    Taxes prove good moral character which is a N-400 requirement.

    It generally helps to include as much information with initial submission as possible. It's not the end of the world, it's possible you'll get an RFE for tax transcripts before the interview. Others can correct me.

    It doesn't make any sense. Tax return for 2023 ia independent from tax returns from previous years. I would've included everything I had / could get and brought 2023 tax return to the interview. It's not the end of the world, but could result in unnecessary RFE and delay. You're right, employment history is asked in part 8. I just still don't understand how anybody can file N-400 and the very next day remember something is missing. To me it just means, it was filed in a rush without preparation. You can prepare an errata sheet (ask lawyer about it) and update your application at N-400 interview. This, along with missing tax returns is decreasing the chance of instant approval and same day oath.

    Essentially, what you're saying you did not provide tax return transcripts for 2019-2023 in your N-400? I don't understand the rush to file semi-ready packet, especially when you sent the N-400 a day before your early 90 day window filing started... W-2 and 1099 usually not required for N-400.

    FYI January 2023 filers finally got their interviews / oath just now at SF field office.

    No, I've monitored cases and seen this before. Your case may sit without updates for a year and then biometrics will get reused / you'll get called for an appointment. Or the case may get approved / denied / you'll get RFE without any other updates in between.

    What I was saying, the conversion should have happened formally. Because it didn't happen, the case was denied. I suggested converting it before it was denied.

    Yes, NOA1 aka extension letter is printed on green colored, watermarked paper. You should only travel with original letter and expired GC. Many airlines won't board you with a self printed copy of NOA1. Some people got lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.

    Show up and explain at the interview.

    If not kids, any LPR or US citizen can be a joint sponsor. They don't have to be related to you. It looks as if USCIS is not happy with your income. Did mention joint sponsor in the letter? If yes, you should look hard for one. Otherwise, no qualifying sponsor = no visa.
  12. OldUser
    Do you have a joint sponsor? Can you download tax return transcripts from IRS website? I doubt you can use your house since it's not a liquid asset, especially if it is your primary residence.

    Get tax returns transcripts from IRS website. They're usually 1 page long per statement. Do not submit partial information, e.g. "first two pages". This usually results in RFE / NOID and delays.
  14. OldUser
    You can always try

    It's normal. Green Card is never held at USPS office or forwarded. I tried both and neither worked. Make sure to file I-90 or at least submit a request for card non-delivery. Print confirmation, take to oath.

    So you do have a joint asset. Yes, it is depreciating but you do have it 😊 that's in answer to:
  17. OldUser
    Why don't you have it? Even if you don't drive, you can go to a DMV and apply for a Real ID. It's super useful in daily life: from certain purchases at pharmacy / grocery store to verifying your identity with employer or at the bank and flying domestically in the US. I think it costs no more than $50-60 depending on your state. Go get it tomorrow.
  18. OldUser
    Do both. What if N-400 is pending for a while and you neeed to travel internationally?
  19. OldUser
    He will need the letter to board the plane. Airline staff will ask for it. Also, Global Entry is a hit or miss. When kiosks use facial recognition, neither GC nor extension letter is required. When kiosks asks to scan the document - GC won't work and you can't scan extension letter. In this case he'd need to speak to a real person (CBP). I had both experiences. Most recent was in July 2023. Had to speak to a person and show extension letter.

    I don't know if we are when you take inflation into account. I believe when I filed I-751 in 2021 the fees were the same. Now see what they should have been if fees were increasing with inflation...

    Do your best to obtain a proper copy of IRS tax return transcript from IRS website. You can submit Turbotax return transcript, but don't.get suprized if you get an RFE down the line. What's the problem with id.me? It doesn't verify you? You may need to speak to their support. I had some issues getting verified, it was annoying for sure.
  22. OldUser
    More like 10 years + whatever processing time at the time OR 24-36 months with a hardship waiver. OP's wife will mostly have a ban upon leaving the US.

    I'm not an expert in this field. My understanding is, you'd file I-130, it would get approved. But you won't file DS-260 until your spouse is ready to move to the US.
  24. OldUser
    I'd think it's the GC that grants visa free entry to Mexico, not a reentry permit.
  25. OldUser
    Tourist visa. But you gotta realize that it may be denied, it's not guaranteed.
