请教8老师：收到绿卡后，我们曾经在中国住了两年（有I-327），但在5年前已经返回美国居住。在中国居住期间我们都按时file Federal and state Tax turns，其中state return（我们的地址所在的州）是以non-resident身份来报的。对于N400中 Part 12, 8. "Have you called yourself a "non-U.S. resident" on a Federal, state, or local tax return since you became a lawful permanent resident?" 这个问题我应该回答Yes还是No？如果必须回答Yes的话应如何解释？

-I don't know the state taxt law in your state. I am not sure whether you need to say "Yes" or "No". If you say "Yes", you may explain that you were in China during that period of time, so you thought you were not a resident in that state.

对N400申请是否有影响？

-Probably it will not affect your N-400. Just explain it to the IO during the interview if asked.

多谢！！!
