I don't quite remember, but I was able to proceed properly and get documentarily qualified!

Any updates on your end mate. We just submitted IV on 08Feb24 and AOS on 10Feb24

Thank you so much, the answer I was looking for was the BIR Form 2316. I plan for her to arrive first, get an SSN, then ammend with the 1040X / 2555 from an immigration tax specialist

I know 1040X required from US side.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has gone through the process of amending tax returns from single to MFJ. I was married in Sep 2022 but my tax preparer had us file as single for 2022 and 2023. For those who have ammended from single to MFJ, what documents did you need from your spouse. More specifically, my spouse is Filipina and it sounds like the employers file taxes on behalf of employees, so she doesn't know how or which documents to get. Has anyone gone through the process of amending with their Filipina spouse and can provide guidance?

Whoops meant DS-261, Online Choice of Agent. I don't have an attorney, no

I'm asking about the DS-260, Online Choice of Agent. The guidance suggested it was to be done before paying fees

Hello, I'm a U.S. Citizen applying for an overseas Filipina spouse; our standalone i-130 was approved 14Dec23 and I just paid fees 03Jan24. As I was looking through the DS-260, I noticed there's an option to answer "Yes" to these last two questions to get an SSN, but I've also read some stories of people having to go in person anyways. What do folks recommend to get an SSN ASAP so that she may begin work and we can ammend taxes.

Hi all, Two questions: 1. I'm a U.S. Citizen that got their i-130 approved for their Overseas Spouse on 11Dec23, and a welcome leter 03Jan24. I paid the fees same day, but can't access the choice of agent to do DS-261? I've been reading DS-261 is meant to be done first, so is it locked out because I paid the AOS and IV fees? Is it meant to be done after, or will there be any issues? 2. Since it's a new year, should I make haste to get my taxes done (still waiting on forms from work & school)?

It looks like folks that had it routed Dec 14th and earlier got their welcome letter, but I'm still waiting for mine (also routed Dec 14th). Maybe there is a slowdown due to holidays. Also not sure how in order they go

Ah I see I'm still waiting. Was it an email to the petitioner or benefactor?
