    Yes, we filed jointly this year (spouse's first year here). I even filed MFS last year when spouse was abroad waiting for interview. Only problem with including that is when you do MFS, the spouse name does not show up on the transcript so I'd have to include the entire 30+ page tax return.

    Thank you

    Do you think the incorrect address is an issue? My accountant swears many people put their work address or even their CPA's address on their returns.

    My spouse is removing conditions next year. The I-751 instructions say "complete joint Federal and State tax returns." 1. Do they mean the actual returns or the tax transcripts or both? 2. My accountant put the wrong address. He used a work address. Is there any way to correct this? My accountant says no. 3. For reasons other than the address, I may need to do an amendment (getting advice from another CPA). If I do, what should I include? The transcript won't be updated so I'm guessing transcript + tax return + amended return? Such a mess 😩

    He was DQ'd. The amendment had some error so it was rejected but by that time his wife had interviewed and got her CR-1.

    Yes MFS with no SSN or ITIN.

    I literally just e-filed in Oct. (for 2021; had an extension) but I used an accountant. Not all accountants even know it's possible. My original one swore it wasn't. I had to find one that could do it. There's nothing on the IRS end preventing it. It's a software issue.

    I e-filed MFS with an accountant. I believe he uses TaxAct, which I think you can also use without an accountant. https://oandgaccounting.com/need-itin-for-wife-even-though-married-filing-separately/

    You can apply for K-3 for both together. K-3 is for wife. K-4 is for child. I believe you submit just one I-129F form for both.

    Assuming you are a US Citizen, try filing an I-129F for a K-3 visa. You probably won't get a K-3 visa but it may speed up the I-130. Although, I usually only see it work if submitted quickly after the I-130 but it's worth a shot.

    What size paper did people print the Dubai PCC on? The PDF has dimensions of 8.5" x 13.24" which is closest to Oficio paper used in Mexico but I can't find that paper anywhere.

    We didn't sign and date. We took that to mean if you "attach a separate sheet of paper" to add additional information rather than make copies of that page.
  14. JD2
    We didn't. It doesn't ask for any signature or date. Just fill it out as indicated.
  15. JD2
    I wouldn't overthink it. My spouse signed it because my spouse could and we thought it's a good look to show direct involvement by the beneficiary. But I doubt it matters at all tbh.
  16. JD2
    You fill it out on paper and mail it in vs. fill it out on paper and scan it. Doesn't seem that different to me. And, to your issue about the signature saying something about her location, I feel it addresses it.
  17. JD2
    But isn't the I-130A scanned and uploaded online just like the paper filing? Also, seems like beneficiary signing it would be the same in either case.
  18. JD2
    We filed by paper and my wife is abroad consular processing and she signed the I-130A and there was no issue.
  19. JD2
    Figured it out. Bizarrely it won't accept any of petitioner's US credit or debit cards but it accepted beneficiary's Indian debit card.

    Trying to get UAE PCC but the Dubai Police website won't accept spouse's US credit card and I don't have bank account or credit card. Does it not accept non-UAE cards? Any idea how we can make payment or do I have to go to police station with cash?

    As long as you have a job and residence in your home country, you should be fine especially since you are on ESTA. My brother's wife came for 2 months and was completely honest at CBP. She said CBP officer raised an eyebrow when she stated the length of her stay but after she explained her job and how she could take off that long time, officer was satisfied.

    My brother did an amendment for the exact same reason. He submitted the following to NVC: 2021 tax transcript, 2021 1040, 2021 W-2, 2021 1040-X, and a screenshot of the 1040-X case status obtained from IRS.gov's "Where's My Amended Return?" Probably overkill but he didn't want an RFE. Caveat: he has not been DQ'd yet. Follow up with me in a month or so and I'll let you know if he had any issues.

    What's your DQ?
