Do a search on this site. My wife did it, I do not know the details...but i do know that she DID do it and that others have done it as well..

Post a new message asking for the info if you can't find it through one of teh shortcuts.

Or ...send a private message to my wife.....RyandGracey....and she would happily give you the details.

I don't know if most Americans go in search of a foreigner for a relationship, although I am sure there are some.

Personally, I did not..it just so happen that the woman I was meant to be with is Filipino....and an amazing woman at that.

you can submit your A.O.Support via email. There are templates on this site...just fill in the blanks and forward to NVC email address. Saves you a ton of time.

did you explain to the about the "rejection"? I am sure you did. What was their response to that?

I know its a pain in the rear, but you need to call and talk to another operator. Sometimes you can and can get different answers.

Explain the situation to them again. And check with your bank and see it the payment has been or will be processed. Cancel the "rejected" payment and initiate another.

I will be curious in knowing what the results are.

you should call NVC and talk to an operator. Usually takes about 3 days for them to confirm that they recieved the payments.

Our case has moved to USEM...never at any time the the automated system give me any information.

It always said it had no record of our case number

How heartbreaking to hear. I do not know the details of what is going on, but on the surface it is very sad.

I really hopt that there are no children involved either.

I cannot imagine berating my wife. I love her so much. She is my Queen and I will treat her as such.

I do not have any advice to offer, but can hold them both in my prayers.

Congratulations and thanks for the update.

My wife has her medical exam on 11/25 and then interview on 12/9..630am. This will be very good information for her.

Kaffy...VERY good points. I agree 100% with you. But it does not hurt to have an insider to help as well.

Have you contacted you local PHil-Am community? There are contacts within those groups that can network for you or even in a position to offer you a job. Especially if you have a college education(as long as that education does nto require certification in the states), there would be oppurtuniies from inside that group.

Is a good place to start.

neither Grace or I drink...so, i geuss I will have to choose something else.

Grace..I would say is something like a Green Mango drink. So yummy, but just different enough to stand out among the crowd.

for myself...hmmm?....I would say that I am something like C2. Nothing special, but JUST tastey enough to be memorable.

My incredible wife may differ, from these and would be ineresting to know her own responses.

ok:

if one files married, seperate the standard deduction is.....$5350

if one files married, joint the standard deduction is....$10,700

These are the amounts that can be deducted from the total income for the year. It dependes upon which tax bracket he would fall under, based upon his total income and then after dedcutions. Does not mean that he will pocket an extra $5350...the afore mentioned determines those totals.

He can file you and your child/children as exemption which would all be a tax credit.

I was in your position last tax year and I could not file jointly b/c no ITIN and no SSN yet, as my wife and child are not here yet. And this year I will have to do the same, still no ITIN and no SSN. So, I am sacrificing that money in order to have a simple processing of CR1 and also to NOT include my wife's income, which would throw us into a higher tax bracket and(potentially) have to pay more taxes.

I wish that I could give you a single "yes or no" answer...its such an individual choose and thoe factors change alot from person to person.

I think that if you want to process as quickly as possible through NVC and reunite with you hubby..just have him file his 2007 tax married yet seperate. But have him get the documents for the ITIN and process that on the side, unrelated to the the VISA process.

Xylide:

not matter what he MUST file his 2007 tax returns. You will process no further without that.

How he decides file depends on what is important to the both of you.

Married but seperate will not require the ITIN and he can complete his 1040, mail it off, and await IRS response.

If filing married, joint..then you will have to process an ITIN and wait for that response once that number gets processed then he can file married/joint..but he would also need proof of your income from PI; if you have any. That will need to be added to his 1040, along with the ITIN, then he can send that to the IRS and wait for processing...then once he gets a response from teh IRS...his complete 1040 from them...he can then send that to NVC for AOS processing.

Depends on what is important to you.......the time or the money.

I hope it goes well for you.

i saw my hubby's tax return from turbo tax and it says that he filed married jointly even if i got denied of ITIN..

if u were denied number it may still read as originally sent but within the system it has been changed to reflect otherwise and if he was to get return it will be less than originally stated both federal and state returns

ya he got both federal and state tax return..

and he didnt FILE LATE...

Sorry, to tell you, but the IRS won't allow it..they will change it there.

But I think you bigger issue is the tardiness of him filing.

HUH was this necessary???

the tardiness of him filing his tax retursn, si what I mean. The IRS does not like tardiness with tax filings.

Take not offense to that; I would just not like to see you have to pay more to the IRS, because the tax returns are late.

he didnt file late..

not saying he file late, and im sure he did get both but you go back and ck or ask irs and you will prob see they amended the return within the system to not show jointly and he prob would have gotten letters explaining this at the time

Exactly, if filed before April 15th and filed joint...the IRS would have ammended to married seperat, spent the tax return check, and he woudl have gotten the ammended 1040A....that should be sufficient for NVC processing of AOS. Should be no problem, if this is the case.

no we didnt spent the money. a check was delivered to my MIL address like 2 months ago and it was still there until now. he cant do anything yet because he is deployed.. I will ask him to call IRS and clarify things as soon as he gets bank in the states..

and he did file his 2007 taxes using turbo tax, i was just relaying what i SAW on his tax return ..

AND NO HE IS NOT TARDY!!

sorry, i meant send, not spent, my poor typing.

I hope he is safe, wherever he is deployed. I am an Army Veteran myself. Serving during the Gulf War, in Somalia, and in Bosnia...then a humanitarian mission in Cuba.

Will keep him in my prayers.

well, sad to say but we called NVC and they told that my hubby really needs to file his tax for 2007..

so he is sending me paperwork to fill up to get my ITIN so he can file his tax including me,married filing jointly..

but i read that it will take 4-6 weeks to process the ITIN, and thats the time he can file his tax and then after filing, thats the time he can send the AOS to NVC..

all in all, it will eat almost 2 or so so months before my case be completed..

my question is, is there any other way we could do?any other options?

if i could get an interview even if he have not send the AOS yet?

or can he get a co-sponsor if he has no 2007 tax?

im so upset..

Maybe I am misreading, but I thought "NVC and they told that my hubby really needs to file his tax for 2007".this meant he has yet to file his 2007 tax returns. Am I mistaken?

I cannot speak abou the processing of the ITIN, but I do know for a fact that he cannot file joint without the ITIN.

Moonhunt may have been through the process before and have a better handle of the processing of an ITIN.

Hope I helped and not confused.

I think that is a good choice, but have him go ahead and process for the ITIN..so, that for THIS tax year, he can then file joint and get those extra deductions that are oh so nice.

I am not a CPa, but if your goal is to speed through NVC so you can get the the U.S., my advice is to have him file his returns, married filing seperate and send it off ASAP. Have him get his tax returns direct deposit to his bank account, and wait for teh 1040A to be sent back my the IRS..then he can send that to NVC to join with his AOS and you should be on your way then.

when the AOS was sent he must not have had 2007 tax returns, so(if I were to guess)..they won't process your AOS, thus not your case. They require, at the least, the last years tax returns. From what I hear you saying, he does not have that.

I know for certain that when her files his 1040 form that he will be asked ofr either your SSN or ITIN....that tells me that it is not possible to do that.

Again, I think he should seek the advise of a CPA; just to be certain. You don't want anymore delays than needed.

Why did he not file hi taxes before April 15th? And now..is NVC stopping your processing b/c of that?

yes, once you have either a SSN or an ITIN then ...yes, her can file joint.

But for you current issue. You must decide what is more important...

1)filing seperately..which he can do now and send the 1040A off immediately...

or..

2)filing joint..which he will need to wait for the ITIN and then have your signature on teh 1040A and you providing proof of your income in the Philippines so that income can be taxed as well.

you must decide what is most important. Yes, if you file joint you may be entitled to a larger income(depending upon that amount of YOUR income ot be added) or the speed by which to process the IRS and get to finish at NVC.

Those, basically are your options.
