US Immigration from Netherlands

Hi everyone,

I ve never wrote here before but I m not new to the forum.

I m currently in the K1 process and received the approval letter from USCIS. The letter says that my case is now at the NVC and that if I didn t hear from them within 30 days I had to email them. I did, but I haven t heard back from them yet. Does anyone know how long this process could take? And what the next steps will be.

I ve been apart from my fianc for a year now and it s killing me. I understand that there s a lot more people in this situation and especially due to COVID I need patience, but we started the process in March last year, and I m just curious when we could be able to see each other again.

Thanks so much!

Hi, I am hoping you can help answer some of these questions! First time filing taxes in the US and this is confusing!!

I entered the US as a resident alien in July 2020 (received SSN in August). My partner (citizen) and I (GC holder) want to file jointly. The first half of 2020, my partner and I both lived in the Netherlands. Based on this situation, I have a few questions:

1) I assume I need to fill out the regular forms? (i.e. not the non-resident alien form)

2) Do I need to establish my status as a permanent resident/immigrant status or my date of immigration on any of the forms?

3) What does this mean for claiming stimulus checks? Based on our 2020 income, we should have been eligible for the second payment, but never received it. We should also qualify for the third installment.

Thanks!!!

Hey there

I'm trying to file taxes with my husband for the first time. I just got my EAD and social security card. However, Turbotax keeps rejecting it, saying that I'm not in the IRS's records. Here's my situation:

- We got married in May 2020
- I am currently unemployed and haven't worked a single day in my country of birth in 2020
- I have filed taxes in my country of birth before, but not for 2020, as I didn't have any income and have been in the US since early March 2020
- I have a foreign bank account and credit card, both with no money in it

Will filing taxes via mail change anything? Am I doing something wrong? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to filing taxes and don't understand a lot of tax-related terms so any help would be appreciated...

Hello,

I moved here over a year ago (USA, AZ). I have a good income and creditscore. However, I tried to get pre approved by a lender to buy a home, but since I only have 1 ww2 for now, they said they don't want to go forward. The lender said they need 2 w2's. Is this true? I'm very dissapointed. Is there another way or do I really have to wait another year? Home prices are sky rocketing so I don't want to wait too much longer. My wife currently doesn't have a job, so I'm the main bread winner and really want to buy a home (not cash, and not 20% down).

Thanks for you help

In September 2020 I sent out all my AOS documents to change my K1 status. I also applied for an EAD and AP and requested a SSN through the USCIS. The original plan was to apply for a SSN 2 weeks after my arrival in the US on 02/27/2020, but then COVID happened and all offices were shut down.

It's been quite some time now and so far there's no progress in my case. By now I'd love to up open a bank account, start working on my credit, get my drivers license and pay taxes together with my husband.

So here is my question: can I apply for a SSN locally so I can get it faster or do I have to wait for the USCIS to provide me a SSN since I already applied for it with them.

Thanks in advance!
