Aug 2013 I-130 filers

[kssette 30]

ok guys and girls......I got 2 questions,

first off I have received a total of 5 text from uscis.....2 on 2/3 stating I was transferred on that date, 1 on 2/5 stating I was transferred on that date, and 2 on 2/6 just stating I was transferred with no date mentioned.

emails total 3 following each day of text stating the same info.

what does all this mean really? Is it significant or just someone hitting the repeat key?

2nd question: I have already filed my 2013 federal and state tax returns as single. I did so based on the information I read when I tried to change my w-4's after getting married. The w-4 would not allow me to mark married as it states if married to a nonresident alien mark single. Now I have read several post saying I need to file married filing separately with an ITIN that I have to apply for with a w-7. Do I need to do this now? Will it in any way affect my petition or visa for my husband? Or is this something I can amend at a later date?

btw.....congrats everyone with transfers and approvals and hoping those not transferred yet will get theirs soon!!!

your w4 is for your witholding and has no bearing on how you file (single, married filing jointly, etc) it just determines what rate they withold taxes from your pay. If you file MFJ or MFS you will most likely get a refund since they witheld at the higher single rate when you are in fact NOT single.

As to whether you need to amend, that i don't know. i do know that once you are married you should not file as single since you are NOT single. I guess I would try to find out if you should amend now as MFS or once hubby comes you can amend as MFJ? I don't know if there is any impact to the immigration process either??

sorry i meant transferred ! lol when will it be approved?

[waiting_______ 92]

What you are saying makes sense! I just would be so happy to get an approval before I leave to visit my hubby in India! That would be the best case scenario to me at this point!

Wish you the best. Make sure you have your all of your affidavit of support docs prepared and with you.

It will depend on where you got transferred to- and you won't know that until you get your hardcopy from USCIS in the mail. Some of the files that were transferred to CSC have been getting approved in, like, a week or so.

good question !!

never punctual.

exceptionally uncooperative.

VERY disorienting.

unpredictable AND yet very very demanding.

absolutely loving these misanthropic bureaucrats and the scars they're searing onto my memory.

sorry about getting all emotional.

hard copies arrive in 5 business days after your 3rd email (the last two emails for each petition)
