US Immigration from Spain

Hi guys,

I need some advice: I have been working while I do my masters and this is the first time I have filed taxes in the US. I sent them by mail in April (online is only for residents apparently) but due to COVID, IRS says that they are not processing tax returns.

So basically I did not get a refund yet and IRS still has not my information, I don't exist for them. For this reason I cannot get IRS transcripts that form I-944 requires.

What should I do?

1) Indicate in the form I-944 that this year I did not fill taxes? I did but they did not process them yet so technically still not filled.

2) Send a copy of my 1040NR, together with W-2, paystubs, contracts, etc? To show that I am working and I filled taxes this year.

3) Should I write a letter explaining that I was unable to get the transcripts due to covid? Or better not to mention anything and see if what I provide is enough?

Honestly I don't want to lose more time waiting for IRS to start again processing paper returns, this pandemic is gonna last.

Thoughts? It is the only thing I am missing from that form.

Hi,

We have a question for the I-130. I am currently in the US with a F1 visa, and we are filling concurrently I-130 with I-485, so in the form I-130, page 8, there is a item that says: "The beneficiary is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident at the USCIS office in..."

So, I am living in Arlington, Virginia, which is just 10 minutes away from Washington, DC. What office I should write there? I'm not pretty sure about this point.

I wrote Washington, DC. Should I leave it like that?

Hi guys,

This is a question that has been frequently asked recently in VJ but still not clear, and I want to know what did you guys do adjusting from a student visa.

The question is about the liabilities in form I-944, page 6, part 3. It says: provide a list of your liabilities... so the question is: should I state my wife's debts (mortgage mainly) as well?. I don't have any debts so I feel like the form is not asking for me and my household member... in this case it just say "your". What did you guys do?

I think that because the I-944 is to show that we're going to be Self-Sufficiency" in the future , I should be talking about my debts only... that's what I understand, but it's not clear at all.

Thoughts?

Guys,

Does anyone know anything about this? My Fiance bought tickets to travel to the US (the ticket is for an August 5th 2020 arrival), and had no problem doing so. I didn't know that Europeans had to get an ETSA, so when I found out, I went to the link (https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta?fbclid=IwAR26uS6S_dH8eg-uBayMcyfWdul-PLnz2gVT210C1njXAcGbc66EU9uAn0k) and it warned that the presidential proclamations for incoming peoples were still in effect.

I can travel to Europe finally, so why can't Europeans travel here yet? Does anyone have information on this?

Thank you in advance,

Good morning everyone.

So I got admitted into a masters in the US and I was supposed to begin in person classes in August, however embassies are still closed so my school is looking for alternative solutions as I will not be able to join them for fall 2020 (meaning I will have to wait and join them in person for spring 2021 in January, there is no in between).

The problem is that I got selected for the DV 2021; for some time I did consider getting the DV but in the light of recent political events and given it is a very complicated situation right now, I have been thinking about it and I am reconsidering and going for the safest option (and the option I worked really hard for, I do not want to waste that).

However, I was told that because I got selected in the DV lottery and my case number is really low, I will have a hard time overcoming the assumption that I will have immigrant intent and adjust my status as soon as I am there... Is there anything I can do about this? Is all hope now lost to get an F1 or is there something I can do to overcome that assumption?

PS: I will not be looking to adjust status, but honestly I worked long and hard to get admitted into this masters, I have been excited about it for quite some time and I even got an Assistantship to cover the costs... It is not an opportunity I would like to pass on.

Thank you all for your help
