OPT unemployment TAX filing
Hi, I was on 2nd year OPT and unemployed so didn’t file for taxes but now I am doing for that year, will this affect my N400 application/interview even if I file for taxes now and don’t owe any money actually to the US? Or what questions can they ask and how should I prepare?
RFE on eb2-niw
I received an RFE on all 3 prongs for my eb2-now last week and feel like my petition was not read at all. The RFE didn’t mention any specific documents I submitted but made a general statements.
1. On prong 1 submitted Congressional acts set up to fund research in biomedical research and articles on the gap and why my field of research was necessary. The US government have a whole initiative on this called the brain initiative. Yet the RFE said I didn’t show national importance
2. On prong 2 I submitted articles I am working on and the ones I have published (I have a masters in mathematical sciences, and currently a PhD candidate, I have engaged in research’s in this field etc so I have the skills). The RFE recognized that it’s been cited but yet said I have not demonstrated that I can advance the endeavor.
Has anyone felt this way and how did you go about it?
Fingerprint
Hello guys, my submission date is September 2022. I previously had my work permit and travel permit for two years. After they expired, I reapplied for both the work authorization and travel permit. It has now been about 17–18 months. I already received my work authorization renewal, but for the travel permit, the status had said “fingerprints were already taken” based on my previous biometrics.
Last month, however, I was requested to provide biometrics again for the Form I-131, and I completed them a couple of weeks ago. Do you guys think that’s a positive sign for case or ?
“We have taken action on my case”. 1y after interview
A year after my interview, during which I received verbal approval, I received an email from USCIS stating, “We have taken action on your case.” However, there are no new updates on the MY USCIS portal. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I checked the API, and it says:
* "ackedByAdjudicatorAndCms": true
* new event created on 2026-05-19
* event code "FTA1"
* "closed": false
* "actionRequired": false
Has anyone else experienced this? What should I expect? Another interview?
* PD October 2024
* Inteview I-130 and I-484 May 28/2025
* I-130 approved May 28/2025
* I-485 Verbal approval May 28/2025 (The consul said it would be approved in two to four weeks).
* On May 19, 2026, I received the email
