hi, i filed married filing jointly for 2023 and also filed a W7 to get ITIN for my wife...i sent a letter with my federal turn that i am filing jointly and her ITIN in in process..tax agent left social security box for wife blank and filed it as mfj. my state returns have been rejected the agent told me we need the ITIN # for her in order to process it. he also told me once i get the ITIN # then i can call them back and they process state return...the other option he gave me is to refile as a SINGLE..should i just wait till i get the itin #?? hopefully my federal returns will go thru..i did include a letter on top of my taxes mentioning ITIN is in process.

so then how can i get the marriage deduction if you are saying alien # cant be used...and no update from IRS about the w7 i sent months ago...what should i do..i need the deduction

Ok so we can use her alien registration # and file MFJ to get marriage deduction for this year and try amended 2023. right? i dont have proof of W7 i sent it all out to IRS.

hi jeanine nice to hear from u i got married dec 29, 2022...i filed 2023 taxes as MFS but didnt get marriage deduction. 3 months ago 130 was approved and she has a alien registration # now. I called a tax office today and asked if we can use the alien # to get marriage deduction she said YES. and she will also try to amend last year taxes if possible. I also filed a W7 8-9 months ago and today I called IRS and she told me they cant give me any info on it my wife has to call from morocco!! I just want to be sure we can use the alien # and file as MFJ to get deduction..I really need it as i am self employed and i owe 33k with freaking IRS so far!! r u on watsappp?

Hello, last year I filed taxes as MFS and did NOT get the married couple deduction but this year my 130 got approved and she was given a alien registration #. Can I file as joint return this year to get the deduction? I also applied for a itin # 8 months ago and today I called IRS they said they need to contact us they wont give me any info. I also called HR Block and guy said we can use the alien registration # to file as joint and get deduction..just wanted to know some of your opinions on this topic. thnx

Thank you so much...so looking at the chart it will be household of 3 me, wife and son...32000$ 125% above...final question...my 2023 taxes are above that levels but 2022, 2021 are not..will that hurt me?? thanks again

I am self employed and getting ready to do my taxes. I have a son from previous and she is with ex wife who claims him on her taxes..I do pay child support, and also have shared custody. My question is how much should my income be on taxes to meet the guidelines. For self employed do I have to show 2 years of taxes or just most recent? My case is waiting to be transferred to NVC so I am just preparing ahead of time on how much income I would need.. Thank you and please dont tell me to look in other forums for the answer I have tried and could not locate so thus posting.

Ok so you amended your returns after you got the ITIN and then got the marriage joint deduction? how do i check the status of my ITIN do i call IRS? Last year i took my taxes to a place and they filed it as Married filing separate I did NOT get the marriage deduction since there is no ITIN #...so i guess no deduction this year since there is no ITIN...that sucks lol

My wife i-130 is approved and now waiting to be transferred to NVC...She received a alien registration #. my question is regarding my 2023 taxes. can i file jointly or married filing separate in order to get the marriage deduction? i have also filed for an ITIN # MONTHS ago but have not heard back on it...is alien registration # enough?

hi, i finally got update on the 824 its at nebraska center which is the WORST !! letter says we have recieved your form and currently processing it. if we determine you must submit biometrics will mail you a biometrics appointment... what should i do now? nebraska is processing 20 months now...do u think my 824 get transferred faster or i have to wait 2 years now?

I finally got an update on my 824. it was recieved jan 5th and is getting processed in NEBRASKA...i am guessing 2 years waiting for them to transfer it to NVC????? finally got an update on my 824. it was recieved jan 5th and is getting processed in NEBRASKA...i am guessing 2 years waiting for them to transfer it to NVC?????

thanks..hope it gets transfererd quick...money order was cashed few days ago

The CEAC status will change to "At NVC" ? only thing i can check now is the USCIS with my case #...currently that shows case approved, case closed..can i check CEAC with my case # or not yet? thank u

hi is there a way to check if my case is transferred to nvc?

do u work for uscis or something?

thats horrible man...paying them 465 to correct a issue in line 61 i believe which they purposely planted there so that people make mistake and they will get 465 from it and on top of that take 1 year to transfer case to nvc....immigration system is a JOKE!!!! all they want is your MONEY

My i-130 was approved but there was a small error on my application which i had to correct by filing out i-824. it has been 4 weeks so far that i mailed my i-824 and just 2 days ago they CASHED my money order. is that a positive sign that they transferred my case to NVC or dont get my hopes up?

My notice letter on USCIS website says PETITION approved but retained by USCIS..can someone please shed some light on this as to what form I should fill out to correct this so that my case is forwarded to NVC. Someone told me to file 824 but another person told me to not file 824 which confused the hell out of me. My wife is still in morocco..she will get interviewed there and visa i assume issue at time of interview...I have pasted notice letter response below. thank you...So I need to file i824 and send this approval notice with the i -824? The above petition has been approved. However, you indicated on the petition that the beneficiary intends to apply for an immigrant visa abroad at a U.S. Embassy or a U.S. Consulate and will also apply for adjustment of status in the United States. Since you have indicated both options, USCIS has retained the petition. If the beneficiary intends to apply for adjustment of status in the United States, they should submit a copy of this notice, along with a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. They can obtain Form I-485 from the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov, by contacting the USCIS National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283, or by visiting the local USCIS field office. Filing address information can be found on the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov. If the beneficiary decides to apply for an immigrant visa outside the United States based on this petition, you should file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition, to request that we send the petition to the U.S. Department of State National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC processes all approved immigrant visa petitions that require consular action. The NVC also determines which consular post is the appropriate consulate to complete visa processing. It will then forward the approved petition to that consulate. The NVC will contact the beneficiary of this petition with further information about immigrant visa processing steps.

hi there..i asked someone else on here about my issue and they are saying to note file 824 so now i am really confused..there reason pasted below If you included a USCIS office, at the #'s 62, the USC has to file a special form to change interview location to Casa as u are not interviewing in US / there is a fee of over 500 but i have been looking and can't find the form # u do not do the I 824 /u can not do AOS in USA sorry i don't know that number of form but the VJ comminity does so ask in main page if the USC did not include a us office location and only put Casa, she needs to write to the US office to have them correct their error as u are not doing AOS to adjust status

ok i will fill out thank u...there is no fee waiver for this form ? 465 is alot lol now i have to wait 3 months for them to process this form...bummer

please look what i put for fields in the application..so u are correct my case is stuck now...i will file i824 tomorrow and mail it in along with their 465$ fee! The beneficiary will not apply for adjustment of status in the United States, but he or she will apply for an immigrant visa abroad at the U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate in: 62.a. City or Town Casablanca 62.b. Province Casablanca 62.c. Country Morocco and The beneficiary is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in: 61.a.

It says if she wants to apply for immig visa outside of US then file 824...she is not filing out side of the US , so why are you telling me to file 824??
