I would suggest contacting the IRS directly. I did and explained the situation. I spoke with about 4 people and the final person was the one with specialization in international taxes. She indicated that I don't need an ITIN for my husband, but should write the letters, "NRA" where it requests his SSN, to indicate that he is a non-resident alien. That's what I'm going with, because the ITIN will take longer than I have.

Thanks for sharing your experience, i will give them a call first thing on Monday.

However, what did you mean by saying "That's what I'm going with, because the ITIN will take longer than I have"?

My wife got her ITIN for TY2010, we've been using it ever since.

So yes, for TY2012, we're filing (again) as married filing jointly, using her ITIN and my SSN.

Darnell, do you know what documents i should have for my spouse and child in order to be able

to submit ITIN for both of them ?

There were some changes in how IRS is handling ITIN Updated ITIN Procedure Changes Announced.

It is so confusing to understand

Please help !

Thank you for replies.

One more complementary question.

How are you planning to file your taxes for 2012?

Are you already got an ITIN number for your spouse to include in your filing as married?

Hi everyone,

I am really interested to know about the tax information that 2013 NVC filers should include in AOS (I-864) packet.

Should we include tax returns for the last 3 years? (2010,2011,2012)

Basically, should i wait for my 2012 tax return to be processed ?

in order to be able to include Tax transcript from IRS for 2012 ?

Ya, about 7 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. But who's counting? Oh wait...that would be me.

USCIS won't look into it until their processing times are past my processing date. They are currently processing May 28, 2012, and my PD is June 7, 2012. So, I'll have to wait a little longer. I'm just hoping that they'll update to a date past June 7th, otherwise I may have to wait another month before they are willing to submit a service request. I just hope they approve me before the update. Whatever, though. I don't want to turn this into a discussion about Vermont I-130 processing times. We have enough of it in the rest of the forum!

Can't wait to submit my paperwork to NVC, though! I'm ready to go (minus 2012 taxes since I have to wait until the end of Feb to take advantage of Registered tax breaks).

Just waiting on NOA2!

Hi,

Could you please explain the following in details ? - (minus 2012 taxes since I have to wait until the end of Feb to take advantage of Registered tax breaks).

As we are all in a process of getting the taxes ready, this info might be helpful to all

Hi everyone,

I am also joining you in this thread.

Hope we can get a quick processing without any RFE requests.

Saylin, special thank to you and all active members that are trying to help !

question: is there any IR1/CR1 timeline specific to my country(Azerbaijan) or processing times for US Tbilisi consulate?

Congrats !

That is really fast one

I may just guess that your name is unique and you have been married for more than a year.

Does it took less time to make background check as well as you filed from abroad !

Congrats again!

Your wife

Thank you for reply!

Would you please tell me, where that information is written?

That is an amazing news !

Congrats!

For how long have you been married ?

Hi everyone,

sorry for newbie question in the form, but i am really confused.

I have petitioned for my oversea wife and child, after naturalization.

Now, i am required to sent DS-3202 signed by them as their representative here in USA.

Who should sign the DS 3202 form for my two year old child?

I would advice to ready the CR-1/IR-1 guidelines and preparing your set of documents for AOS.

Congrats !

Please, also update your timeline. thanks !

Congrats !

As Saylin explained those are two separate trackes (bills) and each form follow there another, If you rec'd the AOS bill you can go ahead and pay the 88.00 fee if you have already send/email the DS3032 (choice of agent) you have nothing further to do at this point. Other then pay the fee and prepare the packet (AOS I-864, Tax transcript, employment letter, pay stubs (optional).

Once AOS show PAID give it a few days and you will receive the IV fee bill.

As mentioned, follow Saylin's recommendation.

You will be fine, no worries

Thank you for reply how about my baby,do i need to re send the I-130 form?! And somebody told me that it takes a months..

If you have a child before your spouse become a USC then there should be another petition i-130 for the child.

I would advice to file it immediately, and mention that spouse has a pending i-130.

Short Answer is NO.

Applying to CR-1 visa means that intent of beneficiary is to live (become permanent resident) in US.

However, applying for visitor visa, while having a pending case with CR-1, would contradict your intention of petitioning in CR-1.

Thus, applying for Visitor visa while having an immigration petition will simply not work.

That really sucks! Waiting 6 months to get a RFE. Ridiculous.

Agree, it is really sucks !

There have been cases where persons send in additional proof when they are sending in the DS-230 with the required documents to NVC. I suggest that you gather other evidence to send at that point.

Thank you for suggestion. Very good one.

However, do you remember details on the result. Did that helped to the petitioner to be accepted?

Good Luck, my prayers with you !

I created an account in uscis and turned on email and text notification. So I got a email and text message at the same time. Then I checked my case status and confirmed.

Do i still need to create an account in USCIS, if i already filed Form G-1145, E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance ?

ps: my NOA1 for each petition were received by text, email and later in mail.

If your current job makes $19.000 or more you are good.

In addition, your recent 3 year tax returns should also reflect that number.

This is strange, i have also send three i-130 petitions in one envelope, separated by plastic transparent packets each.

I had a cover letter explaining each petition, and i get three different NOA1's and hard-copy mails after that.

I would advice first update SSN with your original naturalization certificate in local office.

Then apply for US passport, where original naturalization certificate will be filed with application.

Of course, they will mail it(naturalization certificate) back to you once your passport is issued

Got approved 5 minutes ago!!!!! I'm super super super happy!!!!!!! Thank you everyone for the support.

Congrats !

Were you a USC when you filed your i-130 ?

How would I know if I have complete case in NVC? Will they email me or I should call them for updates?

Hoping to hear from my VJers! Thanks!

Call them every week. That is what generally advised.
