State Taxes

[Glorya 0]

Hi all,

I'm having my interview next week and I was wondering if I need to take in state taxes along with federal? We've filed federal but haven't filed state yet. Should I do it before the interview?

Any other thoughts on the process?

they are interested in the federal return, so I don't think they will ask for state or else they would mention it as part of the evidence suggested list.

Most likely the IO will only ask for the federal taxes but there is a chance for him/her o ask you for the state taxes as well. I would definitely file the taxes before the interview but not only because you have the interview. You don't want "mom'n'paps" to come knocking at your door few years down the road, trust me .

You want proof, I've got proof, did bring our state taxes along, but IO didn't want to see them, but did want to see that utility bill. Only one, from our local electrical company. Natural gas, telephone, and cable company are all distant with an 800 number that leads you from answering machine to answering machine, when you finally get to talk to a human, they don't want to make those changes and state, not enough room in the computer field to do that.

Could take the USCIS to federal court as that utility bill is not specified, just some dingbat IO you may get stuck with, or maybe just the field office.

But just want to get it over with. Didn't even make a copy of it, maybe just all BS, but did cause major delays with friends.

Can also ask why some field offices have same day oaths and most others don't. Wife had to read the oath and sign it in front of her IO, the ceremony was just for show and with a large group of people, could get by with lip service. Just another long trip and another vacation day used up.

You know something, my wife and I live with my brother who owns the lease, bills etc.. and since my interview letter doesn't mention anything about Bills, lease, Etc.. I'm only taking my Tax Returns, marriage/Birth Certs, GC, and passport and going. If they ask me for the rest, well sorry I don't have it. I've been married for 6 years and already went through all the other steps, if they don't like it. too bad!!

If you been married for six years AND held a LPR card for five of those years, you won't need all that other stuff, actually just having a LPR for five years is all you need. My step daughter will be applying soon and doesn't have anything except for the clothes on her back. I don't anticipate any problems for her because she is applying for the five year.

Just feel the USCIS goes nuts on this three year thing, we just went through all that for the I-751 and wife would have never received her LPR card in the first place if we weren't legally married and I wasn't a proven USC.
