Case Complete to Interview April 2016

[Bunty12 0]

just done talking with NVC and ask him about , Do i have to have updated i-864 and file a Tax return of 2015 at the time of interview? He told me that I don't have to have updated i-864 and file a tax return 2015 at the interview because my wife interview is April 15th and tax return deadline is April 18, so u will be fine. I also told him that I already file an extension and sent it to my wife with copy of w2, he said that that's not necessary, but it's ok u did it. They will not ask updated tax return information before the tax return deadline.

7 days after case complete. Maybe today or tomorrow. Really doesn't matter if you got confirmation via phone. That's what matters..

He called the IRS office and they told him either way is fine but he will amend it to Married filing separately.

I am posting here my reply to your PM for the benefit of all members:

First, I want to clarify I referred to the NVC process Wiki guide here in VJ, not to the official https://travel.state...s/approved.html

The Official NVC section of the State Department does not specify how you file taxes, it just requires an AOS.

Second, the NVC process Wiki guide: Item 14 addresses taxes issues: It shows examples of 2014 because it was written back then.

Read my post on filing MFS and claiming the spouse exemption. (Extra refund money $$$)

http://www.visajourn...16#entry7996153

The 3 conditions to claim spouse exemption are NEW for 2015.

Filing MFS and using NRA in tyhe SSN field for immigrant spouse is nothing new.

This link proves that the IRS has provisions for non resident spouses living abroad.

https://www.irs.gov/...d-as-a-Resident

BOTTOM LINE IS NOT TO LIE TO UNCLE SAM REGARDING YOUR CIVIL STATUS ON YOUR TAX RETURN.

FURTHERMORE, THE CO WILL DENY YOUR VISA OR PUT YOU ON AP UNTIL YOUR INCOME TAX REFLECTS YOUR REAL CIVIL STATUS, WHICH MUST BE MARRIED BECAUSE YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A IR1/CR1.

The CO does no care if you file MFJ (a little bit complicated) or MFS (easier this year, because of the 3 conditions), THE CO WANTS TO SEE "M" for MARRIED.

seems like a checklist.. that's what happened to me. but i didn't get an interview date. maybe they want you to bring the documents with you to the interview.

I dont think its a checklist because case already completed at nvc and is now with embassy.. All necessary docs were submitted..

ok.. then my case is different than urs.. bcoz my cc was almost 4 and half months back and till the time it was with nvc it showed as n/a only.. and now after coming to embassy it is switched to paid.. i think it must be a routine..
