1 - You can bring tax return transcripts to the interview.
2 - Important
Here is my experience applying under 5 year rule while married to USC:
The difference is, I always filed taxes MFJ, and uploaded them as I filed N-400.
Good luck!
Approach #1
- Print and refill I-485
- Attach other forms as is
- Write a cover letter explaining prior filing was rejected and you redid the I-485 due to new edition
Approach #2
- Forget you ever filed anything, and assemble a fresh packet with everything newly filled
There's no right or wrong in my opinion
Seems like drop in the ocean, but at least something is happening. And there will be time when this thread will have a lot of posts with people sharing their approval news
If you have a completed and signed I-693 in your hand, bring it to the interview. If it is not complete or not signed, then yes get new one from civil surgeon.
Agreed on this one. The only time I didn't file taxes myself it was through HR block. And I ended up owing taxes few months later as they were filed incorrectly. The guy just clicked few buttons and we were done in 10 minutes.
Filing myself it takes 2-3 hrs, by taxes are done correctly with max deductions.
HR block for taxes are like notarios for immigration cases.
Regarding biometrics, you never know, but it's a fair assumption.
Receipts tend to take 2-8 weeks. May be on a longer side if you asked for fee reduction or fee waiver.
Yep. Don't share date, time, location and your name. But at least text
So bring it. How long ago did you do I-693? After April 2024, it doesn't expire so no need to get a new one if it's complete.
Were all vaccinations completed on I-693? Wad the form completed by civil surgeon?
Does USCIS have your I-693 now or you never sent it after it was rejected?
Thank you very much!
Exactly my thoughts. I was ready to defend myself with tons of evidence. I prepared all possible answers. I'm glad attorney saved me time and nerves during the interview though 😃
