DesiJase reacted to HRQX in Tax Returns for 2022
For 2021 tax year he doesn't meet the substantial presence test: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/substantial-presence-test (But if his I-485 is approved on or before Dec. 31 then he'll meet the Green Card test and thus be a US resident for the tax year)
If you want you can elect "to treat the nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident" when filing a joint return https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse

Not head of household.
It will be MFS or MFJ. Consult a tax accountant experienced in international income.

DesiJase reacted to Wuozopo in Tax Returns for 2022
There’s a whole lot to your question, but briefly I would suggest you file a joint return. He is eligible to file a regular joint return as a “US person” simply for being the spouse of an American. Doesn’t matter when he arrived. He needs a SSN and that has to be sorted within his first 76 days in the country for a K1 to get one. You probably didn’t do that so he will need to get an ITIN number for filing which is some extra legwork. Or he needs approved EAD to get a SSN and it doesn’t look like you filed your AOS/EAD yet so will be a wait to get an EAD card.
on a joint return his UK income is “reported” but he will be eligible to exclude it using IRS Form 2555 so he is not taxed on it because he already paid the UK tax on those earnings. You don’t ever pay tax twice on the same earnings even though the IRS wants you to tell them about the earnings.
Think of Head of Household as something for single moms. You are no longer single so are either Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately for 2021. Joint is going to save you money.

If you live together with your spouse, you are not eligible to file as Head of Household, even if you actually have dependent children or other relatives. You may only file as MFS or MFJ. As others have said, MFJ is an option for couples married within the tax year, regardless of how long the non-citizen spouse has been present in the US.

DesiJase reacted to Ayrton in Current Income Question.
Your current salary is your current income (unless you also have other sources of income). That's what should matter.
You can combine the biometrics fee with the application fee.

DesiJase reacted to Ed&Midori1031 in Current Income Question.
Just list current income.
And yes, combine biometrics fee with AOS fee.

List your current income on the affidavit of support form, but document that amount with an employer letter or six months of pay stubs since it is higher than is proven by the tax return.

He was able to book it a couple of weeks ago and so far it hasn't been canceled, he just kept checking the website.

DesiJase reacted to Kariz in Official Executive Order for Suspending Entry of Immigrants
No that is not what we are wondering. Anyone who has a valid visa can Enter the states. We are wondering about the people who are in the process, who’s visas have not yet been issued

DesiJase reacted to N400NYC in Immigration Suspension Executive Order - MEGA THREAD
And note the inconsistency between Trump's "position" :
- on the one hand, everything is under control and the economy should be reopened
- on the other hand, the "Invisible Enemy" is so scary & problematic that immigration needs to be shut down
Of course both can't be true.

DesiJase reacted to TVC in Immigration Suspension Executive Order - MEGA THREAD
Time to reopen our country because we don't have to be scared of this virus but we need to shut down all legal immigration because this virus is out of control.

DesiJase got a reaction from LeoUSA in Flights going back to normal
I know eventually they will lift the bans, we've waited this long to be together we can make it however long it takes. I'm more worried about ticket prices once they do open up travel bans and flights again.

DesiJase reacted to arae in FEBRUARY 2020 K-1 NOA2 to NVC to Embassy
We still might see ours in transit today. They ship throughout the day. Fingers crossed, right?? I'd feel better knowing mine is on its way to the embassy even if I can't schedule an interview rather than having it linger at NVC.
