I called NVC and they said Morocco is now pivot. We submitted all our documents online, I think that’s why it went quickly. I hope you will get it soon!! It’s the last part really before the finish line 🙂 

 

The Consulate is closed Mon, Tues, & Wed for Eid. So maybe we won’t hear anything more until later.

I guess your wife didn't make enough last year.

How much money she did last year. I mean what her income tax we're last year? 

I'm wondering they only compare the last income tax return or transcript with the poverty guidelines 2018.

For the courant year gross income they only make a prevision of the income she'll have at the of the year.

If you were considered married during the tax year, you can't file as Single or as Head of Household as both of those filing statuses are for people who were considered unmarried for the tax year. (Source: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/determining-your-correct-filing-status)

 

If your spouse doesn't have a SSN/ITIN, then you would select Married Filing Separately as your filing status and you have to paper file your return. This is because electronic filing platforms won't allow you to leave the spouse SSN/ITIN blank, but a paper form will. I don't know if it's strictly necessary, but I also attached an explanatory statement to my return when I filed noting that my husband is not subject to US taxes and doesn't have a SSN or ITIN and the return was accepted with no issue. 

 

Hi thanks for info. I was told if i filed the irs would keep my return. I have dependents and was looking at a 3000 return. Is this true? Is it true if you file with itin they keep all your return? And why? Its my hard earned tax money.

does this happen to anyone else before as pivot case my lawyer she sent all the documents via mail after she submitted the application online then I call the nvc to confirm if they receive my aos and iv packages they ask me how sent them I said mail they said it will be returned I got really mad and said to her I knew she was going wrong finally after I said I need all my documents back she submitted them online yesterday would that cause case delays?

Were you able to start IV application ?

 

Anyone know how long after we pay both AOS and IV fee the IV application is accessible ?

I don't want to send AOS and IV package in advance before finishing IV application .

Mine just switched over to PAID, I can now start DS-260. What about yours?

Do you mean you were expecting a $3,000 refund on your return?  Just because you provide an ITIN would not be a reason for the IRS to “keep your refund”, but your filing status does impact what you owe or what you are due. 

 

I can’t know what the outcome would be for you under a different filing status because everyone’s situation is different. The reason you might have a higher refund due with one status could be because there are different tax brackets and rates applicable to different filing statuses. If you visit the IRS website, and specifically read through Publication 501 you can find out which statuses you might qualify for. If you’re unsure of what the implications are for your situation, I would consult with a tax expert. Good luck!
