I agree do not listen to anyone they are giving you bad advise. You said it was in high-school so I'm assuming you are under 18 at the time? 1. If you were a minor it's not going to be on any permanent record. 2. You are a US Citizen and the petitioner so it doesn't make a difference.

Do you people get off on being rude? What is your problem?

You are now contradicting yourself.. 

 

if they didnt need to file married in 2018 because they did not living together why would they need to file for 2019 they’re still not living together? There interview is still a few weeks away 2019 will be over by the time they move.. 🤷‍♀️

 

Id recommend you go gain some knowledge to go along with that education of yours, mfs or hoh if they qualify. 

 

Also, another of your comments... if you’re classified as legally seperated due to not living together how is it then classified as married for immigration purposes? 🙄 really need to go check your information before 

They were married during 2018 correct? There is an exception the first year of marriage if they have never lived together. The second year if married the entire year yes they need to file as married.

My wife filled single instead of married in 2018 And I Have interview in a few weeks. - am worried. I just saw it on the tax returns.  she said I needed my SSN and because am not yet in America.

 

Will this affect my interview.

It will not affect your interview most people who are not together yet file as single for 2018. You haven't lived together yet. For 2019 she needs to file as married filing jointly or separately. Good luck!! The embassy isn't worried about your filing status.

Well you have all that education and still don't know that you can't file as single when you're married?  This is why people come here for the information. You should know you don't get an SSN from filing the w7.  You get an ITIN. 

I was asking sarcastically but ok. Your right there are some states you would have to file as head of household if you have dependents. Yes if you have legally never lived together and still dont by the end of the year it is considered legally separated and you can file as single. I'm not going to argue with anyone.

*Married filing separately

But yes as said filing as single is NOT allowed when married regardless of if the spouse is in the US or not. Married is married no matter where your spouse lives and filing as single while married can be considered tax fraud

Its very easy to file married filing separately. Fill out tax return as normal, print it out, write “NRA” where spouse’s SSN usually goes, and mail it to the IRS

I have a Masters and Bachelors in accounting and do taxes for a living. Just a question if your spouse is not in the USA how will you get a ss number without filing a w7? 

If you are living apart in another country it is allowed to file as single not married. If you choose to file married world-wide income needs to be reported and you would need to file a w7 for a TIN.

Did you have an IOE number ?

Isn't the IOE number when you submit outside the USA?

Thank you very much! Finally someone who doesn’t tell me to go back to my war zone country and wait there “because others have done it too”, and tells me something good. My husband and I will be filling for the k3 soon hoping this will help. At least it’s a hope! Thank youuuuu!

Good luck

It's an option to try, but not something to rely upon. I also have not seen many, if any, people who recently filed the I-130 (not just those who filed sooner but just filed the I-129F recently) take unusually less time to approve than others.

I'd be careful about asserting any sort of 3 month timeline...while it it fine to offer an option that may result in a lesser timeline, it can set improper expectations and add to stress if it doesn't turn out correct.

???? I'm not guaranteeing or selling anything. I have talked to others and helped others with the K3 since June 2019 and all have gotten approved quickly.

I went through Nebraska it took 130 days. Just file a i129/k3 you will be approved faster than if you expedited. If you do the i130 first the i129f is free. 

Look at my timeline and Lis Xyooj both did k3. I can give you others also. The K3 can process your i130 within three months.

The "trick" of filing the I-129 (K3) to get your case moving is no longer working. It was something that a few people previously were successful on but has since died out.

It does currently work I have helped several people who have gotten approved within the last two months. What happens is k3 gets denied and i130 gets approved. Mine was approved on June 25th 2019. HAS NOT DIED THAT IS OLD INFORMATION!

Question regards I-130:

Hey everyone! 

Did anyone get their visa processed through the Nebraska center? If so, how long did it take you to get approved? 

I thought mine was being processed in Texas but I just found out it’s going to process through Nebraska which means instead of my visa taking around 6-7 months it will take min. 12.9 and max. 16.9 months to get approved. they started processing it 3 weeks ago. 

 

What are reasons to get expedited? I live in Germany (not an European citizen) and my German visa expires in September 2020. Only way to get my visa here extended is to get a work contract. And no place will give me a work contract for 3-5 months.. besides in Germany you have to quit everything (house, contracts, etc) 3 months prior... now I’m super worried because going back to my country is not an option as the interview will be here and the visa will be sent to Germany. Plus they closed the American embassy in my country😓

 

I’m freaking out 😭

I went through Nebraska it took 130 days. Just file a i129/k3 you will be approved faster than if you expedited. If you do the i130 first the i129f is free.

Hi guys 

 I had my interview on July 11 US EMBASSY TUNISIA CR1 VISA And I was under administrative processing since then. 2 days ago  the consular send an email to my husband asking to bring my passport 

“”We are pleased to inform you that administrative processing on your wife’s case is complete. To issue your wife’s  visa, please provide the following documents to US Embassy Tunis any work day (Monday-Friday) between 10:30-11:30 AM: 

 

-              Passport

We’ll need 2 business days for visa issuance after passports/ docs drop off.”””

in august 15th 2019 i will have my interview at u.s. embassy in tunisia and i am so stressed about the questions at interview 

does someone can help me about the question and interview and what do i need ??

Good luck I heard with the Tunisia embassy you need to make sure police record is less than 30 days. I know if you go to the us embassy in Tunisia website it will show you what documents are needed.

I have a question how did you know that 90 % get approved did they say how many people applied for the visa and how many people get it ? 

I know I read it on the Visa statistics page how many people interviewed versus how many people applied. I was worried at first too because it seemed liked not many people were getting approved. I even sent an email to the embassy asking them about the reasons for the denied visas. I was told by the embassy they recently denied a person because he had several petitions over the years with five different US women. Another denied because the petitioner did not make enough income for support. The main reason there aren't many k1 out of Tunisia is because its against the law there to have sex before marriage. I think most people would rather get married than wait!!

I feel less stressed after I read your comment 😊 I hope everything goes well . I mean being nervous is actually a part of the process 

You're right  actually 😂

You will be fine 

June 2019 Tunisia issued I believe 12 k1 visas and 20 spousal visas. You can look on visa statistics on the US government website. They don't have too many interviews because its a small country. 90% are approved so dont stress. We are waiting on an interview date so right behind you.

Once you get married you get kicked off parents insurance.
