Nope. Just gotta wait. NVC is currently going through a backlog, so things are obviously going to take longer.

Hey Saylin,

Quick question about filing taxes. I've been reading that if you get married after Dec. 31st, you file as single for your taxes. Do you know anything about this? I ask because we got married Jan. 30th and I just don't get how we could file as married for 2013.

I am the beneficiary.

July 2010: Met in Germany

Sept 14th 2012: Started Relationship (visited each other 20+ times since then)

May 1st – Aug 31st 2013: J1 Stay in US

Dec 23rd 2013– Jan 4th 2014: Trip together to Germany

Jan 30th, 2014: Married in VA!

Feb 11th, 2014: Back in Montreal

USCIS Journey

Feb 13th, 2014: Sent I-130 packet overnight (delayed by DC storm)

Feb 18th, 2014: I-130 received by USCIS (PD)

Feb 20th, 2014: NOA1 (email)

Feb 25th, 2014: NOA1 (paper)

You wouldn't file as married in 2013 since you weren't married. You'll file as married for 2014 though.

If you're going to send physical photos and not just copies, put them all in a plastic bag. Make sure you write the date and what's going on on the back of each picture.

Is it a good idea for the petitioner's original (or certified copy) of the divorce decree to be sent into the NVC with the DS-260 / IV packet? Or should the beneficiary bring the petitioner's original or certified copy of the divorce decree to the interview at the consulate? I understand it's unnecessary but there have been some questions regarding this and I did not see a clear answer.

Thank you
