Enterline and Partners Featured Clients on Successfully Naturalizing as a U.S. Citizen

Enterline and Partners is pleased to feature its clients, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Schroeder on a successful case outcome.

In mid-2020 during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder were referred to our office regarding their desire to immigrate to the United States. Mr. Schroeder, an American expatriate, had been living in Vietnam for several years. While Mrs. Schroeder had a B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa enabling her to travel back and forth to the United States to visit family and friends, they decided it was time to immigrate to the United States for themselves and their daughter.

Our immigration attorneys filed a Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative with supplemental documentation with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). After USCIS approved the Form I-130 Petition, the case was sent to the National Visa Center (“NVC”) where our attorneys filed the necessary documents to continue the visas application processing. After the NVC documentarily qualified the case and sent the file to the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, Mrs. Schroeder completed her medical examination and attended her immigrant visa interview. Although she was a 221g Notice of Administrative Processing, our attorneys responded to the U.S. Consulate which resulted in Mrs. Schroeder being issued an IR-1 Immigrant Visa.

After living in the United States for more than two (2) years, our office contacted Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder to inform them that she may be eligible to file for naturalization to become a U.S. citizen and we would be happy to further represent her. After receiving their approval to assist, our office filed Mrs. Schroeder’s Form N-400, Application for Naturalization with USCIS. A few months later, Mrs. Schroeder was sworn in as a U.S. citizen at the USCIS Field Office in Baltimore, Maryland.

Our office would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to the Schroeder’s! It is our great pleasure to assist our client’s over many years to achieve their American dream.

Delinquent U.S. Taxpayers in Southeast Asia

While living in the Southeast Asian region, it’s easy to forget about U.S. tax obligations, especially if the taxpayer’s income is deemed “minimal.” Let’s first re-visit our tax filing requirements, where an excerpt is noted right on the last page of one’s U.S. Passport, “All U.S. Citizens working and residing abroad are required to file and report on their worldwide income. Consult IRS Publication 54 …” Tax practitioners may use the standard deduction as the filing threshold. For tax year 2024, single status filers can claim up to $14,600 as a standard deduction. Therefore, if one can maintain and produce supporting documentation that the tax year’s income is below the standard deduction threshold, the taxpayer may opt to not file a U.S. Income Tax Return. However, it’s good practice to still file a tax return to show the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that your income is below the standard deduction

Federal Court of Appeals Rules Against Trump’s EO Ending Birthright Citizenship

A Federal Court of Appeals handed the Trump Administration another blow in its fight to redefine the 14th Amendment ending birthright citizenship through Executive Order (“EO”). The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Administration’s request for an emergency order putting on hold a nationwide ban issued by Seattle-based Judge John Coughenour last month who found the EO blatantly unconstitutional. Judge Coughenour decision was swiftly followed by Judge Deborah Boardman’s decision in Maryland who also ruled that the EO needed to be stopped. While the Trump Administration argued that Judge Coughenour’s ruling went too far, a three-judge panel disagreed and scheduled the case for arguments in June. U.S. Circuit Judge Danielle Forrest, whom Trump appointed during his first term, said that a rapid decision would risk eroding public confidence in judges who must “reach their decisions apart from ideology or political preference.” The other judges on the panel,

U.S. Taxes for Americans Abroad

A common concern raised by our clients departing the United States to reside abroad is what do they need to do about U.S. taxes. Furthermore, there are several misconceptions and misunderstandings that permeate the American expatriate community about U.S. taxes; especially about filing thresholds and some exclusion amounts. Allow us to provide insights — answers to address these questions and clarify the misconceptions. U.S. taxes are the financial backbone of the U.S. economy. The tax system is essential to financing the activities of the federal, state and municipal governments including infrastructure, healthcare, education, military and consular services. Indeed, now a cliché, founding father Benjamin Franklin once said, “nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Another notable thing about U.S. taxes is that an excerpt is noted right on the last page of one’s U.S. Passport, “All U.S. Citizens working and residing abroad are required to file
