  2. HarryWL started following Orlando Judge Oath Ceremony?

    Is anyone waiting for a judge oath ceremony or had one recently? Trying to get an idea how long they're taking. Had my interview and passed January 4th.

    Unless you were changing your legal name, it would still be at the USCIS office. Does your case tracker say a new card is in production? It's likely they won't issue a new green card because your N-400 has been approved and you had a combo interview.
  5. HarryWL
    Yes by "got approved" I meant waiting 2 years before applying, for the same result.

    Side note, if you did get married now and waited till she graduated college before starting the process, you wouldn't have to go through the removal of conditions process if you got approved after 2 years of marriage.

    I got notification that interview was scheduled on November 29th on case tracker. I logged into USCIS and saw it was scheduled for Jan 4th, took another 2 weeks for physical letter to arrive. Another 10 days later I got a letter saying it would be a combo interview.

    "update personal information" worked for me. Also like the person above mention, the person on the phone was zero help to me.

    I already have the transcripts for 2019-2022, but as it's still processing for 2018, nothing on record yet. That's what I'm hoping for, that they don't even ask to see them.

    I think I'm going to call the IRS to ask if there's a way for them to send me some type of receipt that they've received the return. This quote is directly from the letter. It doesn't seem to mention tax returns, and I wasn't actually required to upload them when I did my N-400 online application. So it seems to be one of those conflicting dos and don't, I hear people getting asked to see them, and others not.

    Feels like you answered your own question. If Hungary doesn't recognize SSM, in the eyes of the Hungarian government, wouldn't they classify you as not married. (Although in a registered partnership). On a side note, I found this article from 2018. https://en.hatter.hu/news/court-hungary-to-recognize-foreign-same-sex-marriages-as-registered-partnerships

    Good evening both of you. I just wanted to come back to this topic for some advice. So this evening according to my case tracker, my interview has been scheduled to which I should receive the correspondence in the mail in the coming days. Actually surprised how fast that happened, because I filed September 19th and it's Orlando, so you'd presume it would be busy field office. I called the IRS last week about my 2018 return and was told that processing would be delayed and my inquiry date would be February 2024. As a reminder I moved to the United States on December 18th 2018 and didn't work for the rest of the year. With all the conflicting advice on both the IRS website and tax professionals on if a return was required, I filed a return just before applying for my citizenship based on my 20k income from Canada before I had any legal status in the United States. Given the delay, and my interview potentially being in the next couple of weeks, I will only have 4 years worth of tax returns (2019-2022). Obviously the big question of if a 2018 return was even required still lingers, but do you see this being an issue for my interview? I was honestly expecting this process to take longer so I would end up with my 2023 return. Thank you.

    I agree, the whole situation around partial tax years is very confusing (even when you have zero income in the USA). I personally went off information on the IRS website and individuals on this forum that said it was required even if you're a PR for 1 calendar day of that tax year. I filed a 1040 with a 2555 (Foreign Earned Income), as married filing separately. I filed a tax exception based on physical presence test, as I lived in Canada from January 1st to December 17th of 2018. The whole thing is still confusing to me and one big headache. I'm just hoping my N-400 interview doesn't happen till around March so that I'll have my 5th tax transcript from this upcoming tax season, so I can use that instead of 2018. I'm also hoping the tax return I filed comes back saying I owe $0, otherwise that'll be another headache.

    I got my PR on December 18th 2018, so I was technically a resident for 13 days. You still have to file a tax return even if you're a resident for 1 day (as I found out a few days prior to applying for citizenship). I had zero US income, but I had to declare my Canadian income and convert it into USD. I then attached a foreign income exclusion document and mailed it to the IRS. That was about 6 weeks ago, I'm going to call them in like 2 weeks to find out the status of my return. Tax returns don't really have any effect on I-751, but you need 5 years of tax returns for N-400 when you go for citizenship. I've also been waiting for my I-751 waiver since September 2020, at this point a combo interview is more likely than not.

    I filed my 2018 tax return a month ago, a few days prior to applying for citizenship. I guess the old saying better late than never applies. It's actually pretty easy to file within past 3 years, usually past that it gets annoying.

    I filed September 2020 and I'm still waiting. Did you not receive the 48 month extension letter? Why would you need a stamp? Edit: Very odd situation that they took your expired green card away, as someone else mentioned you need that alongside your 48 month extension letter. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-resources/handbook-for-employers-m-274/130-acceptable-documents-for-verifying-employment-authorization-and-identity You're legally allowed to, per USCIS, to present evidence from B and C to allow work authorization. So this could be a US drivers license and a non-restricted social security card. Do you have both of these?
