    Yes, since the instructions say to include evidence starting from the date of marriage, the first year’s return is relevant. Like I mentioned earlier, I would still include the transcript (as that proves that the IRS accepted it) along with the complete return which connects the dots to your MFS filing status.

    Others will disagree, but since the I-751 instructions essentially say to submit as much evidence as necessary to establish that the marriage was entered in good faith, I wouldn’t worry about how much is “too much”. For our part, we sent in about 80 photos with the initial submission, 4 to a page and captioned only with date and location. If you look at my post history you will also see that we have continued to upload additional unsolicited evidence, including more photos, every few months.

    I see your timeline shows that you did the CR1 process. Your mileage may vary, but if the immigrant beneficiary already had a myUSCIS account that was used to pay the USCIS immigrant fee, it’s possible that the case will be added there even if no online account number was included on the form (keep in mind that not everyone is assigned such a number). Good luck. Edit: that is if I am reading your post correctly that you can access the account but just didn’t have the online account number.
  8. JKLSemicolon
    For consistency it might be worthwhile to include the transcripts for all years, plus whatever additional documents you want to include for 2022. You mention filing jointly in 2022 but are you sure the status wasn’t married filing separatly? If filing jointly you would have had to submit a paper return along with form W-7, supporting documents, and a statement from both of you requesting she be treated as a resident for tax purposes. This is not something an accountant could have done the way you described. Also, if you had filed jointly both of you would have appeared on the return transcript (I know because we did this our first year).

  11. JKLSemicolon
    I agree with this. While USCIS’s own examples mention the possibility of filing as soon as the window opens even under similar circumstances, @OldUser makes a good point that the 5-year travel history on the form will be much less questionable if waiting until 5 years after the return date from the long absence. If I were in that situation, waiting an additional 90 days would be worth it to feel more confident and less stressed about the process.

  15. JKLSemicolon
    Good eye. It appears that not all the info out there is up to date. In that case I would defer to the form instructions which mention 90 days: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf
  16. JKLSemicolon
    Correct, although the standard recommendation is to wait until at least a few days into that 6-month window just to be on the safe side.

  18. JKLSemicolon
    Read the example with the specific dates again, it's saying that one can apply 4.5 years after returning from the break in residence under the general provision.

    Just including a link to the verified source of what days count as physical presence for everyone’s benefit: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-d-chapter-4

  22. JKLSemicolon
    Note to moderators: I see there are now three separate January 2025 filer threads, perhaps they can be merged?
  23. JKLSemicolon
    Great, if that’s the case it sounds like everything is in order.

    I am questioning when/how any biometrics came to be on file in this case.
  27. JKLSemicolon
    I find this confusing since you are removing conditions after originally entering on a CR-1 visa, and I am not familiar with biometrics already being on file when going that route (as opposed to those who have previously provided biometrics during Adjustment of Status). Maybe others can weigh in on that?

  30. JKLSemicolon
    Just curious, is that 10-15k figure something you just threw out or were you actually quoted that amount by the attorney? Because I would imagine the cost of filing a petition through a lawyer to be much less - without any of the shadiness of finding a previously unknown person to be joint sponsor, that is.

  33. JKLSemicolon
    Did you answer all of the questions about the crime truthfully and correctly on the original N-400 application and at the interview? It’s not completely clear from the wording in your original post.
