That's great news! Congratulations!

He needs to submit his most current tax return or transcript. The transcript is preferred and can be found at: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript Right now it would be the 2022 return, unless he's already filed his 2023 return.

That's fantastic, and Congratulations! It's exciting when those notifications start coming in like that, isn't it!

I'm sure it's better for him to be forthcoming about it, anyway.

Glad I could help!

He needs to call the police and find out if there is an Incident Report.

I've actually had good experiences with cold calling. Several years ago, I was unemployed. and did submit applications with online job recruiting networks I do recommend doing it, but I also began researching schools in my area (I teach music and art), and sent out applications to schools that looked good to me even if they didn't seem to be hiring. I even popped into a school, as I was driving by, and introduced myself. My cover letters were always tailored to the specific school, by quoting a sentence or paragraph from their website that described their philosophy and telling them how wonderful it is to have found a school with the same philosophy as mine and what a good fit we would be for each other. This is how I got the job I wanted! It's also a good idea to send a thank you letter, after each interview. I got a job once, solely because I did this. Best of luck to you, and I hope you find your dream job soon!

I owned my home long before I met my now husband. We did exactly the same thing @Sukie did and had no problems at all.

I'm sorry you see it this way, and that you're in this situation. Those who have responded to you are not voicing their own opinions or judgements, but are looking at it the way CBP would see it. This is necessary to be able to give you good advice and help you to know what you can expect. Our personal opinions, after all, are not the ones that count. Best of luck to you.

The interview was pretty quick, and my husband was approved that day. The IO, whose name was Heather, asked if we had any photos (we had just a few, which is enough). She also asked us what we brought to show her, and we brought out some bank statements and our health insurance policy. She really didn't ask for anything specific. You'll be fine, I'm sure. Good luck!

Our interview was a pleasant conversation. The IO said that she would "love to hear our story", and we told her how we met and how we spent time together before the visa came through. She did go, briefly, over things we were doing since we got married. They know you haven't been together for years, and only expect to see an enormous amount of evidence. A joint bank account, with deposits and withdrawals that show you are both using it, credit cards in both names, both names on insurance policies, wills and healthcare directives are some of the kind of things they want to see. If you have your evidence in order, you can just relax and tell your story!

My husband got his insurance through healthcare.gov months before he got his green card. They just needed a copy of his I-94 and his SSN, which hadn't come through yet, but they just asked him to submit it when it did. Easy! (We're in New Jersey, where GetCoveredNow is used instead of Healthcare.gov but, at the time that didn't exist.) It had absolutely no impact on his immigration process and he is now a citizen!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!!

My husband also applied for his N-400 while his I-751 was pending. He was a citizen about six months later!

I'm so sorry this has happened. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you happiness. I would definitely contribute to a GoFundMe, if, as @Old_Glory suggested, you start one.

You can update your W-4 any time.

You probably would have filed as Married Filing Jointly. It's not necessary for both spouses to have worked, but you do have to file as a married person. That's the transcript you need to take along with you.

Nope! They only asked to see pictures, which surprised us. What they asked us to show them doesn't matter. Every case is different. It would be so disappointing to have to wait for approval because they asked for something you should have had with you.

We took everything the letter told us to. Why take chances? It did involve a lot of printing, but it's better to have it and not need it...

Yay! Congratulations!!!

Working remotely is still working and does violate the terms of the visa.

Occasionally, we'll hear of a case that's processed surprisingly quickly, but that's not the norm. Four months, in USCIS time, is a short time to wait. I wouldn't be worried at this point.

I wasn't allowed in, either, so I was surprised then Neil came out and told me it was a combo interview. The IO came out with him and said that the one obstacle to her approving the I-751 was that she could see transfers from my personal account into our joint account. I had never sent them anything from my personal account because I thought it was irrelevant. She wanted to see a statement from it before she would approve the ROC. She gave us 15 minutes to do it, and I downloaded it and emailed it to her on my phone! She replied by saying that she'll see us at the oath ceremony in a few hours! It was a hectic 15 minutes, but we chilled at Starbucks until the ceremony. What an exciting day!

To security. They're the first people we saw as we entered the field office. I wanted them to be sure they would let me in, since I wasn't essential for just the N-400 interview.
