Good morning! I am currently adjusting my status from k1. Sent AOS packet last February 2017 and after waiting for months I got an RFE from uscis asking for my wife’s ITR for 2016. The problem is she needs to make an amendment on her ITR because of an error, filed “married” instead of “single” (we got married 2017). Can I just send her ITR now and do her amendment later? Will there be a problem? Thank you

I dont know as I've never had to file an amended return. 

Can I just send the ITR now and get the amendment done later?

Once filed she can send a copy of that filing.  

Can I do it at H&R block/Turbo Tax? Or it’s better to do it with a CPA???

If I do the amendment, how long will I have to wait before I get the document back? Because I have a deadline to send the ITR January 2017.

You should at the very least consult with one as that sounds a bit wonky.  Did someone tell her to do that?

Not that I know of.

 She included me on her ITR as spouse

 

Bingo. You weren't a spouse before the end of 2016 and should not have been on the 2017 tax return at all.

USCIS is probably wondering how you filed with them that you got married in January but your wife essentially told the IRS you were married before the end of 2016 by putting you on her tax return as a spouse.

 

Hard to fix that without re-filing correctly with the IRS

She added me on her 2016 ITR as a dependent. Should we get an amendment with a cpa?

Clarify:. Earlier post said you arrived K1 Nov 2016, but above says married Jan 2016.  Did you mean marrie Jan 2017?  You would not be on a joint 2016 return if you married Jan 2017 and would not arrive on K1 in Nov 2016 if you were married Jan that year.

Sorry correction, I meant we got married January 2017

Send them again, and I guess, just to cover all bases, paper-clip a letter (they have your arrival documentation LOL but it's USCIS) stating your arrival date, marriage date, and that you were not eligible to work or earn income during the 2016 tax year.

IF:  You got married before 12/31 and you and your wife filed married/joint for the 2016 tax year they might be looking for your overseas income to be combined with hers on the joint return.  It's normally declared then reduced by $100K or so leaving you with no tax penalty but a properly filed return.  Without knowing your situation the guess is that they just lost it.

We got married January 2016. So I just need to send a copy of my wife’s ITR for 2016? She included me on her ITR as spouse but I didn’t have work when she filed it.

K1 beneficiaries don't have W2's and 1040's

 

Were copies of 2016 tax returns filed with the support affidavit or not?

Yes. We sent a copy of my wife’s ITR and W2

Hello everyone! I filed my adjustment of status for K1 and got an RFE and one of them says “Submit photocopies of your completed tax returns (Form 1040 and all W2s) for tax years 2016.” I just came to the US last November 7, 2016 and haven’t worked ever since I came here. What should I do. 

So it’s all good? I can send it to USCIS?

Good morning VJs! I got an RFE from USCIS when I filed my AOS in which they requested for me to submit Form I693 Medical Examination (It’s because nothing was marked on the summary of my DS3025) So I went to see a CS and have them transcribe my DS3025 on the I693 form and also got some vaccinations that I was missing.  On the results of my Part 9. Vaccination Record (page 12 of 13 of Form i693) this is the one that was marked: 

[X] Application may be eligible for blanket waivers as indicated above

[  ] Applicant will request an individual waiver based on religious or moral convictions 

[  ] Vaccination history complete for each vaccine, all requirements met

[  ] Applicant does not meet immunization requirements 

Did they mark the right one? Or should the CS also marked the “Vaccination history complete for each vaccine, all requirements met”??? I just want to make sure everything is okay before I send it and don’t want to get another RFE.

Then your DS-3025 is not valid to use for AOS. You will need to find a civil surgeon who is willing to mark it complete or indeed submit a I-693

Submit a new I 693?

Did you initially submit your (marked complete) DA-3025 with your AOS application? In some countries, like The Netherlands, you receive a little white envelope that tells you to submit with your I-485. Otherwise, make a copy of your DS-3025 if it’s marked complete and send that. 

 

 

 

I submitted my DS3025 with my AOS application but there was no check on either “complete” or “not complete”

It is a guess as to what you might possibly be missing. 

 

The answer to your question:  You do not need another medical unless they ask for one.  If it were our case, I'd go get another medical and send the documents in.

Gotcha! Thank you!

There's a new test for gonorrhea introduced August, 1, 2016 for all aos applicants. You might want to check if your medicals had that test or not.

Take a look maybe you find the info you need.

If you had all your vaccinations and your ds-3025 was marked U.S. vaccination requirements complete - then no.

Thank you for replying! What documents do I need to send. Just the DS 3025? Will they send me another RFE if they want a new medical exam?

I got an RFE for my AOS from K1 today and  it is asking me to send a “Form I693 Medical Examination” but I’ve been reading forums saying that I do not have to as long as I filed my I 485 within one year of an overseas medical examination and the panel physician did not find a class A medical condition during your overseas examination. I filed my I485 within one year of an overseas medical examination but I have confessed to the panel physician during my examination that I have tried marijuana but one time only and did not do it again ever since. So do I need to do a new medical exam then now that I am in the US? Please help
