K3 FAMILY - HANGOUT, week of March 16

[queuedup 1]

Thanks. I just spoke to the IRS, and 2 different agents said she is eligible for a TIN, because her and I are agreeing to file a joint return. I have to see if I qualify for head of household, but I don't think I qualify.

More fun!!!

Thats an easy one

You need a dependent living with you...

Don't have a dependent living with me, since my parents are living in the same house. My dad claims HOH since my mom lives in the house. So confused....

You wouldnt qualify then. BUT, once your wife finally gets here and you guys have some little que's...you can file HOH

LOL...I thought I was done with messy paperwork, now I have to deal with this stupid Tax Return. What a pain!!!

Called NVC today and the rep informed me that AOS is usually generated in 1-2 weeks and we should be getting notification this week! New day, new BS I guess I should be happy that they have changed the script a bit.

GS keep me iformed if you receive AOS & IV bill and I will do the same...

I called too a little while ago, I got the scripted 2-4 weeks yeah right....will call back tonite lol

Desire - CONGRATULATIONS to your hubby! Hope he has a save trip to the U.S.!!!

CONGRATS ONCE MORE!! YAYYYYYYY Prince+Angel hope we can do the big congrats dance for you guys soon I hope this is ur week! Lucky Thursday coming right up!

I thought I could send in the TAX return with the ITIN application, when I file. I have to figure this out this week...ughhh.

UGHHHHHHHHHHH sums up exactly how I feel about this stupid tax return! Why did the deadline have to be April 15th and not Dec 31st?? MAN just when we are dealing with NVC/Interview the deadline is fast approaching and one more messy thing to complicate our lives

MKG, I just wrote to u on that thread.

Q, can we get RFE if my I 864 only contains the last 3 yrs (2005-2007) since I have not filed my taxes yet and do not intend to do so until last minute since I owe on my taxes this year? Can NVC say oh we can't complete the case until u send us the 2008 tax return?

Waving at Jen. I feel anxious! I want my bill to be generated. I have never been this freakin eager to pay a freakin' bill lol and I feel this nervous feeling on my chest as if I am about to take a test for some weird reason. IDK why.... And now gotta worry abt this tax RFE thingie

OK, interesting info I just got from my phone call to the NVC.

I lied and told them the Senators offiCe inquired about my cases and was told they ARE at the NVC. She told me she has no record BUT if I send copies of my approval letters to the NVC address, they will do a more extensive SEARCH than what the reps can see on the screen. She said they can tell me where my cases are. So Tomorrow morning I will be FEDEXing my letters to the NVC and I expect them to tell me where my cases are. DANG IT !! I might even run out to staples now and make the copies and send it tonight. I was approved 12 days ago. This is almost 2 weeks of lost time

Hi everyone! I was on the road today, so I'm just catching up now. Exciting to see Desire got her approval and they'll be together next week. Gives me chills to think of my turn!

I was thinking filing single is the best option for me. I live alone and don't own property, so I always owe. Is there any advantage (other than looks for immigration) to filing married?

Jen, get the stuff in the mail! As soon as you do, they'll find your case. It's just how those things work!

I wish everyone tons of luck! I'm still stuck at VSC and figure it will be at least another month. Ugh

Well, maybe this will help you. I called NVC to see what can I do with a situation similar as yours and they told me that since the due day was soo close for the 2008 I should send the 2008 taxes but since I haven't them ready I could send a letter explaining why. So I sent my I-864 on thrusday with copies of 2007, 2006 & 2005 taxes including the W-2 for each year, copies of all my pay stubs for the last 6 month, a letter from my employer and a letter explaining why I didn't sent the 2008 taxes. I called NVC this morning and they told me that they accepted my I-864 yesterday and that everything was right. So I think that letter help me not to have a RFE.

Very interesting info. I would recommend you to take a car is faster than running... hehhe just kidding. By the way I talked to the lawyer about your case I will send you a PM later with the info.

Que,

your accountant sounds way offbase.

just stopping in to say that

heh

I hear you...so now im wondering what do I do?? I called the IRS and the lady I spoke to said my wife is eligible for an ITIN. I'll call the IRS again in a little while, and see if I get a different response.

Que,

Is for sure that your wife is eligible for ITIN. If you want to file married filling together you only need to file a W-7 form for your wife together with your taxes and on the part that ask your wife's SSN on 1040 form you will need to put ITIN REQUESTED. They will only take a littler longer to process you taxes. In my case I sent the taxes on april and received the refund on late june. About the head of household question, you can't claim HOH if somebody is claiming HOH at the same addres where you are living or if somebody is claiming you as dependent. Normally this HOH is only for unmarried person but in some case you can file as HOH for more information see the following link.

Me too I was downgraded again to 4-6 weeks and then upgraded again to 2-4...OK Friday will officially mark our second week! I can't believe how time is flying! I want March to stand still till our AOS bill is generated so we can get a May interview early April! 2 more weeks till beginning of April and we are running out of time. Funny how at VSC I wanted to sprint forward to approval and now at NVC I want to be stuck in March long enough to send evtg in. I'm thinking once the bills are generated and we are in the freakin' system it will go by super fast from there cz everything is pretty much ready and in place and we might be able to whiz by to case completion in 2 weeks since they now switched to email. Let's c how it all plays out.

COME ON NVC enter GS 130, Jen K3/I130 and Seren's I130 in the system ---->their files are suffocating under that mile high stack One protest banner for each of us. Okay one more for ARUBA and one more for Mayra and imagine a few more for others stuck @ NVC. Candid may Garga get u the case completion/interview date soon!

Since you are married you can't file as single unless some specific rules apply to you. But normally married filling jointly will be in your favor because what ever you make during the year will be for both of you and the taxes are less for married people than for single people. For example in my case my wife is not working right now so I check this: if a file "married filling separately" I will need to pay almost $2,000 dolars but instead filling "married filling together" I will receive a refund of almost $400 dolars. If you want to do a quick compare use the turbotax program and see what it tells you when you change teh status from filling separately to jointly.

when my husband called last week Friday he was told my case was being processed???!!! #######...

GS let me know as soon as you get any updates from NVC and I will keep you posted as well...

In a way we can take solace in the fact that none of the March approvals have had their AOS generated
