  1. I'm also in the same boat as you. I became a US PR in 2022 and just now received form NR4 from my Canadian RPP which I still haven't closed. Did you end up figuring this out? I think as long as you report your accounts on FBAR and Form 8938 you should be fine, but not sure on actual US tax obligations.
  2. I moved to the states last year in October and filed my taxes on-time. I was self-employed and paid all my taxes, however due to not paying quarterly taxes last year, the IRS assessed my paper tax return and determined that I owe some penalties (less than $100). I just paid them by logging into my IRS account. Will this penalty be an issue when applying for naturalization? I know naturalization is so far out (can’t apply until 2027) but I really want to make sure I set myself up properly and do everything on time. To make this possible, I’m going to try to get my quarterly payments sorted starting next month. I’m just concerned because I realized I skipped Q1 and Q2 payments for 2023 - will those penalties be an issue when it comes to my application for N400? Will paying them off keep me in the clear? Thanks.
  3. Oh alright, thank you. So my dad should be fine? I’m just confused and hope someone doesn’t think that’s the expiration of his green card.
  4. Oh okay. I was talking about the September, 20th, 2023 date. That’s the date that my visa stamp from last year didn’t have but it had the date of endorsement.
  5. Oh really? When I came last year mine was empty. So I was confused. So we should be okay?
  6. Looks like this. The bottom of the visa says “UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 FOR 1 YEAR”
  7. Just crossed via land border. Dad got his visa endorsed (stamped). However, it shows our date, the class of admission, and at the bottom it shows the “until” date as the expiration date of the IV. Is this normal? I thought this was supposed to be empty? The visa does say it serves as a temporary I-551 for one year.
  8. Alright, that makes sense. This trip is also going to be the one where my dad's immigrant visa gets endorsed. Hopefully everything is fine. I'm budgeting an hour or so at the border, considering they'll need to look through our shipping boxes and everything.
  9. Forgot to clarify, yes she already got her visa endorsed and is a permanent resident. I meant this would be her first time back to the U.S. with the actual physical green card. And that's good to know. Hopefully the reentry permit application is also proof that she intended to come back. My mom also filed her taxes and maintained her bank/credit accounts too.
  10. Hi, I’m wondering how lenient CBP is with trips that last more than 6 months. A bit of context: my mom and I came to the US last year, mom decided to go back to Canada and wait for my dad’s case to get approved (he got DS 5535). I made sure to apply for a reentry permit for my mom, but she hasn’t received it yet. She got her biometrics done before leaving the US 6 months ago. Since then, my dad’s case got approved and my parents sold the house. They are planning to cross the border and I’m wondering if my mom should be fine given her ~ 7 month stay outside the US with a pending reentry permit? This would be her first ever entry to the US as a green card holder. My parents also plan to take all their boxes/shipping stuff across the border. Any advice would be appreciated.
  11. Oh yes you might be right! Called the local physician and they confirmed they are all sent electronically now. Interesting that they didn’t ask for new photos. I wonder if they’ll use the originals? They’re more than 6 months old. I guess we’ll find out
  12. Hey, congrats!! We’re almost there too, they requested the medical. I’m curious, it seems they want them delivered via courier, and not electronically. Do you remember if you sent your medical via courier or did the physician send them for you electronically?
  13. They actually never ended up asking for the paper copy. The officer pulled everything up electronically on the computer.
