What tax forms to send instead of transcripts?

My husband is currently in Canada with me and we just got our notice from NVC that our case has been approved at USCIS earlier than we expected. Now We are trying to figure out his tax information and the issue we're having is that he can't even make an account on the IRS website because they require an account number from a credit card, student or bank loan, mortgage, etc., none of which he has, as he has tried to stay out of debt. So we cannot even make him an account, which is extremely frustrating, as another person has pointed out, there is no secondary option for mail-in or anything. As far as we can tell the only option we have is to just submit his tax returns and hope they accept them.

Now the issue is, we aren't sure which forms we should include. My husband isn't super savvy with paperwork, so that's my domain, but I don't understand American tax returns. Here's my question:

When it says to submit a 1040, does that just mean the one page? or does it mean all 5, 10 or 20 pages in his one-year return? Two of his returns are 75 pages long from Turbotax.... I can't imagine they would want all of those pages of nonsense, but we don't want to submit the wrong papers. We have his w2's, which we will also submit, but then it also says to submit any schedules or other evidences of income. My husband says he doesn't think he has any, since he has only had one employer and source of income for the past 3 or so years.

Can anyone explain to me in the simplest terms possible what exact forms we should scan and send into NVC? I'm also assuming I'd be required to bring any and all of these forms with me to my interview.

I-130a Spouse has never met birth father

Hello,

I am filing out the I-130 for my spouse, her biological father abandoned her mother when he found out she was pregnant. My spouse has never met her biological father and her only tie to him is that his name is listed on her birth certificate. Her stepfather raised her from shortly after birth and her entire life he has always been referred to simply as her father. Because her biologic father is listed on the birth certificate should I list him on the I-130a in the "Information about Parent 2" section instead of her stepfather? For the biological father for all unknown information should I leave it blank or should I put "unknown"? Also should I list her step father on the additional information pages?

Thanks!

DCF immigration firm cost and selection

Hello,

I am a US citizen on a NAFTA work permit in Canada. My wife is Canadian, we have no kids and we are planning to relocate to the US. As a nurse who has ICU experience I am hoping to be able to use the new job offer and critically ill family members (6-12 month prognosis for my father) exceptional circumstances to attempt to expedite the process and use DCF. But before actively seeking out employment opportunities (which honestly I anticipate taking 2-4 weeks because of the current COVID situation) I have been reaching out to various immigration attorneys to get a pulse on approximate costs. Most firms will refuse to provide me a quote unless I pay 2-500 dollars for an hour long consultation. One that did provide me a quote was 6k CAD in addition all associated fees. Anyone with experience using an immigration attorney, how much does it typically cost?

Also we are based in Ottawa, with Montreal handling most of the requests would it be better to go for a firm specializing in US immigration in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto (just because it is a large city) or some place like Buffalo because they deal with a lot of US/CA immigration issues?

Thanks for your time.

i-797 Rejection Notice w/ k1 Visa - HELP PLEASE!

So I got the standard rejection notice, I attached it to this post. I have gone through this and I believed I submitted EVERYTHING. We have a copy of our NOA approval, his visa from his passport and an original Marriage Certificate that shows we got married within the 90 days. The only issue is that we filed after the 90 days. Could that be the issue? Do they want me to file an i-130 now? I also attached a photo of my NOA for reference. Is this the correct NOA? Also, I did research when we were filing it out and saw people saying that K-1 visa applicants don't have an A-number so I left that blank. Now that I'm looking at my NOA again, is that the number next to the beneficiary?

We filed a i-485, i-944, i-846 & i-485 and yes, I put the correct designation in i-485 Part 2 -> C.

Please help, I've looked this thing over front, back... every which way and I can not figure it out. I saw on another post that someone suggested making an appointment but I doubt they're letting people do that during this pandemic. For reference, I am an American born citizen and my husband is a Canadian Citizen. We live in California. I really appreciate everyone because this process is INSANE!!! Thank you all!!

Applying for citizenship on USCIS website?!

Hey Visa Journey!!

With the uncertainty of how things are currently going I've decided to start the process to apply for my U.S. citizenship. I'm a bit stuck when it comes to the amount of evidence to upload on the website. For eg. how far back and how many pages of joint back statements should I submit? Are there specific pages of my taxes that I should submit? I figured because I'm filing online I don't need to upload every page of specific documents. Has anyone had any experience with filing form N-400 online? Any advice would be great thanks!!
