Because they can. Its at their discretion and we have been seeing more and more RFE if the tax return is sent rather than the transcript.. despite their own instructions
2 requiremrnts you must meet under the 5 year rule
1. present in the US for at least 30 months total ( not necessarily 30 months in a row) over the 5 yr period This meets the physical presence requirement
2. Continuity of residence.. no trips out of the US which are longer than 180 days but less than 1 year, unless you have evidence to demonstrate that you maintained domicile in the US during the absence. Absence over 1 year breaks continuity of residence.
No. You can only apply for DCF through the consulate that has jurisdiction for your country of residence . It is not a right to be able to access DCF. It is an opportunity that may be available but is not guaranteed. It is at the discretion of the consulate.
My understanding is that there is no communication of info from the IRS to USCIS But you are likely to get an RFE for your tax transcript.. so you need to sort out the tax return filing
No you can not. cR1 is a spouse visa. You need to be married in order to have a spouse. Date of marriage must be earlier than completion date of the initial petition
It doesn't need an address .. it is a statement of intent … Dont get tied up
in the use of the word “letter” like a letter
you would write and then post to someone. It is a simple statement of intent
What are you trying to achieve and why ?? Extensions are not guaranteed and not quickly processed .. AOS is an expensive journey with major restrictions on international travel, working and often driving .
If the form asks.. and you have ever had an A number and /or ELIS account then yes .. but these are not deal breakers.. sometimes people cant find what their account # .. A number is on your naturalization certificate
If you have a police report of the stolen , take that as well as the new passport. Buy you should not have any issues attending the interview .. replacing passports is a very common occurrence
Always think about what form is being completed and what its for… the I130 is about establishing your relationship (as petitioner ) to the beneficiary. . At this stage no one in immigrating..yet.. after the petition (I130) is approved then the beneficiary actually applies for a visa .. thats when the current passport info is needed.

Take a few minutes to read through the USCIS info on the link below. The only process open to you and your spouse is the Consular Processing. Forget all the info you thought you knew.. start reading with an cleared head .. and understand the process. It is not difficult and definitely usually DIY.. but understanding and clarity is needed first

If a child is born before entry to the US, the child needs either a US passport following CRBA, or their own visa ( I 130 NVC consulate process.. 2 years for processing)
Either will take time $$ and more paperwork…
I am assuming you are asking about your naturalization certificate. It was issued the day you took your oath. The date of your oath ceremony is the date you obtained citizenship
You have an overstay which will be a problem. I do not believe there is an AOS available through either of the relationships… even if you were in valid status. Your only AOS route has basically gone Others will chine in with some unusual slim chance option though ..
Not a problem as long as you are out for less than 180 days and can get back for biometrics. At the interview you will report any overseas travel that you have done since your filing date
