Yes it will be an issue

I just installed a monster mail box so that carrier is less likely to fold it

Therein lies the problem. If you don’t think she qualifies for a state ID with your address then it is hard for you to argue that she is in your physical custody. What address does her most recent AR-11 use?

MFS. I have seen reports that professional tax preparers can get authorization to efile MFS when the other spouse has no TIN Regardless, HR Block could have printed the forms and OP could have mailed the forms. There are 3 facts here: * If you have a tax liability you have to file a tax return to obtain an immigration benefit * If you owe taxes, you have to file a tax return * Nobody can force an alien not residing in the U.S. to get a TIN I believe this is discussed at length in:

1. Is your German attorney licensed to practice U.S. immigration law? If so, defer to your attorney 2. While civil offenses are less likely to prevent one from obtaining a U.S. immigration benefit, they are still offenses that might have to be reported to U.S. immigration authorities. Some lawyers say minor civil offenses such as speeding 15 mph over limit do not have to be reported and some do. My general suggestion is that if you have all the documentation of a civil offense, that you report it 3. A defamation civil offense definitely rises to the level of being required to report 700 € is also > $500 USD 4. A habitual offender of civil laws can be inadmissible. You have 3.

K-1 is slower than CR-1

I am thinking the lawyer has bad experiences with lack of notarization and is using a one size fits all. It seems to be a thing in other countries too.

Generally when it comes to Morocco stuff I have to give @JeanneAdil the benefit of the doubt. They (never sure if it is Jeanne or Adil writing) have been through the mill with that embassy.

Report H&R block to the IRS for facilitation of tax evasion Meanwhile file MFS. Do it yourself if you can’t find a competent tax preparer. TurboTax, taxact (some say this option lets you edible), freetaxusa, etc.

One reason is because minors can age out of immigration and citizenship benefits. Once first I-130 is approved you can wait for all the others to be approved before proceeding with NVC processing. You should inform NVC at least once a year that you are waiting for other I-130s to be approved. Then once all approved, you can file a DS-260 for each beneficiary that indicates the names of the other beneficiaries (aka traveling companions). Ideally the embassy will 1. schedule a single interview and 2. Issue the visas all that the same time. However this doesn’t always happen. Given the number of I-130s in flight, consider the possibility that one or more family members will travel to the U.S. activate their immigration visas before the other(s).

They will not link them. They will not approve them at the same time. That’s generally not desirable.

Hmmm So Earl would have likely been an LPR since April 2018 because he filed a joint petition in Jan 2020. This filing was presumably 90 days before the 2 year gc expired April 2020. Hopefully Earl’s “resident since” date is March 2018 or earlier.

My wife was woman in her 40s when she entered the U.S. for the first time when she entered on a non immigrant visa. Her N-400 interview notice said the same thing. Were you age 26 or older when you filed I-485?

Welcome to ceac!

I would * get a her a state ID with same address as where you live. That’s your evidence of physical custody. Any effort you can extend to shield her from an N-400 process would be ideal. * after your naturalize, spend at least one night with her at the facility and get evidence that you did so. This is your insurance policy. * then file for yours and hers passport books and cards. * preserve the documents of your agreement herb the facility, invoices, etc. * then the N-600 process as per my original comment. Unfortunately she might have to attend an N-600 interview

I had trouble following all that but it seems you got a parking ticket If so I would not mention it on I-751 and N-400 filings. In your N-400 interview mention you had a street parking ticket.

Can’t be done in general.

As of today 2023-03-07 “ Application Status: Not Available We cannot provide a status update for you at this time. It may take 2 weeks from the day you submit your application until your status is "In Process." During these 2 weeks, your application is delivered to a mail facility, your payment is processed, and your application is entered into our system and sent to us. If your status update is "Not Available", we may be experiencing a temporary technical issue with our online status system” I hate this agency. The check was cashed of today though.

yes Yes so I’ve wondered about that case. I usually think about the case where the child is in boarding school. Arguably boarding school is still physical custody because the child is there at the choice of the custodial parent. In the case your daughter being in a facility, I have some questions and I am trying to be as delicate as possible. My apologies if these seem intrusive and cause you pain: * is she there voluntarily (as it is as her parent you have placed her there for her benefit)? * is she permitted to have vacations from the facility in your physical custody? * are you permitted to have over night visits with her at the facility? Understandably you want her to acquire U.S. citizenship without the ordeal of a naturalization interview. btw, I expect your question and my comment to be spun off into its own thread. Given the urgency and sensitive nature of your daughter’s situation I’ve chosen to answer here and now.

Does not matter.

I doubt @ROK2USA did that and she was successful. People achieve DQ with warnings about insufficient incinerator all the time. I see it at least once a week.

By law you must maintain continuous residency after filing N-400 all the way through interview and oath. Definitely file in January 2024, and if you haven’t taken oath before you move abroad, file I-131 to get a re-entry permit and naturalize 5 years after you take up residence in the U.S.

In general that isn’t the case in the USA. You’ve enough going on that you need to talk an immigration lawyer. Turns out there are 3 lawyers in Germany licensed to practice U.S. immigration law: https://www.ailalawyer.com/english/SearchResult.aspx?practice=&prac=&language=143&lang=German&city=&state=&st=&country=28&cy=Germany&zip=&miles=100&last=

Following the advice from visa journey and the initial embassy of Rangoon, I sent my fiancée on a grand tour of south East Asia to collect 4 police certificates thousands of dollars later we were now ready for the medical the last step before Rangoon would schedule her interview. I sent a proof of medical in hand to Rangoon and and they said after reviewing her case, she needed just one police certificate, that from the city of her current residence. So you might get lucky and the embassy won’t ask. Several months later I asked my wife’s immigration lawyer, why the police certificates went unused, and she said “K-1 is a non immigrant visa and so Congress doesn’t require the embassy to require police certificates”. 🤦‍♂️
