  1. Yes, this seems like everything. Don't forget when it says "bank statements", "IRS tax refurn transcripts" it's asking for more than 1 statement and all pages of all statements. So if you submit evidence since your marriage until filing N-400, there's going to be a lot of evidence of bonafide marriage.
  2. Nobody cares or needs extension letter more than you do. I'd do everything to get it from old address if it goes there. Also, you can try filing a request if you don't receive the letter: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDNForm.do; jsessionid=08E5FD1FD9BC*****************6F3?sroPageType=ndn&entryPoint=init
  3. Using assets has a great chance of being disregarded. I can find dozens of reports on VJ when USCIS wasn't satisfied with the assets. Without I-864 approval, there won't be GC issued.
  4. You should get online access code. Most likely mailed to your old address. Without this code you cannot see extension letter online. Also, online extension letter is pretty useless. You cannot travel with a copy, you need the original. Employers may not like it (if you use GC for I-9 which is also a mistake). And DMV is hit or miss with copies.
  5. Yep. I had slightly different scenario with similar outcome. I was in process of moving when my I-751 was approved and GC got produced. No matter what I did, the card arrived to the old address on the day of my actual physical move as I was loading the truck! And I did try updating USCIS, putting Hold Mail and attempting mail intercept.
  6. One useful tip... If you had USCIS Informed Delivery at old address, don't change it yet to new address! You may see whether extension letter is coming to old address. And it works even better if your spouse has new address in USCIS Informed Delivery. That way you don't miss the letter regardless where it's mailed. Also, it's a big benefit if you know prior address management / owner people, so they can let you know if letter is coming for you and you can collect it.
  7. Anything can happen now, sadly. If you asked whether you should file before or after moving, I would have recommended filing I-751 after moving to new address. Especially if you were still in 90 day filling window.
  8. Haven't flown from Frankfurt, but CDG in Paris with United. United should be familiar with the letter. But make sure to come to airport nice and early.
  9. Same here, filed under 5 year rule, spouse is attending too just in case. But the main reason is, I want to share my oath ceremony moment together if same day oath happens.
  10. Same here. Filed in December, got interview in March. Thought I'd have to wait 6+ months. Good luck! Are you both going to the interview?
  11. Moving forward, it's always good to make physical and digital copies of official documents including passports. With J-1 you should have had DS-2019. I'd take that for sure. If you can get I-94 for old passport(s) that also may be helpful. Typically, passport with cancelled visa such saying "cancelled without prejudice" is a good evidence to reassure consular officer you did everthying right.
  12. Why would you do that? This can result in RFE or unnecessary scrutiny. You're sharing info with US government.
  13. Yes. Any time you were in the US physically is counted for SPT. Even if on ESTA. Even on tourist visa. Even if without legal status.
  14. Work is illegal under ESTA. It doesn't matter where income was made. If OP is a tax resident in the US, tax will be paid on worldwide income. Yes, tourists who spend too much time in the US routinely become tax residents in the US even if they never work in the US and make money elsewhere.
  15. No... Not zero. You will be considered a United States resident for tax purposes if you meet the substantial presence test for the calendar year. To meet this test, you must be physically present in the United States (U.S.) on at least: 31 days during the current year, and 183 days during the 3-year period that includes the current year and the 2 years immediately before that, counting: All the days you were present in the current year, and 1/3 of the days you were present in the first year before the current year, and 1/6 of the days you were present in the second year before the current year.

  16. I think I understand what @Brent and Hayley said now The interview was scheduled on 02/03 for some future date that is in few weeks from now.
  17. I imagine this would become relevant at K-1 interview. Evidence you're planning to support your claims seems sufficient.
  18. Based on what OP is saying, he downloaded app provided by embassy, but it's asking for proof of a valid status in the US, such as green card.
  19. Only an unverified rumour, but I heard this question exists for a reason. If anytime in the future US needs to denaturalize somebody, this question and answers to it could be used as a convenient pretext. Remember, Al Capone served his time for tax evation and not the insane crimes that were committed including murders.
  20. You can safely ignore Andrew's channel. He's catering for multimillionaires (10M+). Typically this is when taxation becomes a real issue. I was thinking maybe that's why you're seeking to renounce.
  21. Silly question. How is UK taxation system related to your life in Spain? If you live in Spain full time, you're not a UK resident for tax purposes and don't owe any taxes there? And in this case, why do you need to bank in the UK, wouldn't be easier to bank locally?
  22. Nah, I'm European but I think the best format is Japanese... Year, month, date 😃
  23. You mean 03/02? Because 02/03 is already behind us.
