    US citizens must file taxes on their world wide income. Additionally, they are subject to FBAR and must report any money over $10000 in their foreign accounts.

    Your entire immigration history can be reviewed during interview. Not necessarily will, but can be.

    Welcome! Are you filing under 3 or 5 year rule. Within 90 day early filing window? Is 10/25 the first day you become eligible?

    PDFs from IRS or printed copies of these PDFs is good.

    Return Transcript is the only transcript USCIS / DOS are interested in

    You can always use certified translation by somebody who speaks both English and Dutch. However, there's tons of translation services online who do it every day professionally for a very modest fee of $20-50. I'd use those to ensure it's done right.

    No. Study online https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test

    I had biometrics reused so never had to go to appointment. Maybe it's the same case for you? Check documents for your case as well as case status history

    MyProgress estimates can be safely ignored

    Congrats!
  11. OldUser
    Yes, if it expires before you use it, it's like you never had it.

    It does say "Additional fee"?

    It's so funny, because I watched every episode, and this question was asked maybe 5-10 times. And he always said it wasn't a problem.
  14. OldUser
    Ain't going to fly in my opinion. It's obvious you just want to jump the line.

    I see this in instructions for I-129F, thank you. Looping in @Edward and Jaycel as somebody who went through process not long ago

    Delete please

    Nobody (as far as I know) gets denied for building stronger case with compelling evidence. People get delayed or denied every day due to ignorance, laziness or underestimation when they build a weak case.

    Did you call the YouTube lawyer about this today? I-751 doesn't apply. You were married for 2+ years when he entered to the US and became LPR.

    $1500 is in addition to filing fee of $1440 IF you file I-485 with immigration court. You're filing with USCIS, so just $1440. So you can see how being in removal proceedings can be more expensive. If your husband is out of status, and put in removal, filing for adjustment will be even more expensive with additional fees. Not to mention lawyers would want a lot to represent him too

    Late - won't reject. You are US citizen. Overstay is forgiven for foreign spouse (if I-485 is approved) Incomplete - will reject
  21. OldUser
    I would not file incomplete packet. It will most likely be rejected and returned. You'd just lose time and money. Maybe, just maybe, you can send AOS packet with I-864 filled by yourself for now. And maybe, instead of straight denying your case, USCIS will send NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny) or RFE (Request for Evidence). Usually they'll say they could not determine you were eligible to sponsor on your own and ask for joint sponsor. This can buy you some time. But there's huge risk involved and I would never recommend this. But is it better than filing late? Probably, is in my opinion. But there is a risk it may get denied and you will lose filing fees
  22. OldUser
    Unfortunately, no. The main thing is to get married within 90 days when on K-1 visa. It's great you did it. Filing for adjustment after 90 days is possible, but bear in mind, spouse will out of status and be subject for removal if found by ICE. It can be very stressful and even more expensive if you have to deal with detention and immigration court
  23. OldUser
    Can you please give an example? If form tells you to skip questions based on your answer, you don't have to type N/A, you can leave it blank.

    US is a big country, and can fit different types of lifestyle, but it sure is expensive. The work culture is pretty intense subjectively (at least compared to certain European countries). The health insurance arguably gets very expensive as you get older. Have you ever visited the US? Do you have family or other connections in the US? If I wanted a peaceful chill life, US wouldn't be in the top of places I'd pick. Australia can be a better fit for more laid back lifestyle (though it is expensive too). On the other hand, if you want to work hard and build a decent retirement, it's possible in the US if you're in your late 30s / early 40s.

    Essentially, once you activate immigrant visa, the general expectation from US immigration officials is for you to start living in the US. They may be OK with few months away to wrap things up before you move permanently. But ultimately, green card is for living in the US. It's not a fancy tourist visa.
