Brother Hesekiel

Is that a trick question?
 
You will submit your federal US income tax return for 2013 now. If you don't owe any income tax, there's no late fee, no punishment.
AFTER you did that, you can truly answer that you never failed to file a federal income tax return.
The question is whether or not you filed late, but whether or not you failed to file. So file!
Problem solved.

I have a poor opinion of government workers. In my not-so-humble opinion, folks who work for the SSA and the DMV are in large part dumb as a piece of cardboard, and about as useful.
That doesn't apply to I.O.s though. They are actually quite smart.
 
A Kraut who is a Green Card holder is not allowed to study in Germany. That would imply being a RESIDENT of Germany, as she can't be an international student in her country of citizenship. That's the first thing that will caught any I.O.s eye who is adjudicating her N-400.
 
The continuous residency is not broken when a Green Card holder is absent for less than 365 days in a row. But any longer absence from the United States, all of which need to be documented, will be subject to scrutiny. She doesn't want that.
 
my thoughts to you is that she doesn't file her N-400 before she has 5 years of clean residency, without any significant absence. She can file as soon as she has been married to you for 3 years minus 90 days.

In all honesty, I think you should prepare to move to Africa.   That sounds like an aggravated felony, making him subject to removal.......I would be surprised if they don't immediately deport him the very day he is released.. On what grounds do you think you can fight this?  He was convicted.......

Well IF he gets deported the you either move with him to his country or forget avout him. I assume it won't be possible for him to come back to the USA. 

Because they are peddling to the far left of the party . Its hip to be for "dreamers" (hate that term) and illegal immigrants. It fits into there own made up narrative that they (illegal immigrants) are somehow being taken advantage of and so poor and also because most of them are "brown". 
 
Lefties always love to think they are morally right or have the moral high ground. Then when they paint all the dreamers as poor brown people disadvantaged and all studying to become doctors, lawyers, nurses etc... fighting the mean republicans who want to see them deported as soon as possible (even though they are and never will be a deportation priority if they stay out of trouble according to ICE) that makes them an easy political talking point to make people think the democrats are the ones listening to the minorities and it all ties in well with there agenda of getting immigration populations on there side to vote for them soon.
 
Thats why they always want citizenship for them why not just give them like 5-10 year EAD/APs (which has been proposed by republicans) which serves two purposes. Keeps them safe from deportation IF THEY STAY OUT OF TROUBLE and pretty much have all the same rights and privileges of a permanent resident but with no way to sponsor all of the family members like the parents WHO BROUGHT THEM HERE AGAINST THE LAW.
 
Such a clean bill with maybe modest border security should pass really easily if it wasn't for those Dems looking for new voters.. Oh well
 

There's a lot of ways, such as the remittance tax that could easily offset the 'cost', which either way, a lot of Americans really don't care where the money comes from as long as it gets done. The US wastes enough money on other things. Take some of the "aid" taken away from other countries, the UN, ect, and apply that towards it. That would definately offset the cost of things.

Ok, Mexico may say that all they want but all they have to do is put a small tax on the remittances going to Mexico to help pay for it. It's pretty simple to think about if you look beyond the rhetoric and talking points on both sides.

Have you thought about talking to your wife and asking if she will leave? From your tone it sounds like you want immigration to get rid of your wife for you.
 
It's highly doubtful ICE will make your wife a priority when there are an estimated 11 million people living out of status or illegally. USCIS is not Amazon where you get to return the package if you're not satisfied.

So what's wrong with President Trump? I think he is doing a fine job

Remember that double taxation applies to you even if you hold a green card - as a LPR, you are treated the same way for taxation.  So, if you are an LPR, and want to avoid the double-taxation, you would have to give up that status.  If you are a citizen and want to avoid the double-taxation, you would have to give up citizenship.
 
Then again, if you are in a country with tax agreements, you may not have any issue with double taxation to begin with...

I'm 60 years old now, and I still appreciate the opportunity to learn something, so maybe you can help me out.
Name ONE, just one, any one reason, why you would NOT want to become a US citizen.
 
I'll tell you one reason:
You are worth $500,000,000, make about $5,000,000 per year without lifting a finger, and don't want to live in the United States of America anymore. You live on your private island in the BVI, like that Virgin dude Branson. Or your net worth is $350,000,000, like Tina Turner's, and you live with your husband in the most expensive part of Switzerland. And, again, you don't mind never setting foot on US soil again. To avoid double taxation in such a case, you should not become a US citizen. Short of that, there is NO reason whatsover I can think of.
 
You will die as a British citizen, no matter what you do, even if you were to kill off the entire Royal family.

First, not as a lawyer, but as a man to another man, I suggest you don't badmouth your ex-wife. That's not gentleman-like and won't earn you any points for anything from anyone. Sometimes marriages just don't work out, plain and simple.
 
Now to your post. The attorney you consulted is trying to make money off you. It's how he pays his bills. Truth is, the fact that your ex-wife contacted the USCIS is pretty irrelevant, if you can show that your marriage was bona fide. What documents you need for this (the three pillars of RoC) is not part of this advice here an now. You should be able to pull this off yourself without the help of an attorney. We can help you here, free of charge.
 
 

I'm a bit shocked about the inadequate advice given to you.
 
There's only one way forward, and I'll outline it for you.
 
Understand that there are only 2 ways to remove conditions:
 
1) JOINTLY, when happily married, living under one roof
2) SINGULARLY, when divorced.
 
Based on your post, you do not fit into either of the two categories, and unlike you live in a state where you can divorced as quickly as Elvis can marry you in a Las Vegas chapel, you won't be able to do this for some time.
 
So without me having to type like there's no tomorrow, here's how you'll have to proceed:
 
1) File for divorce tomorrow morning. Have your husband served.
2) File the I-751 alone 7 to 9 days before your Green Card expires. Do it via certified mail and return receipt. Do NOT file later than that. Do NOT let your residency expire. A couple of weeks afterward, you'll receive your extension letter in the mail.
3) About a month after you submitted your application, an I.O. will go through your application and notice that you did not enclose a divorce decree, resulting in an RFE for this. Usually, you'll get about 90 days to respond.
4) If your divorce has not been finalized by then, you'll get a one-on-one date with an immigration judge. Usually, that also takes a month to three months. That's when you'll need the help of an immigration attorney. It will cost you about $1K (Sorry). At that appointment, your attorney will ask the judge to suspend proceedings 'til your divorce is final. In almost ALL circumstances the judge will sign off on this.
5) Once your divorce is final, you'll be forwarding the divorce decree to the USCIS, after which they can adjudicate your I-751. Shortly after you should receive your unrestricted, 10-year Green Card.
 

Yes, enter it as a period of unemployment. It won’t hurt your application, and you were technically unemployed during that time.

Your last post said you chose to not pay the ticket and fight it in court...because there is an open court case is perhaps why the ticket is not posted on their system----good advice was given in the responses on how to address it during the interview:
 
 

You got a scam email.  

You correct this with an I-90, not an infopass appointment.  It's their mistake, so don't pay a fee.

Won't be an issue

The one and only thing that *could* become an issue at the interview is the fact that you filed for RoC jointly, stating that you are being happily married, living under one roof, whereas your marriage was already falling apart. As you probably know, there's only 2 ways to file for RoC:
 
1) jointly, if happily married, living under one roof, or
2) alone, with a waiver, after divorce.
 
Based on your statement, you didn't really meet # 1. But, perhaps you just stated it a bit vague. Perhaps you didn't have marital issues 'til RoC had been adjudicated, yes?
 
That being said, the I.O. will most likely just look at your divorce decree, note that you divorced in February of 2017, so way after you received your unconditional, 10-year Green Card. It's really best if you don't get into details of this. Keep your answers short and to the point. Don't poke the sleeping lion with a stick and you should be fine.
 
Sometimes, less is more. Looks to me like your case qualifies for this.
 
 

In general,  those who entered without inspection are not eligible to file for AOS. They have no status to adjust from.
 
There is another ongoing case here for a TPS beneficiary who entered without status and is using a circuit court ruling to have their TPS qualify as being inspected. This is very YMMV...it only applies to those who live in certain areas and is still an uphill battle. Here's the thread to review, but I would suggest seeking professional advice from a good immigration attorney before going down that path, if you even qualify.
 

TPS doesn't give you a pathway for residency
 
you don't qualify to adjust status unless your last entry was legal. since you entered illegally they are requesting you prove that you have a petition under the 245i law. you will have to withdraw the petition
 
some people with TPS got an advance parole, left and entered legally to the country. that was years ago. I'm not sure that is wise now, and if you even can
 
only if your last entrance is legal you can file for concurrent filing, if not you will have to go through consular filing but first you will have to file a waiver and your spouse do the hardship letter
 
 

Exactly as stated above.
 
1) By failing to file for AOS within 90 days of entry, you have been (and still are) out of status and subject to deportation. You're likely not a priority for any such action, but it is a possibility.
2) You can only adjust status through the K-1 petitioner. Anything else would require leaving the US first (and a waiver for the 10 year bar due to overstay).
3) Technically, if the husband wants to proceed with the process even after divorce, this is possible under Matter of Sesay. But he has to be willing to support you via the I-864...typically this is not a responsibility an ex would do for you (assuming he even qualifies given the history noted). This is also a very uphill battle even if he is willing to provide an I-864 still.
4) If you leave the US, the USC children can remain in the US. Or, with permission, they may be able to travel with you.
5) Once the children turn 21, they may petition you for a green card.

Nobody HAS to apply for citizenship!

There's many people who are loooooong term green card holders.

Although I wonder why someone would want to live in a country so contrary to the own religious ideals anyway.

There is NO extra stuff to send in when naturalizing early. NONE.

You can object, make this as lengthy and painful as you want. Object, write to the President, protest in the streets. I personally would just zip it and go with the flow.
I have one question for you though: if you are with your husband at home, and an intruder puts a gun at your husband's head and is ready to blow his brains all over your dinner table, would you beat him with a vase over the head or would you rather move out of the room to avoid the messyness of it?
Same thing.

Nothing complicated about it.
Let's say your real name is Jörg (which was my late brother's name). You could write it correctly as Joerg, but that would complicate things way to much, so you'd write Jorg, the same way you'd write Goteborg instead of Goeteborg for Göteborg.
Your current legal name in the name of the USCIS is the name on your Green Card, unless you've changed it since the card was issued.
 
Now . . . since a name change is built into the N-400, you'll choose your new name, the name you'll be "reborn" with as an American on that form.  A name change can be a change of just one letter, a change of your first name, your last name, all the way to a complete change to a Rothschild or Kennedy. You can't become the Artist formally known as Prince, but short of that, you can pretty much choose whatever rocks your boat. When I naturalized, I chose a name that sounded more Americanized, so that nobody could identify me as an immigrant based on my name alone.
None  of that has any impact on your Danish name, so you'll be have two passports with two different names (identities), perfectly legal.
I have three, which is a lot of fun!
