yes bcoz we didnt get green card cant file married .so thats not worry my husband asked to IRS so they said u cant bcoz wife have not yet green card.

If you are married on Dec 31, you MUST file MARRIED for that tax year.  You can not file single.......  It does not matter where the foreign spouse is.  It does not matter if they have a green card.....

 

A married person must file as married...

 

I do not believe that the IRS told a married person to file as single

Does it matter if I (petitioner, usa) filed the taxes for 2016 with marital status of Single? I told my CPA to put it as Married but he filed it as Single. 

If you married on Dec 31, you can not file as single for that tax year.......period!!!

It is extremely simple. If your husband was a married person on the day of December 31st, he/she can not file as a single person for that tax year.

I was married in Aug 2016. My tax papers for 2016 ( which was sent to NVC) was filed as single AND my tax for 2017 ( which was used at the interview) was also filed as single. My husbands visa got approved and issued. So I would NOT be too concerned about it as I know plenty of other people who has done the same and had no issues. The main prupose of even asing for tax papers is to ensure you have sufficient income and are not below poverty level.

Regardless of approval, your taxes were filed incorrectly...

The counslar told my spouse to mail the documents via empost or come one Sunday to give to us. So, I am not sure if the consular didn't realize that it is easter or if they are actually open. We submitted our documents via empost.

No first go online sign in choose option send documents then go to consular instructed me to send documents then click write the reason directly youll get email with authorization papes take it and go to empost give it to thw counter with your passport and what missing documents and hell send it 

Screenshot_2018-03-28-12-52-45.png

This was very helpful. So we printed off the Courier-in Authorization document (2 pages). Placed the second page of the Courier-in authorization document inside the envelope with other documents as instructed (be sure it is the first page of the packet). And kept page 1 of the document outside of the envelope to hand the page to the empost personnel. Took the envelope of documents and gave to consular. Consular placed them in a special plastic envelope and said the mail should be delivered within 2-3 days. Gave us a sheet of paper with tracking number on it. After that, we also got an e-mail regarding our mail with the tracking number, applicant name, and applicant passport number.
