forget the affadivats /they are of little use

and forget the western money sent to Tunisia  that is really a red flag

go to USCIS website or here under guides and see the real proof you need 

 

we did send a few chats from beginning to end but that was a long time ago

to USCIS chats don't prove the relaitonship is anything more than friendly and they use to ask for them but not so much anymore

allah yessir

From uscis i got the information and they already make a section for affidavit sworn from family and friend and uscis said if i dont live in tunisia i must upload photos , chat log , letter between us , i think u need some updates about online filing because there is full section to apload affidavit , and we already 4 years together ,  married after 1 year of physicaly meeting and that attached photo is from immigration lawyer , 

Having a joint things in usa is red flag as i never was in states

you can not file 2021 till 2022 

our embassies are so difficult when it comes to getting visa approved

this is why i filed for the ITIN to show we were commingling monies

just follow the IRS site as it tells you how to get the ITIN 

you need to fill out W7 form and send in copy of his ID (birth certificate or national ID and your marriage license )   documents in Arabic and English translations (both)

 

if your IRS returns show single,  its pretty hard to convince embassy you're married

 

you are almost 2 years from getting to the interview stage so  you have time to correct the 2020 tax return with the 1040x

i have legal marriage certificat , full  wedding photos with family and friend , photos of vacation together , western union money transfer between us , and big chatlog and call history , i have affidavit letter  from my family and her family , her brother will co sponsor us .

why i will aply  for itin if she will not file for 2020

If you are married, then you are not single and cannot file that way. A quick Google search shows that immigrants (whether they have been in the USA or not) can easily obtain an ITIN. The following link was the very first result when I Googled, "Get ITIN for someone who has never been in the USA": https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/can-i-still-get-itin-for-spouse-who-has-never-been-in-us-for-2018-filing-and-file-as-married-filing/00/621357#:~:text=Yes%2C you can apply for,file as married filing jointly.

 

And within that link is a link to the IRS' official website page about ITIN's: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/taxpayer-identification-numbers-tin

yes correct , 2018 and 2019 she filed SINGLE cause we still not married yet , and 2020 she dosent reach the minimum income lvl cause she was in tunisia ( we have joint account )

i will aply for ITIN and she will file jointly .

The USC should join the group and read the guides above to know the process as at this point all the work is done by her.

 

you were married in 2020 so she should have added your name to her IRS tax returns  this spring of 2021 to start to show commingling of finances (she will have to produce IRS transcripts for the NVC and interview stage 

this is more important than chats

she should provide things like the marriage certificate and boarding passes and joint rental of apartment in Tunisia for the petition ( no idea how you do this as an unmarried couple is not suppose to live together in your country but when she writes her cover letter and says you lived together,  USCIS will expect to see this.)

 

but again read the guides above for all the steps and required documents

 

and you should read your portal posts and embassy reviews (hit the word portal above 

 

since she lived there a year,  your issue may be her income and she needs to check the US poverty guidelines (125% ) to sponsor you

 

and thank you for starting a timeline,  please keep it filled in during this process

There is no requirement to upload any.
