US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused regarding my FBAR requirements for 2019.

Here's my situation:

- Married to USC

- Green card holder (IR1 stamped in February 2020)

- Lived abroad with my wife for the last couple of years before our move to the US in February 2020

My question is related to filing the FBAR for 2019. As I wasn't a permanent resident yet in 2019 (entered the US in February 2020 and IR1 stamped then), am I right to assume that I shouldn't file the FBAR for that year?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused regarding filing taxes for 2019.

Here's my situation:

- Married to USC

- Green card holder (IR1 stamped in February 2020)

- Lived abroad with my wife for the last couple of years and she filed her taxes as married filing separately

My question is related to filing for 2019. As I wasn't a permanent resident yet in 2019, am I right to assume that I shouldn't file? Can my wife file as "married filing jointly"?

Thanks a lot in advance!

My husband and I have spent hours trying to fill out this form online. It has given us an error page, or messed up when we try to save it, or just popped off. Does anybody have any experience with this? Can we just fill it out on paper and send it in? If so, where do we find the address? Our papers are currently sitting at NVC. Thanks!

Hi guys,

Question regarding point 25 of Part 6 of the I864.

In point 24 (income) my petitioner has stated her most recent year's (2019) income. In year 2 and 3 she wrote N/A because she was not employed.

Question 25 "i was not required to file a income tax return because income level was below IRS level........"

We have left this blank because she has filed the return (sent to IRS no transcript yet) and attached her W2. We think this question is for year 1 and not 2 and 3. she is uploading her employment letter and pay stubs and attaching a letter explaining why there was no return/income for last 2 years.

Does this seem alright?

Hi,

I know police certificate for Pakistan is not required. The state department site states as much and there's a few topics on here that confirm this.

But the CEAC still shows it as one of the required documents, i guess I should just leave it empty and add a comment or something that it is not required as per State department's own instructions?

What do people generally do here?
