    For I-9 verification you only need to show the valid DL and unrestricted social security card. If you were showing them GC and I-797 / stamps, it is the cause of the issue with them asking for it over and over.

    Yes

    I think you might have broken continuous residence for N-400. The safest bet is to file when you meet all the criteria. That would be 3 years after the September 30 2023 minus 90 days.

    People do it all the time. It may delay the naturalization by few weeks. The other thing I'd think about is how easy is it to change last name in your original country's passport. If name in US and your country's passport mismatch, it can be a little annoying.

    Just a piece of paper with a table in it as @Stein described:

    For relatively small transfers. I investigated that, for large sums there may be better options than Wise.
  7. OldUser
    Awesome. I hesitated doing this but seems like it should work!

    I used Wise for small amounts. It was great. Explore the commision for larger sums, compare to wire transfer. And always try smaller amounts first before transfering large lumpsum!

    4. Software such as TurboTax allows you to file taxes with minimal effort every year for about $100. It takes 2-3 hours before deadline, typically it's April 15. If you cannot file yourself, you can hire tax specialists who'd do it for you.

    3. Don't have personal experience with UK pension, but I think it's taxable in the US. You cannot easily move everything either.

    2. Not sure you can easily transfer money to the US without setting up bank account in the US in person.

    Wire transfer is the easiest. Not the cheapest but the easiest. If you have under 10K in account collectively throughout a year - you technically don't need to do much when filing taxes. There's first question whether you have foreign accounts. And second question whether you had 10k in those accounts. If not, nothing to be filed

    You can try, but USCIS officer may not be satisfied. You only lose a bit of time and filing fee if your N-400 gets denied. You can apply again when all conditions are met.

    Which state? Also when was the last time you paid for DL? Many states have 5 years until you have to renew. So if you applied for DL while on some other status, had it for 1 year, renewed when you became GC holder, you may only have a year left until you have to pay the fee and get 5 years. That happened to me. I renewed GC twice while on conditional GC. First time for free, and it was like for a year, then paid the fee and got it for 5 years.

    B1/b2 visa

    OldUser replied to kashif01's topic in Tourist Visas

    I saw this question in DS-160 in 2016.
  16. OldUser
    Can fill SS-5 prior to visit to speed things up

    So then application will be denied due to break of marital union with spouses staying in different countries for 11 months. If you want to try, you can. But there's big chance N-400 on 3 year rule will be denied.

    You can try and give us an idea of what happens About a year ago somebody on VJ said they updated GC expiration date and traveled without an issue. But I never tried personally as wasn't sure it was allowed.

    If you will be physically in Vietnam, you have to disclose your real physical address. You cannot put US address when you don't stay in the US, that may be seen as a shady move. You can and should specify US mailing address in the mailing field if you want receive mail to US address instead of Vietnam.

    Hi @ChrisMcFisch it's not very common to have I-751 pending since 2019 in 2024. There are few people who had issues removing conditions due to divorce, fraud allegations etc. I would focus on getting I-751 approved and only then think of going outside the US for long period of time. Your application may be headed to denial and travelling now (or while I-751 pending) won't help. I'd either explore DIY Writ of Mandamus or pay a lawyer to get clarity.

    Same here, I was never able to update expiration when I was on conditional green card. Tried walking to enrollment center twice, and both times they refused to do anything. Didn't dare just updating date online, but now I see people reporting doesn't work. Few times facial recognition worked at Global Entry kiosks, many other times I had to see a person. Still saved me time compared to regular line.

    Typically you need to go through entire medical exam and civil surgeon will have to sign forms for USCIS. What is medical exemption letter? As far as I'm aware a private doctor cannot make any determinations about exams for USCIS, simply doesn't have an authority for that.

    Keep us updated. Looks like left hand doesn't know about what the right hand doing. Attaching copy of I-751 receipt when filing N-400 theoretically reduces the chances of your scenario with two interviews happening.

    The acronym "ARC" stands for "Alien Registration Card" (also called Permanent Resident Card or Green Card.) That stamp in your passport means you were readmitted into the country on your ARC as an "LPR" (Lawful US Permanent Resident.)

    The level of effort / cost may be too much to pursue visitor's visa. Agreed, it's time to explore other great places.
