US Immigration from Lebanon

Hi all,

My Fianc received form DS5535 the day of his interview. It s been one month now and we ve heard nothing from the embassy. Has anyone recently gone through the same situation? How long did it take to be cleared?

I am filing this application online and reached this point:

<<If the beneficiary's native written language does not use Roman letters, upload a document with his or her name and foreign address in their native written language. If you have a text or word processing document you would like to submit for evidence, send us a PDF version of the file. When saving your file, select PDF as the file type to save.>>

What sort of a document with an address would you upload? Can it be a simple letter showing the address and her name? or it has to be an official document?

I'm just wondering if I can get my wife an ITIN while being abroad. She has never been in the USA before and currently, in the middle of immigration process. I just talked to IRS acceptance agent who told me that my wife can not get an ITIN since she is not currently in the USA.

I don't know what is the right way to file taxes this year. I just wanted to get the benefit of being married " more deduction " if I file MFJ.

I have seen other opinion to file separately and amend when she is here. if I do so when I amend 2020 tax return would I get refunded whatever amount that I would save if I file MFJ in the first place.

Your comments and feedback would be highly appreciated, thank you
