Start by getting added as an authorized user on one your spouse's credit card.

Ive done that before i had a SSN, problem is she has student loans on her credit file, would that affect my credit score as id be linked with her?

As title states, isit possible to use websites such as selflend / moneylion and secured credit cards whilst i'm waiting for my AOS marriage interview? Get the ball rolling on building up a credit file and not waste time on it?

To note; ive received my SSN & EAD.

FYI - the "Get My Payment" tool is available on the IRS website, for those who do not have a bank account on file.

Have some patience as it just came out hours ago and is swamped. It did go through for us but took a while.

See on the IRS site with the "get payments" part, you can enter your ITIN number, what's that about?

Was it mailed to you or you checked status online? Can you check status of ssn online?

Mailed to me but the SSN + EAD is a combo thing so they send out both (if you checked that box) one comes a few days after.

If an ITIN was used on the 1040, they will not eligible for the advance rebate. She (and you) can still be eligible for the underlying tax credit on the 2020 tax return. So you'll get the full amount, just not early.

https://home.kpmg/xx/en/home/insights/2020/03/flash-alert-2020-127.html

"The CARES Act denies the rebate to an eligible individual with a Social Security number if the individual filed a joint return with a spouse who has an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or filed a return with a qualifying child who has an ITIN"

 

I'm not sure what an SSN resident is.

You are not a non-filer. You filed jointly.

Ha oh damn, looks like i filled at the wrong time as i was catching up on her 2018 & 2019 taxes and we applied for an ITIN when i didnt know my SSN was on the way.

So we cant use this in 2021 when we do our 2020 taxes? 

Is my wife still eligible for the payment? There's a website now from the IRS  https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments

Newly SSN residents are illegible even if i use the non filers bit?

So i just recently received my SSN + EAD Card and me and wife have filled a joint tax return where at the same time i applied for an ITIN number, for tax purposes i guess i'm classified as a resident Alien, am i eligible for the $2400 (filled jointly married couples) stimulus cheque or just my wife for $1200?

My SSN + EAD was approved on Friday

My Timeline is as follows

New Orleans office.

8th October 2019 : Sent AOS Package

5th November 2019: Biometrics

13th December 2019: RFE Joint Sponsor

15th February 2020: New Joint Sponsor RFE replied

27th February 2020:  Interview ready to be scheduled

April 8th 2020: EAD + AP Approved

April 10th 2020: EAD sent

My EAD combo card is on the way to me ! Figures id get it at the wrong time lol.

New Orleans seems to be pretty quick by all accounts

That's pretty funny, i received my notice today too that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview, i'm also in New Orleans as you know, i recently had to send in my response to my RFE that delayed it for a good month as i filed on October 8th, got RFE on Nov 26th which they now have accepted, i'll see you there

Hi there,

So ive filled for my Adjustment of Status application, my wife doesnt earn enough to sponsor me so my friend decided to be my joint sponsor... only he didnt file his 2018 taxes which i thought he gave me in the application when i sent it away...

So i received a Request for more Evidence letter basically outlying they rejected my joint sponsor due to not having his 2018 tax transcript...

He's going to file his 2018 & 2019 taxes on Tuesday, only apparently the Tax transcript for 2018 might take 4 weeks, i have until the 24th Feb to send in more evidence for my application...

Now i guess my question is, can i just get his 2019 tax transcript and send that off with my I-485 joint sponsor form + wage slips / proof of income documents?

Do joint sponsors have to show the past 3 year tax returns or just the current year?
