You missed the biggest help with your finances and combining financial info when you did not file MFJ and filing out the W7 for the ITIN when filing tax returns your standard deduction would have doubled Have him do the W7 form while he is here/ get a POA filled out so you can do business for him For 2025, the standard deduction amount has been increased for all filers, and the amounts are as follows. Single or Married Filing Separately—$15,000. Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Surviving Spouse—$30,000. you can correct this by filing a 1040x to amend the tax return your spouse will need to fill out the W7 and you should get a POA from spouse to sign your new 1040x BTW this does take time in IRS hands but worth it with the ITIN and a POA for you to do banking and other documents by you, u can add her to bank account no debit card available till he is in the US but the double tax deduction is worth all this BTW if he has earnings in Brazil, fill out the 2555 to exclude the yearly allowed The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) allows qualifying U.S. taxpayers to exclude up to $130,000 of foreign-earned income from U.S. federal income tax (2025).Feb 5, 2025

The United States is a representative democracy. This means that our government is elected by citizens. Here, citizens vote for their government officials. These officials represent the citizens' ideas and concerns in government. the officer is more likely to ask what are the 3 branches and the duties of each 1. Judicial 2. Executive 3. Legislative

According to SS Adminstration this has not changed https://www.ssa.gov/ssnvisa/Handout_11_1.html

It's legal to sublease an apartment and very common to do so in large cities and that would not lead to a denial for moral behavior issue I suggest your friend add this site and tell the VJ community about the interview and exactly what the officer said as moral character issue would need to be addressed

You just arrived in the US and more than likely your info is not yet processed you will find out that in the US one government body does not easily talk to another (right hand does not wash the left hand) If you checked the right box on ds260 form USCIS Should be processing the SS # When going to SS office ask for supervisor if the clerk is not helpful / you do have rights in the US

you can show your capital gains on I 134 but the CO will ask for a joint sponsor that has US residency for AOS you will show proof of the US income but again the officer will ask for joint sponsor since the US income is short lived

why would you want to file for an extension? you still have time to file by the 15th Most who want an extension, owe taxes and that is costly with the interest and penalties added on from the 15th April till taxes are paid in full Many think this gives them extra time but it is costly (very costly) Plus If you owe tax and don't file on time (with extensions), there's also a penalty for not filing on time. The failure-to-file penalty is usually five percent of the tax owed for each month, or part of a month that your return is late, up to a maximum of 25%. If your return is over 60 days late, there's also a minimum penalty for late filing; it's the lesser of $510 (for tax returns required to be filed in 2025) or 100 percent of the tax owed.
