But on the other hand, how is a brand new shiny immigrant to this country suppose to know all this stuff? Recalling back when my gal said yes to marriage, did hear rumors about the INS up to that time that led me to the USCIS. After I saw that long list of forms, screw this noise, going to find a good immigration attorney. Why does everything dealing with the government in this country have to be so damn complicated. Would hate to read their instructions on how to open a peanut butter jar, more than likely will be 10,000 pages long.

Are you all being serious? I filed my wife's visa, aos, and naturalization papers. They were all very straight forward, although tedious. The forms are simple, determining what the USCIS considers sufficient evidence of a relationship, well, that involves some black magic.

How? For starters, there is such a thing called A guide for new immigrants issued by USCIS that covers everything - from apartment to jobs, opening a bank account and guess what - there is a section on taxes as well -- paying taxes - page 38.

Most embassies give you a packet of information when you come to pick up your visa. Packet includes a flyer for new immigrants, info on removal conditions and what if you change your address.
