Urgent! THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW LETTER.

[RIDION 0]

Hi! My naturalization interview is on the 1st week of June. Today, I received a USCIS mail in a yellow paper that read, THIS IS NOT AN INTERVIEW NOTICE; asking me to bring 3 years of original IRS Form 1722 or to complete Form 4506.

During the N-400 application I sent a letter of explanation why I don't have income tax forms. And this is because my husband's disability pension is tax-free & I took care of him instead of working. My husband told me that there's no need to file IRS forms since I don't have an income. Now, I am in a quandary since the interview is fast approaching. What shall I do? What form should I use? What is the process? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This same question keeps on popping up on this board, the IRS and the USCIS are two different government agencies, and if applying for the three year marriage privilege, the USCIS wants to see three years of joint tax returns even though you are not required to file according to IRS law.

Although not required to file tax returns below a minimum wage level, the IRS recommends you do so as you may be eligible for additional benefits. Won't do any good for filling out the 4506 form, request for tax transcripts, if they don't have any of your returns.

Should be able to file an IRS form 1040EZ for tax years 2009, 2010, and 2011 and have a stub for these years showing your disability income, see a tax accountant, mail those in and have three signed copies for your interview. Or you can do it yourself.

Since you did not file taxes there is no way you can provide tax transcripts. You should then submit Form 1722 which is a verification of non-filing which IRS provides to confirm that a taxpayer did not file taxes for a particular year. It can be requested by completing IRS Form 4506-T, checking the box marked "Verification of Non-filing" and mailing it to the IRS or by calling them and have them faxed it to you. Yes 4506-T is Request for Tax Return Transcript but that's what you need fill up. Just check item # 7 for Verification of Non-filing.

Goodluck on your interview and I hope you'll pass and have your oath the same day too! I had mine done in Denver too and I know you can do it!!!

I applied for citizenship in Jan 26th 2012 and have received a notice saying that i am in queue of scheduling. No further notice i received. However i did get a yellow letter asking the same information. I have received all the transcripts for tax returns for three years and stuff. should i also mail it to USCIS?

Thank you NickD & pepper for helping us out...

My husband talked with a supervisor from the USCIS. She said not to bring any of the said documents if I don't have it, as long as I have "justification." And if I wanted to not that I have to...I can bring my husband's 4506-T as well as the letter from FPPA stating that he has a tax-free disability pension. Just to be sure, I submitted my own 4506-T form to the IRS and I am hoping that i'll receive it before my interview date. Just in case, it does not arrive on time then I have to rely on what the USCIS supervisor told us & copy what antda did on her naturalization interview: (a special thanks to antda for your post that serves as a reference for some of us here)

@ Andy desai...I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm sure somebody from VJ will help you out, too. Good luck to the both of us.
