I am not sure how it applies when you file as MFS, but for the MFJ option, I entered NRA (non-resident alien) for my spouse's SSN. It was accepted by the IRS. The electronic versions would not take it. an error message kept coming up.

The 'APPLIED FOR' option means you have a pending ITIN (W7) application. I did not have that. That option may allow you to get a higher tax return. If there is no actual SSN or pending ITIN for the spouse, the IRS will deduct a percentage from the return. If you truly have a pending ITIN, then, it sounds like your tax preparer did the right thing to get you the most out of your return.

I am no expert on these things, but had to do the research for my personal return and am just providing what happened in my experience. You all should definitely contact your tax preparer and find out why they did it, if it is okay and if it is the best option for you.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your respond. I appreciate your time

Anyone else receive their case numbers?? It looks like we are up to 02/10 or 02/11.... I called on Monday still no case number for me... NVC received my case 02/18/14 ?

Hi everyone!

A few questions about the I-864 form:

1. In part 1 (see picture) are we supposed to put in the box "I, John Smith" ? Would be weird to just put "John Smith" as there is "am" right after...

2. Husband is a student and has no revenue (we have a joint-sponsor), he put $0 for part 6-13-a1, b1 and c1. The form states "if your income exceeds the Federal Poverty Guidelines, you are not required to complete this part". Does he have to fill in part 7 (it won't be enough anyway)? If not, does he have to put "N/A" "$0" "none" or leave it blank?

3. He didn't tick question 13 and 14 of part 7 as he was filled as dependant on his father's tax applications. However, he has IRS letters of non filing. He still shouldn't tick anything, right?

4. They say to leave things blank if the answer is "none", however I read that people received checklists for this. So should we put on every blank, even the optionals, "N/A" (or "none" ?) ?

5. I think I understood it correctly but I just wanted to check, in part 5-3, he should put 0 as I am the only immigrant and was therefore already counted in part 3.

6. Husband worked during a semester as a teaching assistant at his university last year (non taxable revenue). So he put in part 6-4 (unemployed since) the last day of his work, right? Seems weird to me though as he is a full time student and worked an hour a week during 4 months.

7. Last question (sorryyyy): for our joint sponsor, I remember I saw some weird checklists on this thread about a few cents missing in part 6-5, what was the problem again?? (I am worried he did the same mistake)

Thank you so much, some help would be greatly appreciated.

Talk to NoelAnne.. Her K-3 is being processed as we speak so don't jump the gun on spreading the " administratively closed" fable ! The backlog is so bad at the NVC, Some K-3s are squeaking by.. So that is what I am hoping for. I know the K-3 process well. I waited too long for my NOA2 .. If I can avoid all this NVC nonsense.... That is what I am gong to do. I don't care about the additional $1000 dollars. If I have to do the I-130 then so be it. I will be calling for my K-3 case number and following it to the embassy.

Does the TSC send out a notice that your case is sent to the NVC? Yesterday I received 3 responses to all the service requests I sent over the last few weeks. One response stated that it was responding to 3 inquires all at once ( LOL) anyway, the response form TSC said my case is not with them anymore, that is was sent to the NVC and gave me all the contact information in the response. SO, is there an officially shipped notice? Will I get a text? Just wondering

Best of the luck on the K-3 thing. Do let me know if that worked for you.

You should get a text/email when it ships out. I got one 3 days after they approved my petition.
