Question about Tax Filing

[nigel 7]

Someone posted recently they got denied for filing single. Their reason was because his wife was going to school. USCIS Immigration Officer did not want to hear it. Prevention is better than cure (an old Jamaican saying).

Yer Mon B&B the case your talking about was a member who was baddly advised by there accountant, it was fine to file as single, cas his wife was in college for 3 yrs

i know he was denied, but what happened the wks which followed ive no clue...but i guess the IRS wil know for sure....

Best bet is to get the tax year your missing as joint file sorted before the interveiw, then you be covered.

Thanks for sharing your experience. To answer your latter questions, yes I'll be meeting his kids this coming week actually. We're just taking things one day at a time; one step at a time, but we did have questions. For as long as it takes him to get out of debt im willing to wait. I love and care for him that much. Like you and Connie; he and I have that factor that we can discuss anything and what doesn't know, the other will..so it's a win-win for us right now as far as i can see it. I'll keep asking questions and doing my research.

Can only share my experiences on this subject, is there anything except a nasty divorce? And who in the hell came up with no-fault divorce laws, if one spouse blows the entire household income for whatever reason and there is only one can of beans left, that spouse gets half of that can. When I heard about child support payments, I am a guy by the way. fault really hard and won for full physical custody of our remaining two minor children. This meant proving in a court of law, my then loving wife was incompetent to properly take care of them. Even after all of that, she still was awarded half of everything, plus alimony payments. But I did get her attorney to agree to a one lump payoff. Took me five years to pay off all those debts, think I mentioned that other debt I incurred after the divorce, had to pay that off too, and was really quite bitter.

It was in the year 2,000 I finally paid the last bill, and in 2002 is when my youngest, an adult, left home. Ha, Love that movie, Home Alone, was quite by chance I met Connie on the internet where we slowly developed a dependence on each other. After ten months of this, I suggested we finally meet, but until then, wasn't the least bit interested in women. Also had thoughts about my marriage IQ, considered to be brilliant by my peers in my profession, but realized my marriage IQ was less than two. Connie was quite nervous about our first meeting, what if we don't like each other. Just said, if nothing else, found in you, a perfect friend, would really like you to be my friend. But didn't turn out that way, believed in soulmates for the first time in my life and asked her to marry me. Then the USCIS I never heard about and getting permission for her daughter to come here. Another battle, but we learned we could really talk these problems over and if I didn't have the solution to a problem, she did. We got married 13 long months later.

Really don't know if you want to rush into anything, that is up to you, but can you survive your intended getting out of debt? And what about his kids, did you meet them? These are questions only you can answer.

Wife owns two properties in Venezuela, we are trying to sell them, but if we did, can't take the money out, just about every loophole was closed by Chavez. Now he is doing a census to confiscate any vacant property, essentially, not buying that property, but stealing it.

She wants to put in our marriage, exactly what I put into it, she even objected when I put my home and vehicles in both our names, but said, if I didn't, you wouldn't be here. Her property she wants to share with me, she has her hands tied, and her property is worth even more than the value of what was my property or at least the same. Couldn't put my toaster in her name, no legal document on stuff like that. Would have put my property in our names even if I didn't have to, marriage is all about sharing.

But I tell her not to worry if Chavez does steal her property, always told her, I would take her completely naked, LOL, especially completely naked. Our lives together is far more important than material goods.

If you feel that strongly, could sell your property and start off a new life together. Connie was dead lost when she first came here, couldn't work nor do her part she felt obligated to do, but she did volunteer her time to charitable institutions while I was working. Became so popular, she got a good job instantly, quite a woman that wants to carry her own weight. have to say that dealing with the USCIS was at least, a very humiliating experience, but had to take a "nice pill" as I call it, just so we could stay together.
