US Immigration from Philippines

Hi,

We are almost ready to enter the US and will do so by the end of Feb., 2020. We are currently living abroad. My wife was approved for the IR-1 visa. We made a USCIS account online and paid our 220 dollar immigration fee.

The USCIS site lists my wife's mailing address but not a phyical address. My understanding is that this address is for the mailing of her green card. We don't want to enter the address we now live and would prefer to enter the US physical address. Is it alright to leave the physical address blank at this time. It does list our US mailing address. BTW, we are still living where we were when we had the interview at the US embassy. So they should have valid and up-to-date information. What would you advise us to do? Can we wait to enter the physical address until we enter the US and take up residency? Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Hi guys!

ive been LPR for 5 yrs now and working on my n400.

now my question is, for 2019 i only made less than $5k for a couple weeks of work.... I was living off my savings that yr coz i stopped working..

since im applying for naturalization, i have to file taxes

im a single mom and have read online that i will be eligible for earned income tax credit .. and will receive money from the IRS

would this make me a public charge and cause issues with my naturalization? Coz i really dont care if i dont get a refund. I just want to get this n400 over with.

thanks everyone!

Hi Everyone,

So I tried to send an expedite request to NVC as initially I sent the death certificate of my late husband last Dec15,2019 but still no feedback.

I sent my request last Feb5,2020. Shall expect their before feb14? are they going to respond whether the expedite is approved or not?

Thank you.

I have a friend from Nigeria who has been in the US and married an American woman in 2009 here in NJ. They have a child and are happily married.

How long would it have taken to petition his 6 year old daughter back in Nigeria in 2009 vs petition her now in 2020 @ 18 years old and unmarried. Was the petitioning time in 2009 shorter than in 2020? Thanks for answers.

Any December 2019 filer at Texas Service Center?
