Hello,

Had a question about tax transcripts. I am filing for my wife's N400.

All previous tax returns have no issues, but for last tax year, I went into self-employment in addition to my regular job. Closer to filing deadline, it was a mess trying to figure out what I actually owe and get all the expenses together etc. so I filed for an extension and made an estimated tax payment. Found an accountant who specializes in my field, and finally got everything sorted and filed accurately in October before deadline. The tax liability turned out to be greater than the estimated tax I paid, so I was charged a "late tax penalty" with interest. My wife is strictly W2 but we file jointly. I set up a 6 month payment plan and paid it all off recently (3 months before due date of payment plan). My question is, will this affect GMC? The penalty was only a couple hundred, presumably because I didn't make estimated quarterly payments or my estimated payment at time of extension was not enough.

Thank you.

So my husband joined the navy and just got his orders.. Do i update the application? if so how do i go about it?? Do i just upload his order letter?? Or do we just wait until the interview if given one??

Hello everyone, finally my USC wife and I are ready to send the AOS package, with the I-130, I-485, I-765, affidavit of support and medical exam.

We were just wondering if the evidence that we have is considered enough or strong for USCIS to corroborate that our marriage is real.

We currently have:

- Joint lease agreement showing same residency
- Joint renters insurance policy
- Wife s retirement plan showing me as the only beneficiary.
- Last statement of joint bank account with Bank of America + debit cards + recent movements on the account.
- Authorized user on a Chase credit card + screenshot of expenses made with the card.
- Additional user on power bill
- A couple of sworn affidavits
- Emergency contacts
- Email, call and text history
- Photographic evidence, A LOT (+15 pages), receipts of vacations and plane tickets.

That's all we have right now. Filing taxes jointly was an option, but not worth it because we'd have to pay taxes on my foreign income (self employment taxes), and would make us owe to the IRS, when filing married separately would get us (her) a return of over $500.

Thank you all

My wife and I got married through a proxxy marriage so that I could bring her with me to my next base. Poland didnt recognize the proxxy marriage though. Do we just go to a courthouse in the US and send it to Poland ?

Hi everyone, I m filling out an N-600 for a child from Egypt and I m confused about the name section.

He has 6 names total, and under Egyptian naming convention they re not really middle names in the Western sense. The issue is that his name is shortened differently on different documents:

• Egyptian birth certificate = full name

• Egyptian passport = shortened

• green card = shortened differently

• Social Security card = shortened differently too

So I m not sure what the best way is to fill out the USCIS name fields.

Can you just put first name + last name and leave the middle name blank?

Or, if the person has multiple names, do you put everything that isn t the first name or last name into the middle name field?

I m trying to figure out what people usually do in this situation, especially for N-600 or other USCIS forms, so it matches USCIS records and doesn t cause problems later.
