Hi Fellow Visa Journey members, I'm preparing my N400 application under the 3 year rule (married to a US Citizen). I'm reading the instructions and the N400 form (I'll fill it online, but I'm familiarizing myself with it beforehand). There's a question that bugs me (see below + attached screenshot): I've filed all my federal and state taxes every year (using HRBlock) to make sure everything was in order for each tax year. Context: My wife and I got my visa from the UK where we both lived (consulate processing), and moved to the US together mid-year in 2023. So I effectively became resident in the US mid-year 2023 onwards -- when we entered the US. Now when filing taxes, my accountant filed for me (Married Filing Separately for tax year 2023) using a 1040 dual-status (since for the first half of 2023 I was not yet a US resident). Similarly for my state return, the accountant filed a 540NR (non-resident or part year resident). This is such that I only paid taxes on my income from the time we arrived to the US (not including any income prior to me arriving in the US since I wasn't a resident then -- e.g. my UK income from early-to-mid 2023). Because the the State form is specifically called `540NR (non-resident or part year resident)`, I want to be extra cautious as to how I answer the question Part 9 Question 4 on the N400 form. I'm leaning towards assuming that I can safely click `No`, but I would love to have the reassurance of VJ members that I'm doing the right thing. I assume this is the standard way people file with the IRS every year when they move to the US mid way through the year? All the best, Screenshot 2026-03-07 at 19.54.59.pdf

Card being produced as of today! 🥳 So very grateful (and lucky) to have had such a short turnover (and very relieved too !)

Biometrics done, now the wait begins. The very nice person at the biometrics appointment did tell me that I'll receive the 10 year green card via mail. I wasn't sure if that was a generic statement, or kind of a sign that things may go faster (maybe wishful thinking on my part haha -- any idea?)

Thanks so much 🙏 I can’t wait to receive the NOA 😁

Awesome, thank you so much 🙏

Just received the text with the Case number! How do I get the Online Access Code to add the case number to my USCIS account? I saw in the Feb or March 2025 filers that someone asked for a code via chat to a USCIS person?

Thanks @ArethisPT. I should have clarified: We went through consular processing, so neither my spouse nor myself had an account created with USCIS when we got the original CR1 Visa (everything happened in person at the Embassy/Consulate). When we moved to the USA using the CR1 Visa, and I got my green card through the mail a couple weeks later, I created a USCIS account for myself using my A-number to try and update my address online (I couldn't do it through the online account, so filed paper forms instead). But given that no documents were associated with this USCIS account, I couldn't find my USCIS account number anywhere so filed my i-751 without a USCIS account number. Will I be able to attach my application number to this USCIS number once I receive it? Or will I have to create a new USCIS account?

Submitted I-751 packet on 04/15/25 (in transit) I see a lot of folks posting their timeline for the processing of the I-751. Where do you go to see this ? I have an account on the uscis website but couldn’t find my uscis number because I had no prior documents attached to this account. Will I still be able to add/see my I-751 processing steps on there ?
