    https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/learn-about-citizenship/naturalization-eligibility-tool if you go through the USCIS n400 eligibility checker it gives you this .. Your eligibility may depend on where you moved from. You need to wait to apply if you moved to a new state or USCIS service district in the last 3 months. You may apply once you have lived in your new location for 3 months. i guess it depends on the urgency for you of filing asap compared to the risk of denial

    Standard response to anything being slightly unusual. If you have good documentation for your situation .. particularly current income and the ongoing job when you relocate, then ignore it and take everything to the interview Nvc is a clearing house .. the Consulate IO has the decision making authority

    Nope. Cant file MFJ without ITIN or SSN. But must paper file not efile so you can write in NRA for non resident alien

    The DMV and other agencies/ institutions should accept the SS card in the maiden name and the GC in the married name by presenting the marriage certificate at the same time. No need to wait if she already has a SSN and card

    File an amended return. Paper filing only. Instructions found on the IRS website. MFS Whether ir not filing single will be a problem with USCIS is unsure. They want to know that you filed taxes .. not necessarily filed correctly. My personal approach is to do things as correctly as i can.. so I would be refiling .. other vj members choose not to ..

    It is

    No. Just insert the $ amount Moved to NVC forum as this best fits the thread

    Yes. Start with the I130. This will take 12-15 months for approval. Then the NVC processing and it will finally go to the consulate in Columbia for the interview She can visit using an existing visitor visa while the IV is being processed.. but she is unlikely to get a renewal with an IV pending v useful link https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html

    Please fill out her home country , consulate and timeline .. lack of specific info makes it hard to give accurate answers

    Having 94 yr old parents still in Australia, i really know the challenges you're facing Trouble is, the immigrant visa comes with big consequences and its not really a “ if needed, rainy day” option. They cant tuck it away until they need or want to use it .. this visa will expire in June .. you need to have really frank discussions about both options ., them coming here.. ready or not .. or them choosing to stay in Canada and the challenges that will bring if they are not able to come when they are “ready”. There are no easy, good or right decisions .. they need to decide and then you all manage the consequences of their decision knowing its all you can do

    Search for I 131 on the uscis website. Thats the reentry permit. Its for staying outside the US for up to 2 years without being presumed to have abandoned the US LPR status. Its not specific to staying in Canada It does not change anything regarding the presumption of being a US lpr .. so it doesn't change the taxation, Canada health care eligibility issues. They will be required to comply with IRS regulations , reporting of non US financial accounts etc from the day they become LPR

    If your consulate is still issuing paperwork in the sealed packet .. most are now using electronic processes .. there will be an outer mailing envelope which contains your passport and also the sealed packet. You must open the outer mailing envelope to access your passports.. but leave the inner sealed envelope intact. Are both passports in the same mailer ? If they are, then its safe to say that the paperwork for both applications are in the same sealed envelope. Just my thinking ..

    Entering on their US immigrant visa means they are immigrating .. they cant be visitors or snow birds any more .. it just doesn't work that way. If its that critical that they do not immigrate now, then let this visa expire .. apply again after it has expired (July) and the new visa process will take 12-18 months.

    Agree with @Ontarkie about the tax challenges of selling property after becoming an LPR. It is generally way cleaner to have all assets liquidated and in a bank cash account before entering the US. The IRS treats withdrawals from retirement accounts, for example, as taxable income .. a huge impact if your hone country treats withdrawals as tax free or reduced tax liability.
  17. Lil bear
    They are entering the US as immigrants .. that is what will be seen by Canadian authorities Yes .. if they cant manage these consequences then they need to not come until they have finalized things in Canada but before the visas expire
  18. Lil bear
    Yes. NVC stage comes after the I 130 approval which is estimated to take 10’months. Note estimate only

    Read thoroughly. Read again https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition.html

    Search the timelines for Sydney consulate. Moved to Regional sub forum for Sydney based replies

    Assuming it is a short work trip .. Many people do.. should be a normal crossing. If asked answer honestly ..business trip.. returning to Canada ..

    Freedom of information request..
  24. Lil bear
    not an issue. You have 10 years to import personal effects and household goods Your situation is common. How long you stay isn't an issue with incoming
  25. Lil bear
    1. Yes 2 Apart from an FOI.. nowhere that i know .. FOI not warranted here. If you can use the additional info section of the I130 to explain its not available .. do so.. but don't worry over it
