-Letter from Human Resources of my university that stated the amount of hours I was allowed to work a week as a student assistant (18.5) and the wage I was making (7.50), (again to show why my tax return was so low)

-Copy of my university degree

[LotofPatience 65]

Loto - Thanks a lot. Do I have to file two separate state return? one for me and one for my wife?

Malvika,

Did you file IT-201 NY resident form for you and wife as MFJ for 2009?

Or, did you file IT-201 NY resident form for you and IT-203 NY Non-resident form for your wife as MFJ for 2009?

You should follow the same for 2010.

Loto

Loto, It was just one form which is IT-201 that we filed for 2009 as MFJ, my CPA did paper filling as we didn't have ITIN for my wife last year.

Guys, it was a good weekend. Especially the Saturday. It was sunny and warm. Uncharacteristically warm for a later January day. So we got a lot of Spring cleaning down. My mom came outside and directed my brother, and me. And my father was helping also. Sunday was equally good. I finished most of my shopping for next week's trip. By the way I made 88% on my Defensive Driving Course. After getting the required 19 question right, I intentionally answered incorrectly for sh**s and giggles. Also, I have been glued to Al-Jazeera English the last few days. The revolution (in Egypt), it streams.

In about an hour, my boss is taking me out for the year end review and lunch. Will probably get a 3% raise. Oh and I finished my tax return. Well, I finished entering all the data into the software. I used a dummy SSN for my wife. Once I get her actual SSN, will change it and file. But looks like, Mr and Mrs. Indigo's are gonna get $5,500. Good saving for a year. Unfortunately this is gonna fund my trip to Bangladesh and related expenses.

I hope you are all doing well and had a good weekend. Also, congrats to anyone who made progress on immigration journey and good luck to those still waiting. I'll be here all week so feel free to pitch me anything. Remember, this is all for you. We can talk about anything. Your life, your love, your immigration, money, faith, politics, that obscure fetish you have about tie-ing midgets to poplar trees and drowsing them with honey and watch the carnage as ants attack the poor soul. Yeah, we can talk about anything. So shoot.

Look at you Deshi bhai, had great weekend with family, salary raised, tax returned done, trip to BD in next and...Bhabi on the way to US..man i'm jelouse on you!!

Malvika,

That means, you both were declared as NY residents for 2009. So, show her as resident using MJF clause in the instructions and do e-filing.

Loto

Me too envy on Indigo!

-Joint-Bank Account statement showing both names as the same account holder

That's why I gave you a detailed list. That list was composed by multiple people in VJ in a wonderful thread of - "Secondary Evidences".

Prepare everything as much as possible. At the end, CO might ask only few pics and tel/chat logs as many experienced.

Thanks Loto. Just to confirm, it is not necessary to give the evidences to the CO outright. You should wait until they ask for it, correct?

Hey, did you have copies of all the docs that were submitted to NVC? Including those to be submitted at the time of interview?

[sulaiman 0]

So our case is on another review...need to wait another two weeks to see what they say....just to be safe, my husband is getting both police records again.... That way if there is a problem, I will just mail them out again....####### I am sick of this

Hi, I just had the same problem, and when I called they said they want the inteligent report not the police report.

Make sure he get's this from the intelgint agency in moroco.

[malvika 1]

Malvika good luck with the upcoming interview.
