We just submitted the email yesterday about choice of agent to NVC, so we want all our paperwork prepared. I stupidly thought since my mother who is a USC living/working in the US was the joint sponsor, her tax info was the only one that mattered since I work/live abroad. I have everything needed from her but now it's just down to me. I also made a big mistake by filing Single as advised by an IRS agent 2 years back since my husband has never lived/worked in the US and does not have a SSN. Now I have to do the 1040x on all 3 years just to change the status ahhh! :crying: The worse thing about this is, the IRS agent gave me no advise on what to do from here, I only found out about the 1040x only by my investigation on VJ (thank God for VJ!) I'm having trouble getting any help when I call the IRS about my tax returns. I've ordered 2009, 2010 transcripts online but 2011 is not available yet. I would hate to call back again for anymore advice as it took 3 phone calls and a total of 2 hours ONLY to confirm the mailing address they had for my transcripts to be sent to which is here in Ireland.

I also asked if she could fax me my transcripts to save time and she said I needed a US fax number and I HAD to be present at the fax machine when she sent it! So I'm thinking this is going to add a good amount of time to our case... :(

My question is, will the NVC accept just 2009 and 2010 from me and 2011, 2010, 2009 from my mom or do they NEED 2011 from me as well? If it's not ready by the time I've sent all of the 1040x forms into the IRS, what do we do then? I can't believe I filed single, will they accept it without me having to amend my returns with just a letter explaining why I filed 'Single'?

Thanks in advance for any advice, it's greatly needed at this point! :D

They NEED the most recent one, which is that of 2011. 2010 and 2009 are optional.

Many petitioners actually file single, and just amend their tax returns once their spouse arrives in the US and gets his/her SSN.

Thank you for that. I'm not worried about the Single status anymore, just that I get the 2011 finished asap! Wish this was over and done with at this point! :wacko:

remember you can always submit the taxes themselves, although NVC prefers the tax return transcripts they DO accept the returns. You could always submit that and in the meantime let the IRS process the return and get your transcript. Maybe you won't get an RFE and can just bring the transcripts to teh interview...

Yeah, you can submit a copy of your tax returns, especially for 2011 since it's not out yet!

I'm sure people in your situation file single all the time, I wouldn't worry about it.
