Did you earn income in 2022? If so, you as an LPR file a US return. There are US/UK tax treaty measure that keep you from double taxation on the same earnings so you may not owe any US taxes, but you still file. You may also benefit from a joint US return filed with your spouse rather than each of you filing married filing separate returns. You report both incomes (earned anywhere) on the joint return, but again, the tax treaty keeps you from paying income tax on the same earnings to both countries. I too think your tax lawyer is wrong. TurboTax is great and will handle it, but you will need to understand your options for excluding foreigner earned income or foreign taxes paid. If you are willing to study a lot of IRS publication to get a grasp of US tax laws, then TurboTax works well to do the math and create the Forms and Schedules. But TurboTax is not magic if you have no clue about tax rules/law.

What is your visa? What country and embassy? This is a forum for London experiences. Is that where you interviewed? If you would fill out your profile and timeline, it would be most helpful to those that answer questions. Do you need help finding where to do that?

You’re fine on both of those. Your varicella was waived and the envelopes are mostly just K1s now. POE won’t expect an envelope.

Not possible without filing.

1. We did that and most others do too. Be sure to cancel your return. You can also try different dates and times for the return portion. You might lower your round trip cost based on the return leg you pick. 2. The line you use depends on the airport. As you enter the immigration hall, ask an attendant if you can go through together and which line. We were directed to the US resident line. Be sure to mention you need your immigrant visa processed.

CEAC. After issued, next you will get email from the courier when they are ready to deliver. Remember the embassy is closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday. Maybe they will get on with it and issue before Thursday. Congratulations on a successful interview.

You do not pay income tax on money you hold already whether you keep it in Pakistan or move it to a US account in your name or your spouse’s name. If you earn interest on the account during a tax year, only the interest earned is considered income and is reported on your tax return. The whole balance of your savings is never taxed by the US. If you transfer an amount of $10,000+ to the US, it is reported to the US government, but the bank receiving the transfer will do the reporting for you. It is reported, not for income tax, but as a requirement of banks to have a way to check on money laundering or terrorist funding if needed.

Oh geez…You seem to be overthinking this. The link in a nutshell is saying it is okay to go to the US on VIsa Waiver …you know like having ESTA…and marry as long as you plan to go back home. And the CBP (Customs and Border Protection) at the airport may ask you for proof of ties back home …like having a residence…that you will return to and you haven’t abandoned. That’s all that not abandoning residence means—-you may get married on a tourist visit short visit to the US, then return home to process a spouse visa. Nothing I was mentioning was about going as a tourist and staying and adjusting status. That would be circumventing immigration law. That is a whole different situation. I believe from another post of yours, you thought you had to have a K1 to marry in the US. Another option is going over just to marry, then return back to the UK and apply for a spouse visa. And the US Embassy in London tells you that is acceptable as long as you go back to the UK after. And you learned on here that just about all fiancé petitions are now processed in Cali. That is some really old info he got, like 2008 vintage, when the state of residence determined the service center for the I%129f and one mailed their petition directly to the service center. Now all fiancé petitions start at what they call the “Texas lockbox”. Spouse petitions that are done by mail start at various other lockboxes. They are just big intake centers.

I think you misunderstood. I never thought you wanted to marry in or live in the UK. The link is about marrying in the US. That FAQ was just to show you it is perfectly legal to marry in the USA while.visiting to back up where I said “You could fly to the US tomorrow and get married there, because you are from a VWP country (Visa Waiver Program).” And I understand you would rather have the K1. I chose the same visa but at the time, it only took 4 months total for a fiancé visa. The work authorization (EAD) took less than 2 months, and the greencard 5.5 months. The wait is much longer now for the the greencard.(another year for that?) so that’s why so many tell you to go for a spouse visa which is a better visa since ou get the greencard and can work and get a US driver license immediately. I don’t care. Everybody has their reasons for choosing. I was just educating you on general possibilities, not that you care about a spouse visa because you have chosen fiancé. You’ll do fine. How old is your daughter?

On the LONDON embassy FAQs—https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-faqs/ We are traveling to the United States to marry and will return to the United Kingdom after marriage. Do I still need a fiancé(e) visa? If you will return to your permanent residence you may apply for a tourist B-2 visa, or if eligible, travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program. At the time you apply for the visa and/or travel to the United States you will be required to show that you have a residence outside the United States that you do not intend to abandon. There is no set form that this evidence takes as it varies with each person’s circumstances.

Both VWP countries so you could travel on either passport with ESTA clearance to the US and marry while there. Fiancé’s from places like Philippines, Mexico, most of South America, Africa, and the Middle East can’t easily visit the US so the K1 allows them a way to enter so they can marry.

I forgot to address this part. Your visa allows you to remain in the US and a path to a greencard and citizenship, so the extra questions and the medical exam are not just for getting married. You could fly to the US tomorrow and get married there, because you are from a VWP country (Visa Waiver Program). That is assuming you are British and not from a non VWP country living in the UK.

It’s part of the vetting process. They want to know if you have training or work experience in various technical or scientific fields for example. Bomb making, explosives, biological toxins come to mind. Some occupations could trigger further security checks.

That doesn’t apply to the Covid requirements. The full primary series (2 shots with most brands) are required and can’t be waived.

I don’t think that has been authorized for children.

Who told him to send it to Nebraska? Just curious where that advice came from. Did you read this page of information from USCIS? Please open the link https://www.uscis.gov/i-129f If you look down the page you can open “Where to file” and it shows all K1 petitions go to Texas. So from here on out my suggestion is read everything you can from the source, USCIS, including every word in the instructions for each form which they always post, along with fees, etc. Your wait is going to be a long one, so do all you can to get each step right from the start so an RFE (Request for Evidence) doesn’t delay you. From what you say, your petition landed at California so that’s where it will stay. A least they didn’t send it all back and say start over and submit to the proper place. You can’t request a move to a more favorable center. Sometimes USCIS moves batches to balance out the loads but you have no control over that. Good luck on everything going well for you.

I am familiar with the form and that part has read the same way for the last dozen years. Let me decipher the wording for you because it is a bit confusing to some. . First, leave out the part in parentheses and it reads” My total income as reported on my Federal income tax returns for the most recent three years was: And where is your total income found? On Line 9 in 2021. Now to explain the part in parentheses— My (adjusted gross income as reported on IRS Form 1040EZ) Did you use form 1040EZ, a shortened version for people with very simple returns? No you couldn’t use 1040EZ because it was dropped by the IRS. So nothing in the parentheses can apply to you or matter to you. You ignore it completely. Get a sharpie and black it out on a practice form so you quit reading AGI. The only reason it was included is because on the former 1040EZ, there was no line called “total income” so the alternate for those EZ users was use the AGI line. Here is the last year of the EZ form. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1040ez--2017.pdf Can you see how those people could not report “total income” as found on their tax return? It wasn’t there. Do you get it yet and feel more comfortable with the concept that your total income line is the one you report to USCIS.? Use it for I-864 Part 6 #10 because of being self-employed, as well as #24 abc.

She is self employed so she would be filing Form 1040. Form 1040EZ has not been used by the IRS since 2017. Forget that comment about 1040EZ. It no longer exists. Forget AGI. Not applicable.

Because your wife is self employed, she has to use her tax return info. The number she puts comes from her 2021 Form 1040. Total Income on Line 9. Copy the number exactly. That is the income the officer will use to determine if she qualifies without a joint sponsor. All your wife has to prepare for her part is the I-864 and her tax transcript, as the proof of income. She doesn’t have the option of employer letter or pay stubs because of being self employed.

I did not do online N-400, but when I applied I did not list the names of my wife’s grown, married, 30-something yr old children at all. The interviewing officer did not mention them either.

And what was your experience with your cards today?

NHS initially planned their schedule in order to have enough vaccine supply to go around. Their logic was get shots in more arms rather than reserving 2nd dose supply at 3-4 weeks for those already vaccinated.

Talk to the clinic and ask about the interval and if they can follow the US FDA and CDC guidance. NHS policy goes against those agencies and the manufacturers schedule. Perhaps you can get it if you pay for it instead of free on NHS. Moderna- 4 week interval Pfizer- 3 week interval As far a timelines, that is never ever a fixed thing you can count on. It’s whenever the officer at the embassy gets around to picking up the delayed case and finishing.

“When you get back” meant when you get back from your trip. So if you did not leave your passport at the embassy, you would send it in when you returned (got back) from the US trip. Sounds like you have a plan with your husband picking up at the depot.

You can ask to keep your passport because you have immediate travel. When you get back, you use “courier in” to send it to the embassy. If you use the other passport, don’t forget to have someone with your ID to receive your visa/passport delivery a few days after interview.
