Your accountant is incorrect. File "Married Filing Separately". You will NOT be able to file electronically, which is why your accountant is pushing back. His tax software will not let him type "NRA" (Non-Resident Alien) in the Spouse's SSN spot. So he has to prepare a MANUAL (meaning a hard-copy paper) tax return, and physically write "NRA" in the SSN space.

I agree - trying to get a certified copy of a passport (because it has to be certified at the Embassy/Consulate) is VERY difficult in some countries.

If he is unwilling to do this, find a different accountant.

Thank you Sukie :)

I sure will let you know buddy. Stop worrying man, after you send them the transcript it won't take long to issue you a visa.

Yes, as soon as the interview was over, case went to ap and the last update is still the interview date.

We decided it'd be worth to wait a month or two because then we could put that trip money for better use(think of the big picture) haha :idea:

Thank you and I wish you the same.

B-)

Thanks buddy! I hope this wont take too long, this small separations hurts bro :(

Question

During interview how CO verify W2 or tax papers ?

If they need to verify (meaning they don't believe what you submitted is authentic) they can notify the IRS. Pretty simple.

And not just certified copy of passport but signed W7. And also a signed Tax for. Alot of logistics.

If you are on this thread means you have case complete. Means you are almost done. Makes absolutely no sense to do all this so soon before spouses arrival.

It can take 6 months to get a ITIN unless you take all these papers in person. It's better to just wait until spouse gets here then file than amend later and all that .

For immigration purposes you should file an extension. As far as penalty. The April 15th deadline to file ONLY applies to those who owe. If you expect a refund you can file whenever you like. Those who owe after April 15th you star accruing penalty interest (Not a lot) but it grows everyday.

Lord I am going cray cray trying to get this Interview package together for hubby. Lord it's like all my years of advice and help has left me.

  • Originals of all documents submitted
  • Divorce Decree
  • 2015 W2 and IRS Extension form
  • Wedding album
  • Picture album with both trips that will cover 6 months of living together
  • Since I been here 5 months no chats to submit
  • I guess can screen shot some Facebook (like boring. Isn't living together good enough) :devil:
Can't think of anything else. Any suggests? I will be outside. My husband wants to get a T-shirt made with "I am DWheels76 Husband" LOL. :rofl: Don't know if Lagos ready for him. Lord father.

Congratulations dwheels! Defintiely do the t-shirt and you get one that says.."I am DWHEELS76".

In your list of documents for your folder, in regards to item 1. You aren't referring all the documents submitted to the NVC (as outlined in the travel.state.gov site), correct?

Although I have yet to be scheduled an interview, I have already started preparing the folder so I want to ensure that I am not missing anything. I have a 3" binder that has everything that I had submitted to USCIS for my records, should those copies of those documents be sent as well (I'm a separate folder of course)?
