    Brazil/US2018 got a reaction from mogiftney in ****AOS GREENCARD INTERVIEW PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP****   
    Hello everyone!
     
    I am looking for people who has had their GC interview (k1/marriage based) here...
     
    On the part where it asks to bring everything that solidifies or proves your marriage...we are a very simple couple and only really have our bank account together, lease, health insurance, and pictures (SO MANY PICTURES)....we don't have credit cards together, no utilities (it is included in our lease) no car title together (his paperwork to get a license was delayed so he couldn't even drive until very recently!!!) no tax returns together. So my question is, is this going to be an issue? How was the process on this part for you all?
     
    MANY THANKS FOR ANY HELP! We are so nervous!

    In addition to the great tips others have given, I would caution you to make sure that the primary credit card holder (whether you, as the spouse, or someone else) has good credit and makes regular payments. Otherwise, your husband would just "inherit" a bad credit score from the primary account holder.

    I third that.
     
    If you can add your spouse to anything else like bills, rental leases - anything that gets reported to credit  bureaus about payments being done on time

    Seconding adding your spouse as an authorized user to any credit cards you have. In my experience adding my husband to my AMEX was the fastest at generating a good score in a short period of time. There might be some credit card companies out there who are willing to approve someone with no credit history, but the waiting period would be the same as you need to use it and pay it off over a period of time for the score to accumulate.

    Soon after she arrived in the US, I added my wife as an authorized user to my existing Citibank credit card.  I made sure this card reports authorized users to credit agencies. After about 4 months of use, her credit report appeared on Credit Karma.   She then started getting offers in the mail.

    It does matter.
     
    If you filed separately, it means your husband never filed a return in the US, therefore, there's no way for the IRS to pay for his rebate.
     
    If you had filed jointly, you would receive his rebate in your bank account too, since you didn't receive, 100% you filed separately.
     
    For 2020, make sure to file jointly, or if separately, that he also files his own 1040, so he can claim the money, otherwise he's never going to receive the money.

    He can claim everything when you file taxes for 2020 so nothing is lost 😊
    Depending on when you did the taxes for 2019 it might have been too late for the first one and they went with your 2018 taxes.

    We had our interview and were approved on the spot. 😁 The officer asked for copies of our drivers licenses, and I also gave him copies of health insurance cards, car insurance docs, and joint bank statements, credit card stuff showing my husband is an authorized user, and photos. He didn't want the letter from my mother or the tax transcripts that showed we filed jointly. Guess he was convinced enough lol.

    I'm in the same situation, my husband and I live at my mothers house. We have lots of things with her address on it, including our drivers licenses, and a signed letter from her that mentions we live with her and help pay bills. We figured that would be enough. Our interview is tomorrow so I guess we will find out lol.

    You don’t have credit cards or you don’t have credit cards together?   If the latter fix that.  Add each other as authorized users at minimum.  Joint accounts if possible.  
     
    Include a letter signed by both saying that utilities are included in lease and excerpt the lease.  
     
    Do you have Usps informed delivery? Provide images of mailed addressed to each / both of you with the same address.
     
    Does the beneficiary have state ID? Include a copy as it has the address of the residence of the couple.  
     
    Update your employment records showing beneficiary as emergency contact. 
     
    Update 401k, company life insurance showing beneficiary as the applicant for green card.  
     
    Show copies of health insurance cards with each spouse’s name.  
     
    pics from wedding ceremony and reception.  Receipts for reception 
     
    receipts for engagement and wedding rings.

    What about power of attorney for each other, wills, car insurance?
    What you have doesn't sound bad to be honest and I wouldn't be too worried.

    Your US passport is evidence of US citizenship.   Your Brazilian BC does not get it done.  However,  the request appears to be asking for both

    "if already submitted" means if you provided already they have it and don't need it.  If you want to bring updated financial information you can and have it available if the IO wants fresher info.

    Brazil/US2018 reacted to Chileanhere in No Stimulus check for Husband????   
    According to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, non-U.S. citizens with a Social Security number who live and work here, including green card holders and workers using visas such as H-1B and H-2A, are eligible to receive checks.
    “Non-resident aliens” who do not have green cards will not receive them.
    For what I understand from this info published in the internet, unfortunately your spouse would not receive the stimulus check because he is not a green card holder yet. Being a US citizen or being a green card holder are the only requirements stated (besides the income cap).

    Sooo..Got my stimulus check aaaand I only got one for myself and NOT my spouse amount?? We got married last year (may 2019). I am so confused. I did file my taxes for 2018 and 2019. Obviously I could not file married on the 2018 one, but I did on the 2019 taxes.
    Does anyone that is  smart with this stuff tell me why? Also, no, he does NOT have a green card as he came from a K1. We are waiting for his interview since COVID pushed it back, so Lord only knows when that will be now. But he is here as legally as he can possibly be. Its not my fault he doesn't have a GC and regardless we are married, so shouldn't i have gotten the full amount? He does have a social security number that he got in 2019.
     
    Maybe they are going off based on 2019 file?
     
    Help anyone?? Is there somewhere I can go to file for his check?
  22. Thanks

    It's possible they haven't processed the 2019 return filed last month yet (per your edit comment).
     
    There have not been any plans stated in either direction on how they will handle 2019 filings after they schedule or send the advance rebates.
     
    You can still claim the full amount on the 2020 tax return (to be field next year), and claim the difference between the advance rebate received and full credit you actually qualify for. So it's not lost...but you may not get it in advance.

    Brazil/US2018 reacted to Letspaintcookies in August 2019 - AOS Fillers!   
    It depends on how you filed taxes. They'll look at the 2019 taxes or at the 2018 taxes if you haven't filed 2019 yet. If you filed 2019 jointly that way you're an LPR for tax purposes and so the two of you would get it. If you filed separat or haven't filed yet and 2018 was probably filed as single than only the USC gets it.
     
    I'm extra upset with my former company now because they still haven't given me my foreign W2 and so we filed separate to get it done a couple of weeks ago.
