My Son 12yr lives with me in the US with his green card, I got my citizenship last month. Legally he is also a citizen. I plan to apply for passports for both of us, my question is should I include his green card in the passport application package or just a copy? .

Please note, I have already applied for his N600

LPR Mistakenly Filed Taxes As A Non-Resident

I am kindly seeking assistance from the forum on how to go about my situation as I am preparing my N-400 application.

On reviewing the N-400 form I noticed the question below which will be a "Yes" for me:

Have you called yourself a non-U.S. resident on a Federal, State, or local tax return since you became a Permanent Resident?

My 2018 tax return was filed with Form 1040-NR (Nonresident Aliens). My CPA used same form (Form 1040-NR) that he has used for previous years returns before I became LPR. It was part oversight and part ignorance of appropriate tax filling form. I have filed an amended Form 1040 for 2018 which is pending to be processed by IRS. There was no tax benefit on filling with Form 1040-NR as oppose to Filling with 1040, it was a mere mistake and partly ignorance.

Some Background Information:

I own rental properties and have been filing returns on rental income using Form 1040-NR since 2014.

I got my IR1 on 01/06/2018

I became eligible to apply for naturalization on 10/08/2022 (using 5 years rule and 90 days to 5th anniversary of becoming LPR). I have NOT applied yet.

Filed amended return for 2018 using Form 1040 (IRS processing still pending)

No difference in tax benefits for both forms (no refund)

Only income for 2018 is from rental properties (Unemployed for the whole 2018)

Does anyone have similar situation or know someone that does and may know how best to provide explanation to what I will call an innocent mistake? Are there consequences? Please let me know if you need additional information. Thank you.

How long is the wait for Interview in Jamaica and next steps

My mother in law filed IR1 for her husband in March of 2021 to bring him from Jamaica to the USA. They have followed the process until the last email notice from NVC in Feb 2022 stating :

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas.

NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in KINGSTON, JAM to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable).

..no contact since. They have waited but wondering how long more they should wait to do nothing. Should they be contacting Kingston or NVC and who should they be contacting. I have read different statements in regards the interview that he should call to make an appointment, however the email said to wait until they schedule interview for him.

Please advise next steps of where and who to contact for further update. thank you.

My sister is dealing with my parents immigrant visa and they reach the NVC stage. However she is saying that NVC refused payment for my dads visa. She isn't aware what the issue is yet. Has anyone had this issue before and what may have caused it?
