I called and I said "please update me about my case." They responded that there is no visa available. I am going to call again on the 31st of December or in January. Hopefully, I will hear something from them then.

Try explaining to that you are waiting for the AOS fee bill, most of the time if you state "welcome letter" they do interpret as interview letter which they responded as no visa available at the moment.. please try calling again.

W-4 form note says to check "Single" if the spouse is an non resident alien (already in US). In our case, the spouse is not even in the US, so i guess we should keep W-4 as single.

Hi Enoo,

If I remember correctly, you can only file "married filing jointly" if your wife has her own SSN.

As the petitioner, what filing status do I use for my tax returns?

You have three options: married filing separately (MFS), married filing jointly (MFJ), or head of household (HOH).

For HOH, there's some criteria you need to meet to be able to use this. Please see the IRS website for more information. For most people though, it's either between MFS or MFJ.

Before I continue, I will say this once and only once: YOU CANNOT FILE SINGLE. If you are married, you are married. Doesn't matter where in the universe your spouse is, YOU ARE STILL MARRIED. You will be lying to the IRS if you file as single, and if caught, could cause serious issues. If you have already filed taxes, either this year or last, and were married, yet filed as single, amend your tax return ASAP. If at the time of the interview, there are tax return transcripts in the case file showing the petitioner filed as single, this can be a HUGE red flag. The CO will have to wonder why the petitioner filed as single when they're trying to get a spousal visa. In their eyes, your relationship can be seen as a fraud and could be reason for denial.

For both MFS and MFJ, the petitioner will have to file a paper tax return. Electronic submissions won't be possible the first year.

Filing MFS will probably be the easiest for most people as it doesn't require any extra documents from the foreign spouse, nor does it require their signature. On the tax return, where it asks for the spouse's SSN, you would put 'NRA' for Non-Resident Alien. Continue filling out the rest of the return as normal. That is all you have to do. (And if desired, once the spouse has immigrated to the US and has obtained a SSN, the petitioner can then amend their tax return to MFJ, to possibly get a bigger refund, but this isn't required.)

Filing MFJ will typically mean a bigger refund up front, with no need to amend. This route takes a little more work though as the beneficiary will have to fill out a W7 (available on the IRS site), which requires a signature, and include document(s), so they can obtain a ITIN (it's like a SSN, but for the sole purpose of filing taxes, and is available for those not currently living in the US). This would then be included with the tax return, and sent to a special address for ITIN generation. For most countries, it may be hard to get the needed documents. (For Canada, it was uber easy, and this is how my husband did his taxes while I was still in Canada, waiting for my interview). Please view the instructions for the W7 form on the IRS website to see what documents will be needed.

For more information, please read this page on IRS's website here

How will you know if its in NVC?

Im a bit confused, does this mean that with the new update is only appplicable to those who are currently in the USA?

My PD is Jan 2015 (F2A) and residing in the Philippines, does this mean I should submit an adjustment of status on Oct 1 2015?

Thank you for your help.

Hello

My Priority date is January 2015 under F2A.

I am just worried regarding our current situation, with the fast movement I assumed that the financial documents such as W2 and ITR will be needed.

My husband just came in the US as an LPR last Oct 2014 and had a job just this February 2015. His current salary plus our asset will meet the 125% poverty line ($19,912) however, his ITR and W2 will be released early next year.

Can you please provide tips on how are we going to handle such case or shall we find a co sponsor?

If we are going to look for a co sponsor does the salary of that person should be equivalent of 3 household size of $25,112?

Thank you for your help

January 20,2015 here
