Hi Guys,

 

Joining the club...

I filed Monday and estimated time is 12 months [Dec 2019] but I just noticed in my application snapshot that there is an address missing for a job I held 4 years ago overseas. Although, I remember completing that section.

I have noticed a couple of glitches on the online system, a question that was not answered and the address not showing.

 

I hope this will not affect my application too much. Crossing my fingers.

 

Another question for you folks. 

On the N-400 Timeline, I noticed that for people who applied in 2018, it seems to move along a decent pace. [Under 12 months]

Have you noticed a pattern - estimation is greater than the actual time too?

I do hope that all our application get the same pace. 

 

Thanks

 

I have the same issue, I 100% sure that I added 3 addresses that I lived for the past 5 years, but when I click to see the Application Snapshot, it only shows the oldest one. I hope it is a bug of the website, and they got all my information correctly.

Hello... Just filled my N-400 yesterday (12/18/2018) online, while my ROC (filled Jan/2018) still pending, I'm from Chicago.

Estimate showing on dashboard says 15 months, but what I hear from others that is taking average 10 months.

Hey guys,

Did anyone applied, recently, for Global Entry while ROC is pending and got approved?

I’ve applied a month ago, and my application still pending review...

Your husband is a US citizen, right?

The illegal employment doesn't matter for Adjustment of Status; first of all they are from past trips, and second you are in the Immediate Relative category. Not sure about the consequences for your employer but if they employed you illegally then it was their fault.

You need to look into making sure you have file taxes whenever required. Working legally and illegally have the exact same tax requirements. The only situation where you don't need to file taxes is if your income that year was below the threshold for filing. At the beginning of each year's Form 1040 instructions, there's a part "Who Must File", which lists the threshold. If you were required to file but didn't, make sure you do that ASAP.

Thanks for your answer newacct!

I've a question about filing taxes, how will I file taxes without a W-2? I don't think that my employers will give me a W-2 since they weren't paying for taxes neither...!

Thanks for all your help, appreciate!

Best

Thanks Darnell, for the welcome! Appreciate

the illegal employment thing, I'm not sure on.. I know they don't look kindly on that..

I married my husband when he was here on an F-1. The conversion process was fairly seamless, but he only worked under the restrictions of his F-1. I'd go through the guides at the top of the page and fill them out honestly and see what happens. The problem is if you don't fill it out and they later find out, you could have some serious trouble.

As a side note, some immigration offices do read these forums, so with both your names and city/state listed, it would be best not to lie about it.

Thanks mngoalie!

We won't lie on the forms, we will fill everything and say the truth!

Do you know about taxes? Do you think that IRS can come after me?

I was researching about paying past taxes, but I need W-2 from employer, and I don't think that they will give me...

Thanks in Advance...

Hi, first I want to congratulate everyone that helps people like me that have so many questions about the immigration process...

I will try to short my story...

- Got in the US as Visitor (B-2 Visa) in Dec 2011;

- After 3 months (Feb 2012) I started working illegally in the US with my visitor visa, our intention was to get the H1-B (work visa);

- A few months later (April 2012), my employer and I filled for the work visa (H-1B), since it took very long because of back and forth of documents, I had to go to back to my home country;

- A few months later, we get the response, and it was denied because of some errors on the document (Oct 2012);

- In Dec 2012, after 6 months in my home country, I came to the US with some friends on vacation and in a Business (B-1) visa, because I will stay here for 3 months as a consultant of the same company that I worked before (illegally);

- In Dec 2012, on my vacation period I met my husband;

- In March 2013 I went back to my home country, because I wanted to stay in the US only for 3 months (since I told that to customs agent on the port of entrance);

- After 3 months on my home country I got a F-1 student visa and came to the US to study, my husband and I started living together;

- We just get married this month (Aug 2015); Since I'm with the F-1 visa I went back to Brazil 3 times because friend's weedings and to visit family and never had any problem on the port of entrance;

PS: Since Feb 2012 I've been working for this company, when I was in the US and when I was on my home country (remote), I worked on the B-2 visa and F-1 visa... And I'm currently work with them on my F-1 visa. My husband and I are getting everything together for the green card application process...

Sorry that was too long.. Now my questions and hope that you guys can help... We don't want to lie on the forms, even if this get me denied, because I don't any problem for my husband or life ban...

Do you guys think that I can be 'forgive' for illegal employment? I never paid taxes, should I filled for taxes now for the last 3 years? What're the consequences for my employer when USCIS read my application saying that I work for them?
Is the Affidavit necessary (letters from friends, family members)? If so, does it need to be notarized?

We don't have much time because my I-20 will expire in the end of the month, since I won't be able to proof finance support... Can we send the I-130 and I-485 first to start the process and then I send the I-693 (Medical form)? Can I stay on the US with my I-20 expired while on the AOS process?

Thanks in advance,

I appreciate any response and tips!

Hey everyone,

My cousin, she is 15 years old, wants to come to the US to study her last year of High School here...

I don't know, I'm trying to make things easier and cheaper for her mother...

If anything know something that can help, I will really appreciate!

Thanks in advance,

Brunno
