    The expiration date of the medical exam drives the expiration date of the issued visa. CBP will be interested in the VISA expiration date, and they cannot alter that visa expiration date. Perhaps the intended message was that the Consulate might issue the visa with less than 6 months until expiration. That is true. Example: My wife's visa expiration date was 5 months after her medical exam.

    Getting a SSN through submission of an I-765 and/or I-485 has always been possible. However, there are advantages to obtaining one as soon as possible. That is why seasoned members of VJ ALWAYS recommend applying BEFORE marriage. See the instructions here :

    To my knowledge, people who submit a proper I-485 are still granted "authorized stay" until the I-485 has been adjudicated.

    Didn't the Ukraine PM recently buy some big property in Turkey?

    We have had a CPA/Tax Pro doing all our tax filings since wife arrived in 2017.

    Yep. This will evolve to "If you are in the US illegally....." I can't imagine the pressure of those who either enter illegally or overstay their visas. Trump and Homan are turning up the heat.

    One option is for US spouse to file as Married Filing Separately....then amend taxes to a joint return after you get a SSN.
  12. Crazy Cat
    If you have a SSN, you can file a joint return and ask to be treated as a resident for tax purposes.

    Trump isn't playing around. The Colombian President just volunteered to be the example Trump needed.

    Who would allow an unlimited number of complete strangers to just enter your home unannounced without permission, to set up housekeeping, and to expect you to pay for their food, lodging, health care, clothes, etc.? The homeowner is then in competition with the intruder for use of the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. It just doesn't make sense to allow illegals to stay, imho. Do they not compete with citizens and legal residents for jobs, groceries, emergency rooms, etc? Looks like the question "when is enough....enough ?" has been answered by the 2024 election. Common sense has returned.

    In what country do you live?

    How much time have you spent together (actually)? Yes, that will be important to the final outcome.
  20. Crazy Cat
    Stop listening to that source. There is no requirement for that.

    Do you have bank accounts and/or assets outside the US? If so, you possible need to file an FBAR with the Department of the Treasury. Then, filing jointly certainly makes sense.

    You can, yes....but should you? Even if you didn't have a Green Card, you could choose to be treated as a tax resident for the full year.

    There are many variables which determine if: 1. If You could file as a non-resident and a resident (dual status alien) 2. If You SHOULD file as a dual status resident. Variables include: Do you pass the substantial presence test? how much income the new resident earned prior to coming to the US, foreign income exclusions, tax agreements between the US and new immigrant's home country, FBAR, etc. Having said all that I always advise new immigrants to seek the help of a good tax pro the 1st year in the US.
