Hi everyone,

I'm looking to file joint taxes for the first time with my spouse, who s a foreign national. I need to apply for an ITIN for her as she doesn t have a Social Security number yet. I wanted to ask the community for advice on a few points I m not entirely clear about:

1. Applying for an ITIN: Has anyone here recently gone through the process of filing jointly while applying for an ITIN for their spouse? I m curious about the specific forms you needed and any documents that helped streamline things.
2. Certified Passport in Spanish: Since my spouse s passport is in Spanish, will the IRS accept a certified copy in its original language? Or do I need to have it translated as part of the ITIN application?

Any advice or tips from people who ve been through this process recently would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!

Welcome and Congratulations on your approval!

This thread was created for those who are waiting for their NOA2 K-1 case assignment from NVC and then tracking your case onwards to your Embassy.

Your case will be forwarded from USCIS to NVC shortly (cases have been taking 30-45 days to reach NVC. Please be patient). Once your case has arrived at NVC , you will be assigned a new case number (your old USCIS case number will not give you any NVC updates).

A few helpful NVC links:

NVCResearch@state.gov

NVC phone number is (603)334-0888

I am including this in hopes that they will reinstate the number in the future :

They are currently NOT answering queries over the phone!! They are primarily answering all queries solely via their public contact page

NVC PUBLIC INQUIRY FORM:

If you need to submit an inquiry, change an address , request your new NVC case number or need to update your info in anyway NVC has a public inquiry form where you can submit your request as well as many other requests:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html

Once you ve received your NVC case number you can track your case online using the following link, until it is sent to your embassy:

Also, inside the attached PDF below are a few tips, tricks and hacks to help you along the way.

These are items that everyone asks for, so they have been very helpfully put together by senior VJMember Greenbaum for you to refer to when necessary. If you are new to this thread, please read these first as these are the most asked questions.

Please note, it was brought to my attention that some of the information may be outdated, but most of the helpful tips and tricks are still accurate. Regarding your packet 3, there isn t anyone within VJ currently providing that information for each embassy so that part of the PDF may be disregarded.

NVC sends petitions to the embassy every two weeks on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I noticed a 2024 shipping calendar being shared so I have included it below.

You can use that calendar to track when the next shipment date will be.

This thread is for those filing I-130 petitions in November 2024.

Let s use this space to share updates, timelines, and any progress we make.

My sister in law has her green card and has already filed for her US Citizenship, Can she applied to bring her son, get the process started then upgrade her status when she becomes a US citizen?

What's the process to bring a 7year old child from overseas for someone with a green card?

Thank you
