US Immigration from Spain

Guys,

I've done some research here, but I cannot exactly find out what need. Here's a quick rundown...

1) The last two years I filed "married filing jointly", since we were in the middle of waiting for her CR-1 / IR-1 visa. This is for the 2020 and 2021 tax years.

2) Now we are at the current 2022 tax year. I have filed an extension, and now we finally have her social security number. She entered January 15, 2023, and she got here Social Security card in the middle of February 2023. So, she entered after the conclusion of the 2022 tax year (this is where I have some problems, please see the next paragraph)....

The CPA I am working with has never seen a case like this (he does a lot of executive / corporate work), and so he had to learn how to do the tax work properly while me and my wife waited on the immigration process. I did some research here on VisaJourney and got the info he needed, and the last two tax years (2020 and 2021) went well because of that in part. However, he is reluctant to use my wife's Social Security number on the current 2022 taxes due to when my wife got her card issued. He said something about the number "being in the system". He said that I needed to get a paper form the Social Security Administration stating when she was issued here Social Security number. I'm almost positive that's not necessary, but I know he's trying to protect himself. However, due to this, I need help to help him.

So my question is twofold:

First, since my wife did not receive her Social Security number until mid February of this year (2023), does anyone know where on the IRS website, or in their other literature, where it states the rules for this? I need something tangible to show my CPA. Not being able to use her Social Security number doesn't make any sense, since I've been read many people amended their tax returns once their spouses finally got their Social Security numbers, after finally entering in as permanent residents.

Second, since she is finally here and has her SSN, how do I go amending these last 2 years of tax returns (2020 and 2021), since I had to file "married filing separately" because she hadn't entered yet?

And again guys, I know there is a lot here. Please help out if you can. Thank you in advance!

Hi all, on a related note, my I-131 was last updated in on June 6, 2022 (screenshot below). Is there anything I can do to accelerate? Was going to travel to USA in late June.

Hi all!

Has anyone tried to renew their Spanish passport lately?

The earliest appointment I was able to get almost a month ago was for June 6th. I have a wedding in Spain in June 24th, and their turnaround for passports is 3 weeks.

I wanted to see if it's possible to just show up to the consulate in Los Angeles and see if they can process it earlier, but I wanted to ask if anyone has ever done that before, and if it's even worth it to go.

Thank you for your help!

I sent a letter to cancel my visa, as my fianc and I broke up. It ended up being a HUGE misunderstanding by her daughter. I just wanted to know has any of you sent another letter in to "un-cancel?" I don't want to go through the process all over again. So far nothing has been cancelled yet.

To all my I-90 renewal of green card filers (10 yr renewal). If you are doubting for any reason between N-400 or GC and see the greencard wait time is bigger than the N-400, don t let yourself be fooled by those estimated times. At this moment, I just felt like I wanted to do things simple and renew my GC so I filed March 20. March 22 I got a notification saying it has been approved and card has been sent. Today (March 26), I received my new greencard in the mail. Total time from filing to receiving the card 6 days. The USCiS website says 20 months. Just your reminder that each case is different so if you have nothing outstanding, 20 months won t necessarily be your wait time.
