I have a question . I’m a 2023dv lottery winner my case under administrative procecing but in last week I can’t check my case on ceac ? I get message ( invalide immigration case number ) does that mean my visa is denied ? Please answer me
Hello, Good question. Where we are based in Texas, there are no state income taxes, so our experience primarily centers on federal tax debts. However, the N-400 form asks about all taxes - federal, state, and local. Therefore, it seems safe to assume that the same logic would apply to any taxes owed, no matter their jurisdiction. If you do owe state or local taxes and have a payment plan, you may be able to demonstrate that you are adhering to the terms of that plan and still have your N-400 approved. Often different USCIS offices have different approaches to this issue, which leaves them vulnerable to lawsuits if your case is denied for owing taxes. Feel free to reach out if you would like additional information or assistance.
I’m trying to find information on when the husband who is the petitioner for his wife. The husband brought tax debt into the marriage is that a major problem?
Hi, Timothy, For the petition process, the husband’s tax debt should not be an issue. The issue arises when an individual who is a lawful permanent resident applies for citizenship. If the non-citizen applicant owes taxes, then USCIS can sometimes try to block the application.

I wish you had also included state taxes in the video. Is it the same thing? Is it different than federal taxes?
