US Immigration from Japan

Hi.

We just started the process of getting CR1 visa online with our attorney.

we checked all of the documents and now ready to submit. But this came up to the page.
Does this mean that all notices will be sent to both of us and our attorney ? ( if we don t check any boxes.)
Also is it ok to have the Identity Documents sent only to them? Just in case for some reason My husband is out of town when something like that comes in.

Thank you!

Hi.

We just started the process of getting CR1 visa.

btw we hired an attorney. What I am confused is the email from them about G28 relationship passcode. What is about it??

Hi. I m Japanese citizen living in japan, just starting visa process with the attorney we hired.

we just finished handing questionnaires to them and waiting for the next process or any step because only submitting the questionnaire doesn t mean that the process officially started right? ( we are not recognized by USCIS )

so I wondered how long does it take to start the official process. Then I asked the attorney how long and what is the next step?

but he never answered the questions but how long does normally take the whole process ( which is just general question ) .

i am getting feel like they are not reliable ?
what do you guys think this situation?

Hello Everyone,

I know my question has been asked many times, but there isn t a clear answer. At the same time, I do have some information myself about ITIN without SSN for spouses here with a K-1 visa.

I am trying to file taxes for the recent taxes due and I qualify to file as a married jointly since my marriage took place before the 12/31/2021. Unfortunately, even though we did everything on time to receive a SSN for my spouse, it failed (which is another story) due to SSA office not doing their part.

Anyways, we consulted a couple we know also with a K-1 visa who filed requesting a ITIN which they have told us that it was not only a hassle, but major problems (Still haven t received refunds from 2020 taxes along with verification process to obtain ITIN was insane). My desire is to request an extension, but I am hearing that it s not an extension to put off any amounts due (if you were to file normally before the 04/15 deadline).

Has anyone took this approach to use the extension method and if so, how do you go about paying in advance on the estimate that is due (most likely state owed taxes) while filing for an extension or am I wrong on this part? I ve always filed online myself, and I am planning to see a tax professional, but I know they will push for the ITIN route which I am trying to avoid.

TL:DR The wish is to file an extension, file when spouse receives her SSN prior to the 10/22 extension deadline and file normally without the hassle. Just worried about taxes due by the normal deadline when using the extension method.
