Hello to all my visajourney advisors,

Before the approval of my spouse’s I-130, I officially changed my last name (social security, and driver license) the DOS said that they were not able to change my last name since the case was not yet moved to them but the USCIS officially changed my last name on the case.

Now hat the case is at the NVC, they are saying that they can’t change my name without my current last name being on my visa (but they replied to me using the current[married] last name). My problem is that I have to file taxes and desire to visit my husband. The thought of me getting another passport and visa is just too much right now. 

Do so I have to get a new passport right now? Should I worry myself about my last name? 

I really desire direction in this matter. Responses and guidance would really be appreciated. Thanks for your responses in advance. 

Hello to all my visa journey experts,

I am fairly new to taxes and I don’t have much experience. My spouse and I got married in 2018, he is not from this country neither is he in the country. He also does not yet have a social security number. My question to you all is what would I file as (for tax purposes)?

Also, If I file as married do I need to get a tax identification number? If I file will it have to be by mail? And about how long will it take to process both my taxes and the identification number? I want to make sure I file on time and this is the only thing we are waiting for with our affidavit.
