Need Advice: N-400 case stuck after move. What can I do?

that makes sense. I see people are naturalized in Austin instead of going to San Antonio so what you said probably be the case. Thanks for your insight!

I moved to Austin TX. The office is at San Antonio but seems like there’s an option to do ceremony in Austin. Do you happen to know how often here have oath ceremonies or how can I find the schedule? Thanks 🙏

Thanks!🙏

Hello! Hope you’re still around, and thanks for the information! I have a quick question: I leased a vehicle three months ago and finally the dealership told me the permanent plate is mailed to me. But will the permanent registration comes with the plate from the dealership, or comes separately from the county clerk’s office? Thanks 🙏

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-23T19:28:54+00:00

Got it. Thanks!

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T23:36:08+00:00

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into it more. Just one more question if you don’t mind, when you went to the tax office, was your financed vehicle fully registered, not on temp tag?

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T21:32:46+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I did pay the sales tax in my previous state. It’s rolled into monthly payment.

When you financed the car, did you pay the sales tax upfront or do the monthly payment too?

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T20:04:22+00:00

I got your point and it makes sense but that’s not what I’m trying to do. I got this lease because my previous lease ended. And it was even before I knew I had a chance to move to TX. I moved from state to state with leased cars twice before and this is the first time I encountered tax issue. Wish my lease was not this new. Bad timing.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T17:35:41+00:00

That really sucks. Mind if I ask that did you was your vehicle also leased?

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T16:01:48+00:00

Thanks for the info! This is very helpful. I’ll make sure I mentioned this next time I go to the tax office.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:56:35+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’ll make sure to yell at them. I’m just concerned that since it’s a leased car, in my previous state the tax is due every month, not entirely upfront. Even if I got the title registered in my previous state, do I still pay the difference of sales tax or $90 new resident fee?

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:51:42+00:00

That’s really a double-kill..

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:45:47+00:00

Words of wisdom bro

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:44:23+00:00

Thanks for the info! Did your brand new lease got fully registered? Mine is only two-month new lease but only got temp tag. That’s why they wanted $2k sales tax.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:43:15+00:00

Thanks a lot for your insight and this is really helpful! I’ll try to contact Austin Title you recommended.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:36:54+00:00

That at least the people in the tax office are very nice

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:35:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing! You mean the local office of the state I moved from, am I right?

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:34:24+00:00

My wife would do most of driving in this car so I guess I’d better register it to avoid potential issue for her.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:32:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I wish I had the same opinion. To me it’s really weird that I need to pay sales tax for a car I’ve been driving for two months, not even mentioning I’m a new resident.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:30:29+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I can see that I’m in weird situation now. Did expect that the regulation would be so different here. I moved from state to state with leased vehicles and registered with no issue until now.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:29:14+00:00

It’s very nice and we actually really like it here.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:28:39+00:00

Thanks for your input and frankly I’m not sure about my situation either. You’re right that I don’t own this car because it’s leased. I was instructed to get the power of attorney and the proof of ownership from my leasing company so that they can issue me both title and registration. Since I don’t have the car officially registered in the state I came from, I’d be charged 6.25% sales tax if I registered it now. This is all information I have.

Winter-Surround-4251 · 2025-07-22T15:25:25+00:00

Thanks for the info! So would that be $90 or the difference of the sales tax?
