US Immigration from Canada

Hi all,

I'm currently in the process for getting a CR1, immigrating from Canada to America. I asked my lawyer about the G-1145 form and if we could send one in because i would like text/email notifications about the visa progress. She said it's not a form for electronic visa progress notifications, it's for paying government fees with a credit card. But online it clearly shows it's for notifications....So my question is, what is the G-1145? She mentioned that I get instructions for electronic notifications in the mail along with the receipt number, which i haven't gotten yet and we filed January 10th.

Hi all, just... confused about how to file.

My wife came on a K-1 and we married in May 2019 (which is reflected on my W2). Until then, she was working in Canada, and has no US income for 2019.

If I understand correctly...

1. she is considered a dual status resident alien despite not having her green card yet, and we should file MFJ

2. she doesn't need an ITIN, as she has an SSN

3. she does need to provide her 2019 Canadian tax forms, although she would not owe taxes on them

Do I have all this right?

Hey all!

So, maybe someone on here will be able to help me because I am soooooo lost.

Key points :

- I am Self-Employed, mostly selling custom goods online ( i made more than 15k US dollars in 2019 )
- I was living in Canada ( minus my trips in the US since 2017 as TOURIST ) until I entered the US the 26th December 2019 with my K1 Visa, got married the 27th. ( quicker the better, eh? ).
- All my income was made in Canada ( I did not sell anything since the 26th ).

Main question :

- Do I file my Taxes of 2019 for Canada?
- Do I file my Taxes of 2019 for the USA?
- Both?????

- Do I file them alone? Do I file them with my spouse? ( he got the main income job, own the house, etc. )

I received my SSN today and am planning sending my Adjustment of Status ( i-485) + Employment authorization later this week.

I read the pinned post, but it's still all blurry to me, I really need someone to enlighten me.

I tried finding tax expert online, but they all need to be paid for tax filing before asking questions, and so far i don't even know for which country i need to file so... I can't.

S.o.S.

Thanks in advance for anyone who will be able to guide me.
( I wanted to call the IRS and/or Canada Tax, but they both are in super long phone wait time, especially that most of the Canadian ones are flickering between open/closed due to extreme weather ( notice on the govt website )).

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am still considered a Canadian resident because I still have a leased car under my name. Hoping to get rid of it by this year. It s been tough. It s my first year filing taxes here in the US with my husband. How did my fellow Canadians file their taxes as a US permanent resident and Canadian Resident?

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what should I pick on number 14? I already got my SSN so should I choose "No" or leave it blank?
