Worried tax issues may jeopardize my case, please help!!

Hello all!

 

My wife (applicant) just got DQ'd for our spousal visa and awaiting interview at the consulate in Casablanca, Morocco. I have several semi-related issues when it comes to my personal income taxes that I fear could cause us problems.

 

1) Our interview will almost certainly occur after the tax filing deadline in April 2023 to file for tax year 2022. I have an extension from the IRS until October to file, due to having to get a social security number for our newborn son, which I can't do until I go get his passport, which is with his mother in Morocco. If our interview is in say June or July 2023, would the officer at the interview request my tax return for 2022 when I haven't filed? What if I printed out the IRS page saying I have an extension, and gave them my most recent pay stubs up to that point?

 

2) I owe a little over 6k in back taxes from a few years ago (working on resolving this). I've heard that if you have delinquent taxes, they can revoke your passport obviously causing huge issues for immigration, but also heard that that doesn't really happen unless you owe like over 50k. Is this something the NVC/Consulate would be able to look at and make a stink about?

 

I make more than enough money to deal with all this Alhamdulilah, it's just that the timing of it all is sticky, and I want to make sure my bases are all covered.

 

I'm open to any and all advice and suggestions. Thank you!!

I would recommend talking to lawyer about this. This case is past any normal person can give advice for.

For what it's worth, made an inquiry to the NVC and got this response

Dear Sir/Madam:

 

This case is documentarily complete, which means the NVC has all the documents we requested. Your application is waiting for an interview appointment, where a consular officer will adjudicate it.

 

The U.S. Embassy or Consulate tells the National Visa Center (NVC) when they hold interviews, and we fill appointment dates as cases become qualified. However, NVC cannot predict when an interview will be scheduled as the pandemic continues to severely impact the number of visas U.S. Embassies and Consulates can process. When local conditions and restrictions allow, most have resumed immigrant visa services.

 

NVC will notify all case parties when your interview appointment is scheduled. Your case will stay at NVC until that time.

Important: Do not make travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the U.S. Embassy or Consulate issues a visa.
