Why would your husband need a biometrics appointment? Something is not adding up.  Did he come to the US via a spousal visa or a tourist visa?  Just trying to get an accurate picture of what the situation is.

Because my son had to go through Biometrics appointment, they then send him his Green Card in the mail. I was pretty sure my husband needed to wait for a biometrics appointment too? I'm so confused. :(

I hope you took the foreign tax credit.

I'm pretty sure I didn't as I don't know what it means. Is there any way to get it back or amend something?

Yes, you can file amended taxes.  If you used Turbotax it is easy. If you didn't it could be tricky.

Simple question which you have yet to answer:  By what visa did your husband and son enter the US?  Did your husband enter on a tourist visa or a spousal visa?

Ahh you say K1 so that confused people, does he need to remove conditions?
