Does anybody have an idea of how to go about shipping our spouse's personal belonging to the US? Do we have to wait until the visa is issued? Is there a form I can sign to say these are my things so customs will let them in?

This is for CaliforniaGuy, and any other California residents. I posted it in one of the tax threads, but wanted to make sure you saw it.

For all the California residents here is a link stating that the Non-resident alien can be treated as a resident similar to the federal rules. (1st page, right column half way down) Kind of strange that they don't list it on the 540 form, but they do list it on the 540NR form, seeing as once it applies you won't be using the 540NR form.

thanks a lot for the link! It asks for a SSN or ITIN for the spouse if you are filing jointly...how are we supposed to provide that if we have not received our ITIN yet, and probably wont receive it until after tax season? Do we just put NRA there? This stuff is confusing.
