Fingers crossed for everyone!

I just received a big panic on saturday - got a letter from the IRS that in 2007 my employer made a mistake on my W2, and so now they are proposing that I owe some back taxes! argh! what timing lol

On the bright side, I spoke with the IRS lady and she said they know it's not my fault, and at the moment I do not show as owing the taxes... they are just making a "proposal" with me at the moment... (since its clearly a mistake, and not my fault or not fraud) the transcripts I have will still show nothing owing... and the deadline for responding to the proposal is not until after the interview... but still, what timing! so I am just going to agree and pay what they have said right away - get it out of the way, and then look at it properly/contest it more after my citizenship interview! I cannot risk having that hovering over me at interview! it could ruin everything!

Thank you! I hope you're right and I won't have any trouble. On one hand I'm really confident and on the other I'm totally nervous. I'll be so happy once everything is over.

Oh my, this is really bad timing. On the other hand, at least you still have time to take care of it and at least the IRS knows it's not your fault. Good luck taking care of everything, I'm sure it will be fine.

Thanks to all for the support.

I guess i am one of the "USCIS' bad guy" for December!

Good luck for all the interviews and Oaths this week!!!

[jamieswith 0]

Yes, and the lady assured me that my transcripts are still valid... that my account does not show taxes oweing.... and that if i sent the check back with the form, i would never show any oweing....

So i just went ahead and sent a credit card check with the form - i'll chase my former employer later.... for now i just need to get it out of the way in time for the interview...

Regards,

Jamie

Good luck to those with interviews this week....and here's hoping for those last few letter....

I passed my interview!!! Unfortunately I didn't get to do a same day oath, but I had expected that it would be too late in the day anyways.

My appointment was at 2:20 p.m. in Fairfax. We got real early to Fairfax and had a delicious lunch at the "Uno Chicago Grill". After that we had lots of time left since it stated on the invitation I shouldn't be there any earlier than 30 minutes before the scheduled time because of limited seating capacities. So we ran some errands and got to the USCIS office just before 2 p.m. Parking is behind the building in a parking garage, it costs $5 for all day. When we went into the building our bags were screened and we had to go through metal detectors (I had a camera and cell phone in there), but nobody checked our actual appointment time. So I guess we could have showed up a little early. The lady at the reception upstairs was real nice and there were lots of people waiting. But there are also a lot of IOs working there, so people got called up all the time. Around 2:45 my name was called, my husband was not allowed to accompany me. The officer made me swear to tell the truth and then the interview started. He wanted to see my passport, driver's license and greencard, that was it. I didn't need any of the other documents I had brought along. First question he asked me (which surprised me), was, if I had my German "Beibehaltungsgenehmigung" (it's a permission to acquire another citizenship without losing the German citizenship) and if it was still valid. Then he went we me over my application and some things on his computer. Then he had me read a short sentence and write the answer and he asked 6 questions. That was it, I was approved! I signed all the forms and my passport pictures. I asked several times if I should write my full first, middle and last name instead of full first, middle initial and full last name. But he said I should use the same signature I use all the time (e.g. on checks). So that's what I did. I didn't get sworn in the same day but I will have my oath ceremony where I live (they have ceremonies every other month). The officer was very nice and it was a real pleasant experience. I should be relieved but somehow I just want to get sworn in and be an American. Hopefully soon.

Good luck to everyone else!

Congratulations Stella!!! Fingers crossed that you get your oath letter soon.

Congrats Stella. Good on you. Now we need to hear from Maimai tomorrow.

We are going to SF thur morning and spending the night in SF. It is too far to drive and make it in time for the interview. Our interview is 9:30 Friday morning.

Congratulations Stella!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I will be a few months until my interview in Fairfax, but it is really helpful to hear from others and be better prepared.

Hope you'll get an oath letter soon!

Actually, I attended the oath ceremony and got my Naturalization Certificate on March 16. I typed a wrong date in last post and I was too lazy to make correction. Now I can do it after I do have this Certificate in hand.
