https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/find-study-materials-and-resources/study-for-the-test Anything related to your immigration history, marital status. This depends on whether you have I-751 pending. If you do, make sure to bring your spouse and updated marital evidence. Tax returns are useful to have to prove good moral character. If you had any criminal convictions - documentatiob around that. Any marriages / divorces, kids info. I'd bring those.

USCIS has 120 days to issue a decision after N-400 interview. Did the other person have combo interview too? I wouldn't worry for another month or so. Your case is still being processed quickly. Only a year ago it was not unusual to wait a year for N-400 interview, but you got it in 6 months. If you never applied for N-400 you'd likely be hearing nothing about I-751 for another year or so. Keep us updated, I'm sure you'll hear from USCIS soon!

Processing times are available here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ To me, 3-4 months is a high expectation. Maybe few lucky ones were processed at that speed, but I wouldn't count on it. Interview in a month certainly happens, not sure if it's the norm though.

Theoretically you can but I wouldn't. You don't have any solid status in the US until you get GC.

Good luck and keep us updated. Hopefully they'll do something about your case soon!

That's not unusual. In USCIS time you filed 10 minutes ago

You got the answer from @Crazy Cat In addition: "Tax evasion is a felony. Any attempt to “evade or defeat” a tax is punishable by up to $250,000 in fines ($500,000 for corporations), five years in prison or a combination of the two, according to the IRS Tax Crimes Handbook. Plus, you’ll also be responsible for covering the costs of prosecution." Not working doesn't equal no income. Do you have any income? Are kids of working age? Do they make money? How does your spouse file taxes now? Single (incorrect) or Married Filing Separately? If any of these, you're required to file taxes under Married Filed Separately and repory any income of your own over $5 More info: https://www.greenbacktaxservices.com/knowledge-center/us-citizen-abroad-taxes/

Regardless if it's a husband or wife, just ask your spouse to amend taxes. He/ she/them (I'm sorry if I use incorrect pronouns) may get better tax break.

Law abinding citizens pay taxes. Yes, your passports can be in danger if you don't pay taxes. Furthermore it can even result in jail time. Nobody in their right mind would be saying it's ok not to pay taxes...

LPR status can only be terminated by immigration judge, unless you file I-407 yourself.

I-485 filers are not "illegal". Yes, there is some percentage of overstayers, but many more adjusting their status from work visas, student visas, K-1 and other valid statuses. I wouldn't label this large group of people as illegals.

You're not applying. Your fiance starts the process. Your location should not matter at this stage.

If you visit twice this year and once next year (April-June) that's plenty of visits. If you travel too often you'll risk getting in trouble with CBP. It's not a one way road either. You fiance can visit you and kids back in your home country. I wouldn't renew ESTA with 1 year still on it. Don't forget, ESTA can also be denied... No application = no denial.

Congrats! Why not CR-1? You don't technically apply for K-1. Your US citizen fiance files I-129F at this stage.

Yes, that's the right category. This only works if you file I-765 with I-485 or while I-485 is pending.

I'd answer "no" since you were not a subject and attach scan of J1 visa or DS-2019 (this might be even better)

@MMara here is why:

You absolutely should bring your spouse and be ready for combo.

Not sure where this comes from. Before the oath you will be asked whether you had any trips between interview and oath date. You can list those. As long as you're not barely meeting physical presence and continuous residence requirements that a short trip would disrupt, you should be fine. I wouldn't travel, but you're free to if you need to.

Gotta file I-90 ASAP

Don't you have an old GC + extension letter? You can travel with those no problem

No. But is her GC already expired or about to expire? No

Resident since date + 2 years - 90 days If Resident Since date on GC is April 25 2024, then you should file I-751 no later than April 25 2026. Ideally within 90 days window prior to the date, which would any time after January 25, 2026. I'd recommend aiming for first week of February 2026.

No issue at all. As everybody already said, GC supercedes any US visas in your passports. You can also safely renew your passport if it's close to expiration. Majority of European countries will allow to renew passport online and will return your old passport by post if it has any active visas. And make sure to file I-751 sometime in April / May of 2026 depending on Residence Since date on GC (within 90 days of 2 year anniversary)

This should not be an issue if you carry your receipt for I-485. Yes, name should match the ID.
