US Immigration from Vietnam

I, a USC, got my step son (under 18 years old) to the US on an IR2 visa. Currently attending HS and living in the US. His visa expires in two months. What are the next steps to get him extended? Are there forms to file?

Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,

My wife is applying for citizenship.

My first question is related to estimated taxes. We pay estimated taxes every quarter, but I made one of those payments late. It didn't affect our taxes because we didn't owe anything on our income taxes and received a refund for that year. Will this be considered paying taxes late? Our taxes were up to date, but we did make one payment late.

The second question concerns our income related to subsidies for Healthcare marketplace. We estimate our income every year and have insurance through the marketplace. Our CPA says that if we fall short of the minimum required income when we file our taxes, it is ok as long as we had a valid reason. Is there anything to worry about related to falling short of the minimum required annual income?

I wanted to make sure that these two issues are not something that will affect her application for citizenship.

Thank you,

John

I'm a military spouse and currently stationed in Germany. I got my conditional green card on October 2023 then I joined my husband in Germany on Jan 2024. On Aug 19, 2024, I filed N400 under 319(b) and mailed it to Chicago Lockbox.

60 business days passed and I didn't receive any receipt of notice. So I contacted them and luckily got my case number. I immediately emailed Fairfax office (WASNN400.OVERSEAS@DHS.GOV) to transfer my case to their office, however, I haven't received any response from them. I contacted USCIS contact line couples of time asking about transferring my case to Fairfax office. All of agents I talked to insist that I must send a letter of transfer request directly to Fairfax office. After I mentioned that I included a cover letter of transfer request in my application, they told me to wait =.=.

For some reason, it took USCIS 4 months to send out my receipt after I made at least 10 phone calls and 5 e-requests of non-delivery of receipt. I recently received my receipt of notice in Jan 2025 and noticed that it was issued by NBC at Kansas even though I included request of transferring my case to Fairfax office.

My ROC window is opened in July 2025 and if I don't get scheduled for interview by then, I must file for I-751.

My spouse and I are planning to move back to the states as soon as I get my citizenship. The longer we stay in Germany, the worse it hurts our finance because I couldn't get a job in base due to not being a US citizen.

I appreciate a lot if anyone can come up with any solutions to deal with this. It's such a big hassle when I must drive to base after 1500 just to make a phone call to USCIS.

I recently did a FOIA request regarding my (now) spouses vaccination record, as she was not given anything back at her POE in Newark. I filed on her behalf in Mid November and we got a response the day after Christmas. Yesterday I got an email saying there had been an update to the claim/case number. I logged into the first.uscis account and everything had been purged. Following this, today I received an additional email. I am attaching a screenshot. This strikes me as a bit odd. Also, how do I respond? Do I reply to the email? I am not certain what they are even referring to as far as the ENTIRE set of records. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks in advance

Seth

Hi everyone,

My I-129F petition was transferred to NVC 3 week ago. My case was given a case number. When can I upload my relationship timeline (including pictures) to NVC website? Thank you so much
