If you are married under 2 years when the I-130 is approved then when you are granted the green card your marriage date has past 2 years, do you qualify for a conditional green card or a 10 year green card? Is the approval considered when the I-130 was approved or when you go for the interview?

"I plan to submit my US citizenship application (N-400) on **July 10, 2025**, in Seattle. However, I will be traveling outside the US (to China) for ** May, and June 2025**, returning back to Seattle just before filing.

1. Does this trip break the **"90-day state residency requirement"** (living in WA for 3 months before applying)?

Should I delay my application until after staying 3 months back in Seattle? Thanks!"

Hello everybody,

My SO and I are planning to file under the 5 year general provision. We were looking through our IRS transcripts and for a particular tax year we noticed that the transcript shows 0 for balance and penalties but has a $0.17 of accrued interest. We called the IRS and they are puzzled and do not see any balance on the account. Two separate agents reassured us that we don't owe any money to them despite what the transcript says. So, what do we do here? Is this going to be an issue? I would love to pay off any balance but according to the agents there is none to be paid off. All other years say 0 for balance, interest and penalties.

TIA!

I have a 10 year green card now, however in the past my I-751 was denied once and I reapplied again and got it approved. The law as I understand is the conditional resident is still an LPR even when I-751 is denied, until a judge adjudicates on his case. I have a international travel coming up and worried about the overactive CBP now, who might see that my I-751 was denied in the past and despite having a 10 year green card now, might want to use that to pull me into secondary or make it difficult for me. I want to be prepared. There was some directive by USCIS in this regard (like a PDF document) that stated the policy that Conditional resident is still a LPR even when I-751 is denied. I googled it now but couldnt find it. If anyone has it or could point me to where I can find it, I intend to keep a print out of that, just in case. Thanks.
