He (or spouse) needs to find out if the business is obligated to carry short term disability insurance/he would be covered for that this is a requirement in many states to operate a business it usually covers for 6 months depending on whether its SSI (no waiting period to apply) or SSDI (5 month waiting period) and other requirements a E2 visa holder could get ss money the big if is From social security site https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-11051.pdf • You were lawfully admitted for permanent residence and you have a total of 40 credits of work in the United States. (Your spouse’s or parent’s work also may count). and this NOTE: If you entered the United States on or after Aug. 22, 1996, then you may not be eligible for SSI for the first 5 years as a lawfully admitted permanent resident, even if you have 40 credits of earnings. Seven-year limit for some noncitizens Some noncitizens can get SSI for up to 7 years. If your SSI payments are limited to 7 years because of your particular noncitizen status, we’ll send a letter to you telling you when your 7-year period ends. We’ll send another letter explaining your rights to appeal before we stop your payments. If you’re a current or former SSI recipient subject to SSI eligibility under the 7-year time limit, and you’ve applied for citizenship, we encourage you to contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to find out how to: • Expedite processing of your pending naturalization (N-400) or adjustment of status (I-485) application.

MFM takes a W7 form to apply for ITIN (taxpayer ID Number ) when the spouse is not a US resident give the USC this internet IRS webpage that will explain the process https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse it is well worth filing married as the standard deduction for an example for 2023 means she is due a larger return /or doesn't pay taxes on $13850. The standard deduction for 2023 is: $13,850 for single or married filing separately $27,700 for married couples filing jointly or qualifying surviving spouse $20,800 for head of household Also your foreign income is excluded with form 2555 to the amount as follows For tax year 2023, the maximum foreign earned income exclusion is the lesser of the foreign income earned or $120,000 per qualifying person. if married in year 2023 if married in 2022, IRS posts the amounts of both standard deductions and exclusion for foreign income. I married in 2010 and filed joint for all the years after

Filing for DV lottery is already closed DV-2026 Program: The online registration period for the DV-2026 Program begins on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at 12:00 noon, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) (GMT-4) and concludes on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 12:00 noon, Eastern Standard Time (EST) (GMT-5 this is so important . If you do not want to be separated from fiancee, what will happen when u are homesick and miss those u love back in switzerlad and u can not travel to visit there until AP is approved?? too many that come to US get real homesick especially when u can't work and are stuck at home for the extended time of waiting for the AOS process here. CR1 allows u to travel back immediately after POE.. U have the advantage of being in an beautiful country and trust me , u r going to miss the mountains, the great train service, along with family and friends. and Switzerland has very few citizens who are trying to immigrate to the US so your wait time for an interview after a petition arrives at the NVC stage will be a lot shorter than most visa petitions . Checking the last reported approved visa for October, Liechtenstein had none for both K1 and CR1 showing the queue is very short as there were no petitions on hold at NVC

USCIS is accepting Utah zoom marriage with proof u r together after the marriage YOU apply online for the spouse visa so documents are digital at this point taking the original to the interview/ make sure the digital matches the one u receive by mail. not sure why u r worried about Turkey marriage reguarding translation of documents as all our documents for USC to marry there would need to be translated into Turkish and if Utah zoom all the Turkish documents need to have English translations to accompany the Turkey documents for immigration either way its means translations are needed to have the affidavit of eligibility to marry from US embasssy after getting it translated , u follow the guides The documents notarized at the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul need to be taken to the Istanbul Governor’s office for apostille certification. Apostille certification is obtainable in Istanbul at: Istanbul Valiliği, Hukuk İşleri Şube Müdürlüğü. Web-site: http://istanbul.gov.tr/hukuk-isleri-sube-mudurlugu

you send copy of the 1040x with the schedule C that is needed for self employment/ pay pail invoices would be needed if not using accountant for the 1040x but not needed for immigration / they just need copy of the schedule C with 1040x if u didn't do a schedule C, it will be a long time before IRS responds you can't send what u don't have

self employment should have 1099(s) from places (or people ) you worked for and show schedule C To file your annual income tax return, you will need to use Schedule C (Form 1040), Profit or Loss from Business (Sole Proprietorship), to report any income or loss from a business you operated or profession you practiced as a sole proprietor, or gig work performed.Nov 13, 2024 You must report all income to the IRS. You may receive a 1099-K, 1099-NEC, or 1099-MISC reporting your income, but many self-employed people don't - it depends on how you make your money. Regardless, you're responsible for recording your income and expenses so that you can accurately report them on your return.

Travel after interview
JeanneAdil replied to Hirayam's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
interview is scheduled by embassy and NVC so almost impossible to estimate a date for this If u create a VJ timeline on your profile , VJ members with experience at that embassy may help with estimating interview date Even if u are out of country for honeymoon, the notice will come by a good email ID and you'll have time to return and prepare. Good idea to take needed documents with u for the interview that your spouse will need proof of US residence like copy of DL with photo ID and state address the I 864 IRS statements submitted to NVC and any other documents listed for the USC needed for the interview taking these saves mailing them and wasting time -
Passport given back during interview

Passport given back during interview
JeanneAdil replied to PerditaD's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
since this is "a friend" we do not know if visa was revoked or just expired after returning home poster said "He was on a work visa in the U. S. a while back and after coming back to his home country, he quit that job so his visa was revoked for that reason" So, was he called to embassy to stamp visa revoked? as USCIS says Generally, USCIS will not automatically revoke a work visa simply because a non-immigrant worker returns to their home country after their authorized stay expires; however, if there is evidence of visa misuse, fraud, or other violations during their time in the US, USCIS could take action to revoke the visa, potentially preventing future re-entry. the "friend" would know if the visa was actually revoked and that person is not posting . So we don't have all info but what i said is still true he waits to see embassy decision petition can be sent back to US or he can be called back to explain in another interview and then decision made Medical they should have kept but other documents , our embassy never looked at them / they just note when a person brings them in or doesn't / you can have documents and CO doen't want to see them and then asks for a person to send them to embassy later. -
Passport given back during interview
JeanneAdil replied to PerditaD's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Your friend will need to wait out the AP process there is no way to speed the AP but 1 thing that the embassy can do it require a new interview ( and medical if over 6 months) And they can also ask for passport to be sent to embassy if they have decided to approve hope the case is not returned to US with a NOIR or NOID If returned the USC has to answer all the objections the CO had with actual proof of the validity of the relationship from the USC the CO will not mention the age difference but that is the main reason a CO is concerned. -
Shengen Visa for Filipina holding a 10-year U.S. Green card.
JeanneAdil replied to allanr's topic in Tourist Visas
we flew country to country (flying first to Paris with return trip from Paris) considered domestic flights with no customs and immigration / flights to switzerland , Spain and Italy we drove to Belgium and into geermany / no police checkpoints but with a visa to any of the Schengen countries, you wouldn't have to worry if there were checkpoints if u have a valid visa A Type D long-stay visa issued in France or by another Schengen country allows you to travel in the Schengen area for a maximum period of 90 days in any 180-day period during your visa's validity period subject to presenting supporting documents as to the purpose of your visit and your means of subsistence.
