US Immigration from Morocco

Are there any Certified Acceptance Agents or Acceptance agents in Morocco that will submit form W7 for my husband to get an ITIN? If not, to which agency should my husband go to get a certified copy of his passport? This is for tax purposes and not USCIS purposes. The IRS requires the original passport or a certified copy from the issuing agency as proof when applying for an ITIN.

This is from the IRS website:

What is the difference between a "certified" and a "notarized" document?
A certified document is one that the original issuing agency provides and certifies as an exact copy of the original document and contains an official stamped seal from the Agency. These documents will be accepted. A notarized document is one that the taxpayer provides to a public notary who bears witness to the signing of the official document and affixes a seal assuring that the document is legitimate. These documents will not be accepted for ITIN applications. Note there are some applicants who are exempt from this change.

Thank you in advance!

I was expecting it to happen but this morning the news media (think i was on CNN at the time) interviewed a woman who was very upset as CEAC said refused

and CNN didn't ask immigration what this meant , they just made a big deal of it because the lady had traveled to her home embassy for the interview

she didn't speak English but clearly anyone could see how upset she was to think she and her child would not be joining her husband in the USA

CEAC needs to go back to using the AP as so many mistake the REFUSED as just that

I did not see a topic for 2021 filers, so I created one.

I applied for my mother yesterday - Please share your experience if you filed for a parent(s) in 2021.

Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone,

Looking for ways to show proof of bona fide marriage for i-130 petition, and thinking of frontloading petition, I am considering including my joint tax return with the i130 petition even though it is not required until the NVC stage. Is this a good idea? Would the actual tax return that I will submit suffice or I have to have some kind of receipt from the IRS? Because we are recently married and not living in the same country it's hard to show commingling any other way.

Has anyone noticed the form i130 itself will expire soon? The current form will expire on February 28, 2021. It says on the website that they will soon come out with a new i130 form but if we file the CR1 application with this current form, and and a new i130 comes out, will we get in trouble??
