So we already submitted our 1040 with all the other financial documents for the NVC. Problem is, we've just been given an interview date... and I also received a letter from the IRS requiring a correction on our 1040. The correction has been made, and we are about to send it out with the correction, today.

Our interview date is on December 3. Is this likely going to cause an issue? I will make sure to make copies of the 1040, so she can take it to the interview.

My concern, is that with only less than 3 weeks away, what if the correction doesn't get accepted in time? IE Because of mail delay, processing times, etc

Do you meet the minimum even after the correction?  All they are looking for is income.  Current paystubs are more important than tax returns.  Then last years tax return followed by transcripts.  Current income is the main focus.

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!

 

PDOS (Pre-Departure Registration and Orientation Seminar) is for ages 20-59.  Peer Counseling is for 13-19 years of age.

It is required to have the visa in their passport for PDOS and Peer Counseling.

 

GCP (Guidance and Counseling Program) is for K-1 Fiancee and IR/CR-1 spouse ONLY.

No... 

it doesnt affect the income. 

My enrolled agent's tax software recommended that "NRA" Be placed in the spouse name field of the 1040 with the w7 having the name reflect her real name. And that is how we sent it.
We are not sure why the tax software recommends that, but apparently the IRS didn't like it. 

Thanks Drake Tax Software =/

That won't impact anything for the interview.  Just make sure the latest and greatest are with her when she interviews.  I'd be willing to bet that they never even look at the financials during the interview.  The Philippines rarely does.  It is well known that filipinas can live like queens on a paupers budget.  I don't know how they do it but it is truly amazing at how well they handle money!
