My Filipino wife and I have traveled to the Philippines many times. We’ve never been asked for any supporting documentation. We have never even had to ask for the Balikbayan benefit. They always automatically give us one year. Since my wife became a dual citizen, she always travels on her U.S. passport. She never brings her Filipino passport. When your wife becomes a dual citizen and travels with a U.S. passport, you’ll notice that her U.S. passport includes her “Place of Birth.” When she travels that way, she will automatically get a one-year stay. If she travels on her Filipino passport, of course she’ll get an unlimited stay. Still, if she’s not a dual citizen, it would be a good idea to have a copy of your marriage certificate in case you run into a cranky Filipino immigration officer.

Hey everyone, So I recently traveled outside of the US twice and had no issues coming back. I do want to highlight though that I drove out to Mexico. I didn't fly out from the US. I want to make that distinction because I think it's a different process driving through the border than arriving at an airport. Every time I've arrived at an airport from an international flight, I get sent for extra screening and this is where I think I would have an issue. That's not to say it wouldn't happen by driving through, but so far when I drive in I get through very quickly and easily. In fairness, I would still say to be cautious and be prepared in case you go out and run into issues. I prepared everything for my wife in case anything happened, such as how to notify my work, making sure I had savings for her and the kids to be okay, a lawyer to call, etc. NEVER sign anything and do not speak unless a lawyer is present. All things anyone should know. Good luck, everyone!

I received the text with the case number around 4 pm EST. 04/02 - Biometrics reuse notice added to my online account around 10 pm EST. Now it says "Case is Being Actively Reviewed by USCIS", which basically means we put your case in a corner until we feel like it. It's kinda odd that the receipt notice is not available on my online account. Anyone else having the same issue?

The year you sponsor an immigrant is not the year to delay your tax filing. Yes, upload your complete federal tax return and any applicable W2 or 1099 forms. If employed, upload a current pay stub too. The foreign spouse should at least have a copy of the current pay stub in hand for the interview. That's how they know you STILL qualify.

Your passport can be expired. There's no requirement to have a valid passport for N-400

MyProgress showed 3 weeks until decision on day of my oath 😃

Also, many countries allow applying for second passport. So you can keep one at US embassy and travel on second one.

Thank you very much!

Due To Tough Economy, Professional Tesla Bomber Forced To Take Second Job As Bernie Rally Attendee PORTLAND, OR — Even people with the most secure jobs in booming industries reported feeling the widespread financial squeeze, with one local Tesla bomber forced to take a second job as a Bernie Sanders rally attendee. Devin Hansbrough, a successful Tesla dealership firebomber, said that while gigs for George Soros and various NGOs have been steady, they aren't enough anymore. He now works a side job being paid to attend Bernie rallies to pull in extra income. "Every little bit of money helps," he said. "I had my biggest month of bombing Teslas ever in March, but with how expensive everything is these days, it just made sense for me to pick up a part-time job going to Bernie rallies just to make ends meet. Fortunately, I enjoy both jobs, so it's not too much of a hassle." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/due-to-tough-economy-professional-tesla-bomber-forced-to-take-second-job-as-bernie-rally-attendee

Finally decided to file the N400. Did it on the last day of march, so I am joining you guys now haha. I applied under the 5 year rule. Germany finally allows dual citizenship since last year.

Hi, I’m almost there with completing my concurrent filing (I-130 and I-485) for my husband of UK origin. I have 2 questions. I currently do not work as I am in the process of looking for a job. I haven’t had any income while living abroad for the last 4 years since we had our kids I have been a stay at home mum. So for my I-864 I will be showing zero income and no tax returns. I am attaching a letter explaining why I have not filed my taxes over the last years. we have a joint sponsor, who is a friend of my fathers, who we (myself, husband and 2 kids) are currently staying with in the US. As he is not related to us we will be using him as a joint sponsor. The question I have is for my I-864, my household size is 4. but for his, because he already is a family of 3, (himself, his wife and daughter) does he put his household size as 7 to include all of us, just my husband to make it 5 or just his family? my brain is leaning towards 7 based on what I’ve read everywhere. But I just want to be sure before committing. any help would be much appreciated.

I bought the flash cards from Amazon and they were really helpful. I was asking my wife those questions everyday. In the end I also learned all the answer without studying any material https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BV25MW58?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

Curious how long your son has lived in China since getting his green card?
