My wife's family has their tourist visa interviews coming up, I had helped prepare their application but am questioning a choice I made on the (submitted) DS-160s ... while they are coming just to visit us, I selected "B1/B2" as when my wife applied herself to visit me under a B2, they issued her a B1/B2. Since then, I've always assumed this was the proper designation, but now I am not entirely sure. My wife's family is obviously not coming for business, but will this be a problem? Should I tell them to expect a question about it, or is this pretty normal given what's ultimately issued? There was only one analogous post on VJ, some users implied it was best to redo the DS-160 whereas others said it was completely fine. TIA. EDIT: I just reviewed their TravelDocs page and it says the interview is for a B-1/B-2, so I guess in this particular case, what I put on the DS-160 was correct. I don't recall if TravelDocs actually made a distinction between the B-1/B-2 and B-2 when scheduling the appointment. In any event, these DS-160s seem to be proper per what was already scheduled at the Embassy.

Hi everyone! So finally got an NVC welcome letter for my 15 year old adopted daughter who's coming with my wife. We all live outside the US right now. I have domicile in the US. I filed an I-864 for my wife, but since my daughter is adopted I'm trying to file I-864W for her. Everything is ok except for question 11. U.S. Social Security Number (Required).... What do I put down here? I don't think it's my SS they're looking for and my daughter does not have an SS # yet, since she's never been to the US before. This is very confusing. Can I put zeroes and add a comment in the additional section that she'll file for one once she enters the US? Need help, thanks!

Taxes During K-1 AOS - MFJ when USC is Student? |

Hi all! Have a question that seems a bit specific for my circumstances, so wanted to ask here. We're in the process of finalizing our tax return; I'm the USC, currently a student and have no income for the taxable year. My wife came to the US in June on a K-1 and is still waiting on EAD / GC, so she also has no income. As such, we have no tax liability. I see posts here saying you should almost always MFJ, but in our circumstance, that wouldn't have any effect. Nonetheless, I would think it would be a good idea to MFJ as for the N-400, you apparently need to show 3 years of tax returns. My intuition would be that it would, therefore, be good to start with having a return now, despite her technically not even needing to file. But I'm confused as to some of the subsequent questions if we do elect MFJ. For example, would she would be considered a 'dual status alien' for IRS purposes? She was here from mid June 2022, so she satisfied the substantial presence test after arrival; but what is this referring to, residence for taxation purposes or immigration purposes? If the latter, then no as we're still waiting on AOS. Moreover, as we're using a software, is there anything we should particularly look out for / be cautious of when filing these? As an example, are there certain questions on the tax form that could have negative immigration consequences (I'm imagining like on a driver's license application, how it asks if you're a citizen)? I'm terrible with these forms, so any guidance would be much appreciated. TIA.
