BK21

Adjusted Gross Income will be entered only if the person filed the taxes using 1040EZ.

But a self employed person can not file 1040EZ since it does not have Schedules.

Loto

It's clear to me now, thanks

I am a Self-employed Consultant and file both an 1120-S for an S-Corporation and a 1040. I am not sure which amount to use for my 2009 Individual Income. I paid myself from the corporation $35,000 and this shows on 1040 Under Schedule C - Income: Gross Receipts/Sales of $35,000 and on the first page it shows Business Income or Loss of $25,690.

There are 4 people in our household (me (sponsor), my husband (benificiary), and 2 children). 125% of the poverty Line for 4 people for 2010 is $27,562.

It makes a difference which amount I use as to whether or not I will need to provide proof of additional income. Can you give some guidelines on which figure I should be using. 2008 and 2007 are pretty much the same thing.

Many Thanks,

As per instruction on I 864 Question 25 says adjusted gross income is required which is line 37 on form 1040

Hello mrs.T

I have put N/A on this question actually

I did some research i found this line by line instructions http://www.***removed***....n-relative.html that goes through each of these questions and supports my opinion but not trying to convince anyone with it though, i am just mentioning it and i am learning from the process.

Good Luck to all of us

I agree with you the question is "complete if your relative is in us and will apply for adjust of status"

if not in us then the answer should be N/A

I also put N/A on all three lines.

Ya I know . I guess I'll keep on checking the site and keep calling them every week. That is all I think I can do at this stage. Besides getting the future documents ready.

My hard copy of NOA1 was dated 12th Oct and received it in mail on 14th.i tried calling the 800 number and got a human to talk to me who rudely told me to wait for the site to update or wait for 5 months you know the normal waiting time or mail the California Service center because there is nothing he could do about it.

Hey charity! I got a WAC# too but can't check my status online. Can You or someone else here? It keeps saying receipt number is incorrect. It would be nice to know if anyone else is having the same issue or not.

Congrats Loto . May everything go smooth and fast for you.

Congratulations!!!!:whistle::dance:

Hello, hello there

I feel like a part of this good community now.Filed 3 petitions for my spouse and 2 kids on Oct 4th at the Chicago Lock Box. Got email and text message 2 days later.then checks were cashed and received email and then hard copy of NOA1 dated 12th October.Now I have been trying to access my case online by putting in the receipt numbers but it keeps saying the number is incorrect. Called on Tuesday at the 800 number. Finally got a live person to talk to who was outright rude and nasty. He says since the case has been routed to California Service center I need to write to them for any queries or just sit and wait for 5 months which is the usual processing time. So you see the rock and roll begins.

Hi Guys

I don't know if this is relevant or not but I filed I 130 in Oct and received NOA1 saying my case has been routed to California Service Centre for processing. I hope this is normal and by the way I can't access my case online cos it says the receipt number is incorrect. Talked to a live person on Tuesday who said I will have to write to CSC for any inquiries. So I don't know if they are sending all new cases to CSC .

I guess I have to wait till Monday till I get a real human on the phone. Thanks Indigoskies for helping here.Still I cant help stressing out.

Hi folks

I sent the i 130 packet for my spouse and 2 kids on 2nd Oct to the Chicago Lock Box and it was received by Uscis on 5th Oct and it has been forwarded to the California Service Center. I received a notice in mail with the receipt numbers dated 12th Oct. So now when I try to access the Uscis website to check for my status updates It says receipt number not found. I called the 800 number too and the machine says that the receipt number is wrong. So what do I do? Is the receipt number actually wrong or is it not in the system yet?

I am sure I am using the correct 13 digit number starting with WAC with no spaces etc. Anyone can help.

I didn't send a single sentence of chat or even a single picture of us. I didn't even send a cover letter like everyone else here seem to do. This is all I sent

• I130 form
• G325A for me
• G325A for her
• Copy of my citizenship certificate
• Copy of my passport
• Copy of our marriage certificate
• Copies of our birth certificate
• Her passport sized pictures

I received my 130 approval in 158 days. The conversations between my wife and me are personal. No one, absolutely no one, has the right to see them. To want to see them is gross violation of our fundamental human rights. Marriage certificates are legal documents admissible in all courts of the world as proof of marriage. That is what's sufficient for USCIS.

I understand it's different if you are applying for a fiance. The burden of proof lies on the person since there hasn't been a legal/civil marriage yet.

My thoughts exactly Indigoskies! Thats what I have sent in the I130 package.I will show only the log and no chats when asked for it.

Good Luck. May God be with you.

Many Congrats!!!

many congrats!!!!

Guys on my I-130 for my spouse and kids I have a query. On question 22.if my relative is not in the US do I still fill out the American Consular post abroad or do I write N/A?

22.Complete the information below if your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status.

C. Information about your alien relative (continued)

(Name) (Relationship) (Date of Birth) (Country of Birth)

Phone Number (if any)

(Name) Address (Include street, city, province and country):

From: To:

1. If separate petitions are also being submitted for other relatives, give names of each and relationship.

(City) (Country)

NOTE: Designation of a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the country of your relative's last residence does not guarantee acceptance for

processing by that post. Acceptance is at the discretion of the designated embassy or consulate

Hi everyone

I am going to file for my spouse and 2 children and I am assembling the I-130 packet to send to USCIS.I need to know if I need to file the Biographic Information form G-325 a for my 2 children too who are under the age of 21?

All responses will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the responses people. I was thinking of filing I 130 and asking for a K3 visa just to make them come here quicker.

Also you said "Do you know you could have possibly filed married filing joint? in many cases it makes a big difference "' Can you please elaborate.

Hi

I have been around for a while absorbing all the good info you guys give.

I am a naturalized USC since 2003 and want to bring my spouse of many years and my 2 kids here.I am thinking of going the K3/K4 route than the I 130.

The income tax returns that i have to show are filed married filing single.But someone told me recently that the filing status should be single since my spouse is not with me.Which is correct?

Secondly the birth certificates issued in India do not have the new born child's name on it, just the mother and father's name.I heard Immigration needs the child's name on the BC.How to resolve this issue?

I would appreciate your replies.And you will see a lot of me around.

Thanks again.
