If you’re pending security checks, ombudsman may not be able to help. Security checks have to run it’s course..cannot be sped up. Just be patient.👍

Okay, Thanks. 

It's over 3 years and I'm tired of USCIS delay.

But, a friend can not claim you even if he has been helping you for 12 months .

And secondly, the dependent did not have any social number in the tax year 2021.

So, legally it's a NO. Many people taxes has been held by IRS because of that. Some of them has been  coming to our tax office with friends claiming them as dependents. we where audited by IRS for that and almost loosing our license. So If the person Is not related to you and has her own social, he or she has to file for their own.

There is bracket in your tax return form to fill if a person has been helping you financially for more than 6 months during the tax year. And that will boost your taxes for more returns. You can even mention the name and the amount that person has been helping you with during that tax year. 

Finally, how can you claim somebody as dependent without he or she having any social number in that tax year?

 

It does not matter when SSN was issued to file taxes.  You can file back taxes when the SSN is received.  Also, there are no rules on who can file for a person as an adult dependent.  They have to have proof of support for that person for the year.  If you almost lost your license for that, your staff was not asking for proof of the ability for that person to claim someone as a dependent.  You can file taxes with a ITIN number.  There is a question when you file taxes, can someone claim you as a dependent?  SHe can say yes, and then her friend can file her on her taxes.  You can be married and someone can file for you or your spouse as a dependent.

hello dear family @sandraj, I am expecting to receive my GC next week, God is good the wait has been so long

I am a bit afraid that my ex abuser will find out that I have a GC and might write to uscis saying lies about me to affect my GC status and eventually when I return from abroad the immigration officer might deny entry, can someone tell me if this is possible to happen?  can the lies and whatever my ex abuser writes to uscis affects my re entry to the US, or affect my future naturalization application?

Please let me know

Why not proceed with the USPS online change of address to a reliable person?

So, you will just trough USPS website, pay the filing fee using your credit card and the changes will be effective within 5 to 10 business days. 

If you do it, before your card is mailed, the USPS delivery system will see it while dropping your letter in your mailbox. Then they will put a hold and then forward it to your new address registered in their system. 

So,you can then later called the new post office, using the tracking number sent to you by uscis for follow up if you want. 

I did that with my combo card last November and it worked perfectly well.

Hi @Rhema @sandrajsorry I apologize that I was not clear, my GC will arrive to another safe address,

what I would like to know is that somehow my ex abuser eventually will find out that I have my GC, because her sisters work at immigration lawyers office, and also because we have a bit of mutual friends and maybe from social media too.

USCIS (and CBP) have seen this all before.  Relax.

As far as vawa is concerned,  I don't think they can acknowledge any third parties calls or writing without your own permission. 

Vawa is an extremely sensitive and protected case. No third parties words or opinions will never be recognized. 

That's why uscis always asked to send any queries related to vawa by writing with your own signature to Vermont.

Are you waiting for I360? Or I485? I'm 2018 filer too , i485 still pending with the same answer security check 

[Happy1982 124]

Hi Folks,

 

My I360 was approved and I received the approval notice today. When I sent the package for the I360 I also wrote a letter asking to transfer my current I485 to my vawa petition.  Anyone has an idea about by when I will see vermont transferred my case to my local office, or maybe someone can guide me about the next steps. I'm not sure if I need to submit a new I485 with the fees or if with my previous one is enough?.

 

Thanks for your help and advice.
