Hi,
My wife abandoned her Green Card by mailing I-407 in Oct 2019 to USCIS. It was delivered to USCIS in Oct 2019 as per USPS certified email.
She got an email from USCIS only in Jan 2020 about completion of processing of her I-407.
Question:
She was a Long Term Resident and has to file Form 8854. Should that be filed for year 2019 (the actual year of filing I-407) or the year 2020 (the year USCIS mentioned as Received date)? Can someone clarify?
I am assuming the year is 2019 since 8854 instructions says the following:
Date of termination of long-term residency.
If you were a U.S. long-term resident (LTR), you terminated your lawful permanent residency on the earliest of the following dates.
The date you voluntarily abandoned your lawful permanent resident status by filing Department of Homeland Security Form I-407 with a U.S. consular or immigration officer.
Thanks for your help.
Sri
