  1. If you had income and didn't file taxes, that's really bad. One can be fined and even jailed for tax evasion... LPRs and US citizens must report their world wide income to IRS.
  2. I see what you mean. Makes sense. CBP taking ownership is commendable. I though they'd fine airline after denying entry to somebody who they said was OK to board plane. Wouldn't airline need to pay for passenger's return flight? Or they'll try to pressure passenger to cover the cost? Just curious as I don't know much about airline industry.
  3. Check this page: https://secure.ssa.gov/ICON/main.jsp If it gives you any other number than 1-800-772-1213 , then call it
  4. That's funny though. I'm pretty sure CBP wouldn't guarantee somebody will be admitted to the US. So in effect they're saying: "Airline, go ahead, take a risk. We're not 100% sure we'll let the person in, but you can fly them"? 😃
  5. Quote from manual: "USCIS has 120 days from the date of the initial naturalization interview to issue a decision. If the decision is not issued within 120 days of the interview, an applicant may request judicial review of his or her application in district court. The officer must base his or her decision on the laws, regulations, precedent decisions, and governing policies." Link: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-b-chapter-4 I'm sure they're just calendar days, but I wouldn't be surprised if USCIS interprets it as work days when required
  6. From carrier guide: "A Lawful Permanent Resident may travel to the United States without a passport with a Permanent Resident Card (Form I-551). Cards with expired I-551s may be boarded without penalty if the card was issued with a 10-year expiration date. " But how likely airline is going to honor it, is a question.
  7. Nobody can tell you with certainty. But API may be somewhat more reliable. You can speak to 3 different agents and get 3 different answers.
  8. Yes, don't create confusion by providing doc with conflicting name. Interview is guaranteed for N-400, so bring it there.
  9. I'd say better not include current version. Bring it to interview or upload corrected later.
  10. I see, I was adjusting in 2019, so things may have changed by then. Thank you for sharing your experince.
  11. Couldn't agree more. Also, I'd add - don't be worried if MyProgress completely dissappears or shows "Your case is taking longer than expected". Both are irrelevant
  12. CSPA calculation is: CSPA Age = Age at Visa Availability − Time Petition Was Pending Using this calculation, was your child under 21 or over 21? This determines whether CSPA applies to him.
  13. Agreed, I had AOS before COVID. Interview being waived wasn't a thing at all.
  14. For that, you should have received confirmation proving you changed address. You cannot justify not updating address because you think they'd think something. Not needed
  15. Sorry for late reply. In my case, QR code directed to "scheduling system", which was office locator with wrong phone number pretty much. This is the QR code I saw in SSA itself and on the print out empoyee gave me. The only thing, employee wrote real phone number on paper under QR code, which helped me to schedule appointment.
  16. Please read my first message in the thread, it explains everything in great detail. If you're calling 1-800-772-1213 to make appointment, forget it. Nobody picks up phone there. I found direct phone number of my SSA office by going there in person. Google Maps, other things showed the number above which nobody ever answers. I use online to check whether they're working on my request. Again, more details in prior messages. Good luck!
  17. On the day of my oath, estimate showed 3 weeks until decision... Oh wait, I mentioned it already 😃
  18. Too early for anything to happen. You can expect it to be decided between March and June on 2026
  19. Abroad means outside of China in this context
  20. If USCIS knocks on the door of your permanent address tomorrow, would anybody answer it? Considering how much time your spend outside of your house, it becomes a difficult question to answer. I would be inclined to listing your hotel address in history and explaining living situation in cover letter for I-751.
  21. I'm really sorry about your situation. If your son is unmarried, it would take 10 years or so whether you're LPR or US citizen... There's nothing really you can do. By law he cannot be given visa any time soon.
