Hii...

Well, 1% of the VJ members know about W7 and ITIN for the foreign spouse...and this can't be a issue for u to put on AP for any reason and being in the VJ journey, I read so many posts specially of those who was interviewed in Dhaka and never had a problem with this TAX issue....

Trust me, 99.999999% people get out of this visa issue without facing problem of joint tax return. So, u shouldn't be thinking much about this...Try to concentrate on other issues to proof ur relationship in front of CO...

Good Luck...

I did the same as you and did not get put in AP. Our case was completed at the NVC in Jan 2009. Also, I called the IRS and learned that I have up to three yrs to file an amendment (with the W7 & an ITTN for my husband). This summer will be the time to do this for me. No worries---you'll be fine.

Administrative Process tends to be about name checking, not about IRS returns.

Many in your situation file as single since their spouse is not in the country yet, and file an amended return later.

Lastly your profile, and post says K-3, yet you posted this to the CR-1/IR-1 forum.

Moving this to NVC since your timeline indicates I-130 and I-129F were approved.

One last note, you may want to keep the I-130 moving through NVC, if you handle the NVC process properly, more than likely you can get the superior CR-1 IMMIGRANT visa, and save yourself from having to adjust status with it's added costs.

CR-1 is work authorized, K-3 is NOT.

OT- you dont even HAVE to file an amended return unless you want to, you can file as single since you are "considered unmarried" if you meet the qualifications, which 99% of us do.

I agree with the others here, it shouldnt pose a problem. You can always advise your spouse, in case they ask, that you filed single because you just didnt know that you could file as MFS.

dont freak

Hii...

Well, 1% of the VJ members know about W7 and ITIN for the foreign spouse...and this can't be a issue for u to put on AP for any reason and being in the VJ journey, I read so many posts specially of those who was interviewed in Dhaka and never had a problem with this TAX issue....

Trust me, 99.999999% people get out of this visa issue without facing problem of joint tax return. So, u shouldn't be thinking much about this...Try to concentrate on other issues to proof ur relationship in front of CO...

Good Luck...

Tax transcripts are obtained from the IRS... Tax transcripts are good for showing ur past tax schedules...If u gonna have Co Sponsor, u must need to submit all the papers needed for the regular single sponsorer...Like the recent year's(2008) Federal Tax Return along with W2 and Employment Certificate. It is the best practise to submit the IRS transcript for the previous year's Tax records...

Please for the Linche shortcut for the IRS transcripts.

Good Luck

Agreed, the tax transcripts with copies of the W-2 make the filing of the AOS package very easy.
