US Immigration from Spain

Hi everyone, I'm a June 2022 filer waiting for NOA2 (387 days for now)

I'm getting worried bcs many cases around mine have been approved or RFE meanwhile my case stills untouched...

I'm worried if this means they have lost my file or they have picked up my case to be left behind

Idk what to think about it

Have any of you been in the same situation? Did you get approved? Ty

Hello everyone
I arrived in the US on a K1 visa on 5/15 and married my fianc on 6/23 we are organizing all the AOS paperwork to send it in the next few weeks.

My fianc was just offered a promotion at a new company and would start in 1 month from now if he accepts (at both his current and new job he would earn above +125% of the poverty line).

- Do you guys think it can be a problem that it is a new job?

- Is it better to send the i-864 with the information about his new job or send the i-864 with his current job?

- What kind of evidence can we include? We can get a letter of employment but we would have at most 1 paystub from his new job, we also have the tax transcript for the last 3 years.

Thank you very much.

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!
