Be careful with your wording. You are worried about your timeline, but you yourself are saying you will "visit" the US. Looking at your post history, the fact that your name isn't on the lease and you don't have a joint bank account PLUS the domestic violence charge do not guarantee a successful outcome for N400 under the three year rule.

The tax return transcript is what the IRS generates once your Federal tax return is approved. You need the IRS tax return transcript. Not the federal tax return, THE IRS TAX RETURN TRANSCRIPT.

@Verrou used “IF”. They didn’t assume anything. Plus, say you were low income. How is low income an insult?

I did not know that. I learned something new today!

Regardless, she should apply for N600. There might be other situations (for example, at the SS office) where she needs to prove her citizenship. And if she loses her passport she doesn't have any other means to prove it. If I remember correctly, I was asked to show my husband's BC on my naturalization interview. So some officers might actually request a proof of citizenship. While the passport will suffice, again, what would happen if she loses her passport prior to your interview? Btw my local field office was also Columbus, OH. But for now, she can use his naturalization date.

No. In general USCIS does not require to see w2s if you present them with IRS tax return transcripts. Go online, download, then print.

I don't think this timeline will work. I believe you have a deadline to enter on your K1, which might be shorter than the wait times for the B1/B2. Usually B1 B2s are good for 10 years. I would have them apply for their visas before you apply for yours. And then answer the question on the form accordingly.

I will have to watch this one tonight. Going back to Eddie... How can he sleep at night knowing what he's up to? I was worried about my case because I didn't mention my stepchild on my 485. Worried to death that they'd deny me. In the end I did list him on the 751 and N400 and even talked about him for a minute at my citizenship interview, but nothing bad happened. Yet I was worried. Guess @OldUser and myself are different from Eddie!

Boy o boy Eddie is roasted! Two kids, one being out of wedlock and born before ROC https://www.youtube.com/live/JWFQrKEZINw?si=lHzoZnCmJ-YjtHzn

Houston doesn't do same day oath ceremonies.

What does that mean? You’re lucky she got another ESTA after her overstay. The ESTA is not a visa to come and go as she pleases. If that’s the plan, you might just was well file for CR-1 or DCF and have her come a resident first and citizen thereafter.

It really depends on your local field office. Which one is it?

So much so that everything I learned it's been through VJ and some of the train wrecks we see here.

Ha! So true about the tier 1 officers... When I applied for my N400 they sent me to biometrics to Charleston, WV, which is a good two- hour drive from me. Meanwhile, there is an ASC 20 minutes away from home. I called CIS that same day I received the letter asking to be rescheduled to the closest center. The lady said "of course, I will do that right now! and you will automatically receive the new appointment at the Westerville location!" Thank God I didn't listen to her. This was exactly a year ago today when I decided to just do a walk in at Westerville. I'm already a citizen, but if I hadn't trusted my gut, I would still be waiting. Another anecdote was during my AOS. I still hadn't created the VJ profile so I was a kindergartener for immigration. I called their misinformation hotline and the officer said "your case is perfect and it's already enroute to the local field office". The very next day I got hit by my (only) RFE.

Are you talking about my super healthy, outsmart, badass six pounder?!

Here you go: And just like that, I’m one step closer to the end! Interview was today at 8:00 am at the USCIS Columbus Field Office. We went with my husband, but at first the officer only called me in. I had a few corrections/ update to make, so before I was sworn in I let him know of this. He said it was ok, not a problem. So he swore me in, then started with the civics test: - What did MLK junior do? - What are two US national holidays? - two political parties - why did the colonists fight the British? - Name one tribe Forgot the other question. The reading was: who elects Congress? Writing: People elect Congress. Then we went on to the application. I made the changes / updates. For the weapons training question, I marked “yes” because I own a gun, which my husband has been teaching me to use. I explained this, he changed the question to “no” and he added “informal”. After I was done, he called my husband in, asked him when we got married, my full name, my DOB, his marital status. And that was it! He printed off the paper recommending me for approval on the spot. It felt more like a casual conversation, he was professional but friendly. Funny note: he asked me how long 751s are taking because officer’s wife has a pending one! 😂😂😂

Yes. You're not expected to file 2023 taxes until April 18th 2024. Create an online account with the IRS, download the Tax Return Transcript. It asks you the reason for your request, you should say "immigration" They're available as soon as you create your account. You'd take all the tax forms (w2, 1099s, 1098s, etc) to the interview with you. The transcript takes a few weeks to upload (FYI I filed on 01.26 and it still says N/A not available) No. It's within your rights. Don't bring it up, but if they do ask about your 2023 taxes, simply tell them you haven't filed yet. It depends. I believe @Loren Y 's wife applied under the three year- rule, so she needed the last three years. I applied under the three year rule, though out of a word of caution I brought the last five years of my tax returns. The officer never requested to see them. If you are applying under the five year rule, then you need your last five years of tax returns, not counting 2023. You're more than welcome to read my interview experience. I will share it here.

So sorry you're in this limbo. Before sending the package again, and in order to avoid confusion, I would contact a Senator first. Also, where are you now? Are you even close to the Field Office in Fresno?

Yes. Already explained. Not necessarily. Not necessarily. Anytime. Just be aware that you will not be able to leave the US or work until you either get your combo card/ green card in about 3-8 months

Exactly! That's what I meant, I just didn't remember the name!

The main issue is thinking he was eligible to apply for N400 under those conditions.

They are saying that after the denial he will most likely end up in immigration court. He also said your friend does not know what he is doing because he shouldn't have applied for N400 until everything was sorted out.

If I were him or his lawyer, I wouldn't be so sure that a report hasn't been filed. I would try and gather as much evidence as I could regarding this matter, together with paying taxes. He needs to lawyer up.

What did he answer to the question "have you ever been cited, arrested, or detained...?"
