MaddyCruise congrats :thumbs:

My interview is on Tuesday... So we are getting all the papers again. I emailed the lady who did our taxes and she emailed me our taxes. I am soooooo mad. It says that my husband's filing status is single!!! He is saying that he told her to file married. She even had 2010 returns too and that shows we were married. I didn't work this year cuz i broke my limbs and i couldn't even walk. So i was home for a long time. But i didn't get any money from the goverment and don't have W-2 form for this year. I don't know this tax lady is stupid! And i'm stupid to not even check what my husband filed. Like year 2010 i didn't even have to sign they used my e-signature from previous years. My husband is so busy all the time. He didn't look it over. He just dropped off the papers she asked for and that was it.

SO what do you guys think is it really bad? We have taxes for 2 previous years. I'm calling this tax lady on Monday to fix this! But i mean we will try to explain the situation at the interview but is it totally the reason that they might deny our case?

Does your name and SSN or TIN also appear on the tax return?

Lisa and Ian, no! Nothing it's like i don't exist and it says he is single. I can't even...

Ok guys so we went to the interview. Expired passport was no problem at all just like my lawyer promised. He didn't even ask about it.They asked for my state ID to go through security.

The officer was middle aged guy. He didn't really talk much at all. It's like he didn't care. The interview lasted like 10 min and then he said that he needs to review the case. He said that it says on the case that we were supposed to have an interview and he needs to look into.We explained that the previous officer told me that second time i am going to have an interview since my husband was out of the country. The first officer wrote in big red on my case that interview was required,but this quy didn't really know all that. My lawyer cut in and asked him to please talk to us more and ask questions. So he asked us couple questions but still... Really weird. It was 6:45 am so i mean he was probably sleepy. lol

He also told me the first officer was supposed to change your last name to my husband's name.I asked him to do that 2 years ago. But he never did, he forgot. So the interview guy asked me why i never changed it. I explained that it was supposed to be changed, but it never was so asked him to do it this time.I explained that i never bothered to change it since i knew my card will have to be renewed in 2 years.

In the end he told us to send him more papers.While my husband was outside the country, i decided to go to my country and do some medical procedures there. It's super expensive here. Since i'm still a Russian citizen i went there to do operation for free. Anyway i was back by the time husband got back. SO this interview guy gives me this form (more evidence paper) and says to put the medical papers showing what i did in Russia for almost 6 months and to translate in English and get it notarized and show him ticket stamps. And then he checked stamps in my passport and went," it looks like you are in Russia all the time" and i went," this stamps are actually 6 years old.i only went home that one time for 6 months please see other page".

So now i have to proof why i went to Russia and why. I hear they always do this at my local office. They never approve at the interview they always request more evidence.

It is a good thing my lawyer was there. I think without this my case would have been denied. I'm telling you this guy didn't even ask questions. Anyway my lawyer talked to him alone too. so he decided to give us a chance. My lawyer said in all his 20+ years he never seen an interviewer who didn't actually interview and just issued us this form right away.

He said that if he doesn't approve we will take it to the court and they approve us there. But it will take years and cost us a lot of money and i won't be able to travel too. I hope he approves.

We will send them more stuff other than my medical bill from Russia. We'll send them more affidavits, new car title, letters explaining our relationship and all. Again a lot of time and money...But it's not like i have a choice...

Wow! They are getting really strict on ROC. I think telling you that your case has to be reviewed is standard procedure. Hopefully sending in the requested documents will result in a quick approval. Good luck to you!

So it seems like he's suspicious about the fact that you didn't change your last name and you stayed in Russia for almost 6 months? Did he ask your husband any question or he just asked you?

Thank you menina!

Gummibear,

yes kind of sort of. He requested notarized translation of my medical procedure in Russia and our tax return for 2011. We will amend the previous tax return. To get the new tax return it takes several month. I already posted how my husband filed through a friend of a friend and she filed as he was single Anyway we will send him the letter confirming that. That's all he asked actually :translation of my medical bill and tax return. But lawyer came up with a whole bunch of other stuff we can submit.Including mine and my husband's letter explaining our marriage, living arrangements and etc He wants us to submit more affidavits too. Every affidavit should be notarized and only US citizen or GC holder can submit. So i guess we are going to ask my husband's many cousing to help us out on this. And my husband has A LOT of cousins

He didn't ask us any personal questions. Just where we live, work, date and place of marriage, date of birth and previous addresses.

I heard that IRS takes at least 8 weeks to amend tax returns. I also made a similar stupid mistake when I filed for tax this February. My husband left me at the time so I was angry and decided to file as single and we were not married in 2010 so I filed tax 2010 as single. I don't know if the amended tax transcript will show the previous status or not. It sucks that affidavits have to be written by USC or Permanent residents. All my friends who know about my marriage and went to the wedding are international students with OPT after gratuation.

Seems like he asked you the same questions me and my husband were asked when I applied for green card the first time.

Can't you just get the amended tax return filled out and photocopy it for proof?

It sounds like you're getting it sorted, even though it's a lot of extra work.
