US Immigration from Greece

Hello all

Ok so I filed my taxes today for 2022 and got a notification from my accountant in our email as well copies of our 1040 alongside our signed 8879 forms (alongside with a separate pdf that is basically the signature certificate). My N400 interview is next week so I am not sure if the IRS will have the return transcripts ready by then.

Do you think officers would accept the above documents as proof for filing or they only accept the official IRS transcripts?

Hi,

I need your valuable help again!

Jan 1 - Jan 31 of 2022 I worked in my country Greece and I had a small income. I will pay my taxes for Greece in Greece.

Feb 1 enter USA with K1 stopped any work no income till Dec 1 of 2022 and for this one month income I have w2 and will pay taxes in USA. No green card just work permit. I got the green card in January

So I worked one month Jan (greece) one month Dec (usa).

Do I have to complete the form 2055 for foreign taxes attached with the 1099 in my situation for Jan 2022 before I entered USA?

I read on the following thread no but not sure if is true..

It is automatically excluded because your start date for us tax purposes as a us taxpayer is the day you stepped foot on us soil. Any income earned prior is not a part of your taxable income for us purposes. You dont bring it on the form at all. You can voluntarily elect to be treated as a us taxpayer for the entire year at which time you become eligible to use the 2555

Ps: Will use turbotax deluxe for my taxes.

Hi all and Happy New Year,

So I just received an RFE for my AOS application.

Quote

Submit a copy of the marriage certificate between the K-1 applicant, XXXXXXXX, showing the date of the marriage within 90 days of the K-1 s arrival into the United States. The marriage certificate must be issued by the government agency authorized to issue the document. For immigration purposes, the marriage must have been registered with the government agency authorized to register marriages from the location where the marriage took place. The marriage certificate must have the seal of the issuing office, the date of registration, and signature of the registrar

I included to my package the copy of the marriage certificate (without seal) but I can't recall if I added a copy of the original certificate (yes I know I should have keep a record but for this I did not.

So I have two questions

1) They are giving me the option to upload the file online, can I go ahead and upload a picture of the original marriage certificate along with a letter explaining? do I need to mail that as well?

2) is there any way to need the long form? I have requested that for my country and still waiting

Thank you!

Hello there all!

So my window for Naturalization opens Dec 22 and I am reading through the instructions the tax returns for the past 3 years based on being married with a US citizen. So far we have filed taxes for 2020 & 2021.

Do you think I should wait first before applying to file the 3rd year also, or I can always apply and just wait for a RFE down the road?

Although my country allows for ESTA, I own a company outside of the US and I need to travel to the US for more than 3 months for business reasons.

Therefore, I had initially applied for a B1/B2 visa on March 2021 but that application was on hold due to the pandemic. Meanwhile, me and my boyfriend applied for K1 Visa in May 2021.

Now, in November 2021 the embassy contacted me regarding my B1/B2 visa and scheduled me an appointment for April 21st 2022.

In January I used my ESTA and visited my bf for 2 months (we travelled together)

On April 19th 2022, the embassy rescheduled my appointment for April 20th and I missed that email as I was travelling. I requested a reschedule and they booked me an appointment for 27th October 2022.

Now, our k1 visa was approved in June 2022 and the case is now ready. However, I DO NOT WISH to use this yet, as I need to make the business trip and come back to my country for few months before i proceed with the K1 visa.

The embassy has sent me p3 but I have deliberately not proceeded to fill in DS160 as I have another DS160 active for the B1/B2 visa.

My question is, how do I proceed with postponing the K1 process (I read up its possible to postpone for 3 months each time, for a total of 12 months)

Should I ask for them to postpone now?

Should I wait after my B1/B2 visa appointment to postpone the K1?

Or should I proceed with the DS160 and select the latest possible date i find for interview?

My NOA expires Oct 15th!
