US Immigration from Iraq

Hi All,

We re waiting for I-130 approval for my spouse and are planning to apply for his ITIN to file joined taxes.

We have my husbands signed w7 and a copy of his passport certified by the issuing agency with certified translation of the certification letter and stamped by the ministry of foreign affairs (such an act for one copy lol).

now I am wondering - can I file the taxes without his wet signature on any of the forms (except w7)?

Hello,

Does anyone know what happens if you miss a biometric appointment due to travel (itineraries available)? I want to apply but I'm also traveling 4 weeks here, 4 weeks there, ... so I am wondering if I can re-schedule after return with boarding passes as proof of absence, or if the application is considered abandoned if they don't hear from me regarding re-schedule prior to the appointment?

Also, will the appointment letter be available online for online filers, or only come via mail?

And I am aware that it's preferred to be around while an application is pending - but life and work and such sometimes require differently

I checked my civil documents in CEAC account. My spouse passport her picture is not clear. Can I upload new one. Does delay my documents to review?

Hi Everyone,

I've been working on the N400 online form for the past days, and noticed a strange behavior:

In the beginning when I am to explain eligibility, I check "Other" and enter the explanation for "Other" in the text box. When I click save/next, it shows the explanation in a box.

Once I save/leave the form, and reload it at a later time to continue, the explanation has disappeared and only "other" without my explanation shows.

Anyone who has experienced similar?

Hello,

I hope this is the best forum category to post these questions - if not, please feel free to move to a more appropriate category.

I received permanent residency under vawa in 2016 and am eligible to file for naturalization under the 3 year rule. I have since re-married, my husband lives abroad and we have filed the I-130 for him to eventually join me in the US. After doing a lot of reading online (we're filing everything by ourselves), I'm left with some specific questions that I am hoping to find answers for:

1) Eligibility for Naturalization

I found some contradicting info wether I would be eligible for naturalization under 3 year rule if re-married to a non us citizen, but no real source to confirm one or the other (in fact I don't see this being addressed on any "official" resource).

Am I eligible to apply under 3 year rule if re-married (to a non us citizen)?

2) Pending I-130 petition for husband while filing under 3 year rule

As a permanent resident I am eligible to petition for my husband. Does having received PR under VAWA, or applying for naturalization under 3 year rule any impact on this? Again, I found some contradicting info that eligibility to sponsor my husband would not be until 5 years of being a PR, but then again no real source for this.

3) Proof for eligibility under 3 year rule

I am intending to file the N400 online and it looks like no passport photo upload is required, and no financials (tax transcripts)? So far I'm planning to submit

- Copy of front and back of Greencard

- Current marriage certificate

- Divorce certificate from previous marriage

- I-360 approval notice

- USCIS Memorandum to show eligibility under 3 year rule as vaca recipient

Anything I am missing here - especially considering that I am filing early under "Other" category as explained above?

Thanks a bunch in advance
