaking, is it going to cause me trouble when I travel abroad and come back/apply for N400 later?

You could call customer service, get a tier 2 and ask what category appears on your file. 

Just had a chat. It says F27.  Any ideas on how to fix it? 

Note: I was approved as F2B who originally filed petition as F2A but aged out. I wonder that's why? 

That's the thing - the approval notice also says F27. I plan to file e-request to fix it as well.

1. You do not need another stamp. You will indeed travel with both passports: the old one with the stamp and the new one. 

2. No, it shouldn't cause any trouble. 

 

So, I guess by COA you mean class of admission? Which one it is and which one should be? 

It is important as it expresses your immigration category and therefore, specific immigration details. 

Good to hear. I am anxious as hell. 

The card says F27, underage children (<21) of LPR,  but it should be F29, unmarried children (21+) of LPR. The IO at the USCIS office stamped me I-551 with F29 code and told me that it must have been a typo.

One more thing...the officer at the infopass put an I-551 stamp on my passport, but the problem is that the passport itself is expiring mid-June. I told the office about my passport expiring soon, but he still gave me the stamp regardless that is valid until next year May. Here are the questions: 

1. Do I need to get another I551 stamp on the new passport? What happens to the older one? Or, do I have to keep my new passport and the I-551 stamped expired passport with me when I go travel and come back? That's what the officer told me, but I want to hear yall experience. I need to travel abroad for a week in a different country. 

2. When I file I-90, does the fact that the IO stamped my passport with I-551 without receipt of I90 cause any trouble? 

So I finally got my green card (yey), but then I saw that there was wrong COA number. 

Theoretically I should file I-90, but I am wondering if it's worth the effort? I actually talked to Tier 1 officer about and it the officer was like "meh it's not a big deal," but I trust them less than Pastafarian god. Is it going to be a problem when I file N400 or get jobs later? 

Nope. Tax transcripts are the strongest form of evidence for the financial proof. 

Or you can use "additional information" space. 

Talk to a lawyer, but I really doubt they will reject you. Good luck 

You might already know it, but expunged record still has to be "disclosed" on N-400. How you can disclose it? It could be a letter from the court, city, police etc etc....

A single DUI itself isn't a bar for N-400. It depends on whether you were convicted, how long the sentencing is, and this is your first DUI or not. 

Consult a crimmigration lawyer. 

No, and why would he??

Not an expert in VAWA case much less well versed in amateur level, but I doubt you would be considered VAWA - you are still living with the "abuser." 

Know that charges, even if dropped,can be used against you as Crime involving moral turpitude. Its surprising that you didn't attend the immigration court hearing and don't have a removal order. 

No, your field office is strictly based on your zipcode.

Which is why you have to file AR-11 if you move everytime.

I tried tracing back the now deleted twitter page, and this is what I got. Pretty cringe lol. Prince Ekele ahaha

...why only two days movement for F2B? 

Depends. What kind of training is it? Is it just a simple certificate?  I wouldn't do it though just in case 

What does her SSN say? if it says something like "valid for work with DHS authorization only," or any restrictions, you should update it with SS office. 

It's up to doctors, and none of us is a medical professional IIRC. All you can do is to document how you have improved since that 10 years ago, and how you are not a liability. Good luck.

Depending on how your doctor wrote on the medical examination form, it may be used as a ground of inadmissibility especially if it has a record of self-harm or inflicting harm on others.
