    Yes, separately for security reasons.

    Are I-130s for kids on file?

    Some vaccines are not administered after certain age. Civil Surgeon will waive those as not applicable.

    If you don't have a physical GC there's nothing to extend. For job, you can and should go through I-9 verification by showing a valid state ID (or valid Driver's license) and unrestricted social security card. Employer cannot demand to see a green card. You can tell them you're permanent resident and show the docs I mentioned. Having said that, you should get I-551 stamp in foreign passport to have proof of status. Did you move since filing I-90? Any plans for naturalization?

    I'm not a tax expert, it just appears to me OP wants to save some bucks on tax. I cannot rule out all possible creativity that goes into that. I wouldn't bother doing any of this to stay out of trouble with USCIS down the line unless savings can justify it

    They need to know her immigration history and establish the fact she met the terms of her visa. I did J-1 around same time as your wife. "It was in 2014" may not going to satisfy them. I did J-1 year or two around 2014. I still have my DS-2019. Even as LPR.

    1. Nobody can ever give 100% gurantee she'll be fine spending 6+ months outside the US without reentry permit 2. This resets her eligibility for naturalization, as breaks continuous presence test (for USCIS) 3. Her claiming to be non-resident for US tax purposes can bar her from becoming a US citizen in the future. N-400 form has question : "Since you became a lawful permanent resident, have you called yourself a "nonresident alien" on a Federal, state, or local tax return or decided not to file a tax return because you considered yourself to be a nonresident? "

    The fact she has GC makes her pass green card test, meaning she's the resident for tax purposes.

    December 2024 filers stats as of 02/26/2025 @ 4:15 PM ET: No new approvals, but few people got ceremony scheduled. Slowdown for Dec 2024 filers is obvious @Edward and Jaycel

    Have you checked Documents tab in MyUSCIS?
  11. OldUser
    N-400 cannot be approved without I-751 being approved first. I won't be surprised if I-751 is stuck now. You have somebody else (K-2) who you do not have a contact with... This is not a typical situation with K-2. Your I-751 case might have been approved if you modified it uncheking the box saying daughter is applying for ROC with you. But I guess it's a difficult personal decision to make.

    Not required

    Everybody who participated in J-1 program should have had DS-2019. Reach out to program organizers, they may have records. Does she have old passport with J-1 visa in it? One reason USCIS needs DS-2019 is to determine whether she was a subject to rule 212 (e)

    I think this is very personal and depends on many factors, including countries of citizenships. But it is indeed very fast in your case!

    This makes a lot of sense, thank you. Over the years I looked at N-400 paper form and remembered there was a question like this. When it came time to file my N-400, I filed electronically and this was never asked. The edition changed without me noticing. Great, mystery solved 😃

    You're right, everything you outlined is correct

    This is nothing to do with US immigration
  22. OldUser
    Agreed, it's a yes, until LPR earns 40 quarters of social security or becomes a US citizen

    Yes, it's possible. There's whole thread where people discuss assets rejections. Also, each joint sponsor should make enough / have enough assets. Unless mother and sister combine finances?

    The two common things causing confusion when using online form are: - Married filers who file under general provision freak out why final form doesn't mention spouse info. This is normal, as not required under 5 year rule - Married people living with kids scratch head when asked about child support and seeing warning. It's not applicable in this situation. It's only for parent's supporting kids after divorce or who they don't live with etc
  25. OldUser
    Yes that's true. Good luck!
