Không có gì quý hơn độc lập tự do."

Tôi biết nó, thằng nói câu nói đó

Tôi biết nó, đồng bào miền Bắc này biết nó

Việc nó làm, tội nó phạm ra sao

Nó đầu tiên đem râu nó bện vào

Hình xác lão Mao lông lá

Bàn tay Nga đầy băng tuyết giá

Cũng nhoài qua lục địa Trung Hoa

Không phải xoa đầu mà túm tóc nó từ xa

Nó đứng không yên, tất bật, điên đầu

Lúc rụi vào Tàu, lúc rúc vào Nga

Nó gọi Tàu Nga là cha anh nó Và tình nguyện làm con chó nhỏ

Xông xáo giữ nhà gác ngõ cho cha anh

a W-7 is useful if you have a foreign spouse, living overseas.

I just finished reading yer prior posts -

I can't, for the life of me, find where you MARRIED someone.

IMO, a W-7 won't apply to you, you not have a SPOUSE.

Good Luck !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Is there a benefit for filing this form w/ the IRS? I don't know anything about this one.

W7 is only for CR1, and IR1(SPOUSE), since you are K1 visa. Doesn't apply to you.

CR1? IR1?

How about a K2 child?

When I applied for Linh's SSN the office lady said her daughter (10YO) is not eligible for SSN and I have to file W7.

K2's aren't eligible for an SSN until they have either an EAD or a green card. The only reason K1's are allowed to get an SSN before getting EAD or green card is because some states used to require an SSN in order to issue a marriage license. That would be an obvious catch 22 - can't get married without an SSN, and can't get an SSN until after marriage and green card. :blush:

I'm no tax law expert, but my understanding is any dependent you claim, including a K2 child, must have lived with you for at least half of the calendar year. So, presuming they came to the US just before the second half of the year began, you'd have 6 months in the tax year, plus 4 months in the following year before the tax filing deadline, to get them a green card and an SSN.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!

The problem with the w-7 is that you CANNOT file eletronically. You have to file a paper copy. It clearly says chnces that getting a ITIN does not improve the chances in VISA application process. Although i feel come interveiw time the CO might consider that a good sign of evidence. I am going to file the w-7 i will be getting much more money back to help pay for my trip to HCM and Visa fees. SO it does have a few advantages but really slows down filing your tax return. I am going to submit the w-7 along with my AOS and past tax filings.

GOOD LUCK

If the child lives in Vietnam with the mother (The child is USC and has SSN), we couldn't claim the child as dependent child?
