  1. To my knowledge, people who submit a proper I-485 are still granted "authorized stay" until the I-485 has been adjudicated.
  2. Didn't the Ukraine PM recently buy some big property in Turkey?
  3. ***Comment split out from old thread***
  4. We have had a CPA/Tax Pro doing all our tax filings since wife arrived in 2017.
  5. Yep. This will evolve to "If you are in the US illegally....." I can't imagine the pressure of those who either enter illegally or overstay their visas. Trump and Homan are turning up the heat.
  6. One option is for US spouse to file as Married Filing Separately....then amend taxes to a joint return after you get a SSN.
  7. If you have a SSN, you can file a joint return and ask to be treated as a resident for tax purposes.
  8. Trump isn't playing around. The Colombian President just volunteered to be the example Trump needed.
  9. ***Related topics merged***
  10. ***Duplicate thread removed***
  11. ***Duplicate thread removed. Please don't post additional duplicate topics in other forums***
  12. Who would allow an unlimited number of complete strangers to just enter your home unannounced without permission, to set up housekeeping, and to expect you to pay for their food, lodging, health care, clothes, etc.? The homeowner is then in competition with the intruder for use of the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. It just doesn't make sense to allow illegals to stay, imho. Do they not compete with citizens and legal residents for jobs, groceries, emergency rooms, etc? Looks like the question "when is enough....enough ?" has been answered by the 2024 election. Common sense has returned.
  13. In what country do you live?
  14. How much time have you spent together (actually)? Yes, that will be important to the final outcome.
  15. Stop listening to that source. There is no requirement for that.
  16. Do you have bank accounts and/or assets outside the US? If so, you possible need to file an FBAR with the Department of the Treasury. Then, filing jointly certainly makes sense.
  17. 2 duplicate threads removed. Please do not repeat questions or threads in different forums.
  18. You can, yes....but should you? Even if you didn't have a Green Card, you could choose to be treated as a tax resident for the full year.
  19. There are many variables which determine if: 1. If You could file as a non-resident and a resident (dual status alien) 2. If You SHOULD file as a dual status resident. Variables include: Do you pass the substantial presence test? how much income the new resident earned prior to coming to the US, foreign income exclusions, tax agreements between the US and new immigrant's home country, FBAR, etc. Having said all that I always advise new immigrants to seek the help of a good tax pro the 1st year in the US.
  20. You should go ahead and change your address via an AR-11. You can do it online. Sponsors/petitioners must also report change of address via an I-865 by mail only. I have not seen a single case of a person having issues due to failure to report change in address....But I would do it immediately.
  21. White House press sec said on X: ".....If you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences." Notice, she didn't say "and commit crimes"....
  22. I have read that is the very reason a person holding a C1/D can not stay and adjust status. You need an attorney.
  23. Agree. Now is not the time to stay inside the US while "out of status".
  24. Generally, I don't think he can adjust status from that visa. You need a good attorney.
