Hi, using throwaway account...
My mom is a permanent resident who wants to file N-400 to be a citizen. But I think she may have some minor complication. I am an LPR too, but my older brother is a USC by birth in the US.
- She is married, and still stays touch with my father in our home country. no legal separation, divorce, nada. However, she has filed as a single for last few years because she didn't know how to claim my dad as a spouse or dependent without no ITIN or SSN. She says that she stated that she was married when she filed for her green card, so she can't say she is single, now and she has no intention to lie to immigration. Will her incorrect filing status cause trouble for naturalization? Sure, there is an option to amend it, but it would be very time consuming, and we don't have money to hire CPAs or knowledge to do it on our own from the scratch.
- She had one parking ticket that was eventually dismissed more than 5 years ago in a different state we used to live. How do we address this?
- Does she have to provide a proof of marriage if she has gotten her LPR through my older USC brother (IR5 category)?
Thank yuo!
