Have a look at international tax firms: TFX Greenback Google will show others too.

Joint Sponsor and Consular Officer.

There was no problem. The CO said I needed a JS, dispute spouse having over 125% of the poverty level from income that will continue and also some on a 1099-R. May well of submitted a new I-864 to show assets, but just went with the JS and was approved in 3 days.

We had a similar issue with filing 2555, (definite foreign employer/income). Residual U.S. sourced income was well above the 125% level, (continues in the U.S.), had to get a joint sponsor though.

Thank you. My spouse has a job lined up, but there are no benefits. We do have several months of short term coverage to see us through, as an overlap. Speaking with ACA, coverage would begin April 1st, providing my SS card/number is received ok. I had asked for it to be sent on the DS-260.

The flights part is for my USC Spouse who has been living with me overseas. Is proof of the flight to the U.S enough, (i.e. uploading a boarding pass)? CBP don't date stamp passports anymore, so I wonder how someone can prove they have moved and enrol in Obama care the next day.

So, we leave for Florida next week, after a long process. I wanted to ask of any experiences with Obama Care enrolment. I'm on an IR1 and spouse is a USC, that is 'moving from a foreign country' to the U.S. We will enrol on our first full day in the county. Of course I will not have my SS Card through, so do I just leave that field blank on the application? I can fill in the Immigrant Visa and I-551 information, which I see is verified through the SAVE system. If arriving into the U.S. and then enrolling so soon, going to cause a problem, will they know about my arrival? Is the system in real time, would this have been updated at the POE the day before? Would you likely be asked to upload a photo of the visa and I-551? As for my spouse, (moving from a foreign country to the U.S.). Has anyone experienced this and what evidence if any was required? Do that take you on your word? We fly together and I have the flight confirmation with both our names and seat assignments etc. Thank you

Use the exchange rate effective when payment was received. You may also use the IRS average exchange rate if foreign income is spread over the year. Use the ‘General’ category of income. Pretty much all software, (TaxAct for example) handle this.

Untimely you can file a 1116, (general category) even if you qualify for FEIE. You can only change this election every 5 years. If there is a credit of tax paid, (foreign country has a higher rate), the surplus credit can be carried back for 1 year and forward for 10.

I had the same quandary on my IR1 when I recently booked my flight. I left the visa field empty with the airline, as one of the questions asked for the visa expiration date. I won’t be able to check in online as APIS is incomplete, so it’ll be the old fashioned manual check in with an agent.

There was a time when UK Banks/Building Societies would not allow 'U.S. Persons'. This was all FACTA compliance related, so the vast majority simply decided not to have any 'U.S. Persons', so as to eliminate a compliance headache. In more recent years, the vast majority of banks allow 'U.S. Persons'. You will find that some building societies will not allow, but the majority do.

Just sign up for ACA medical on day one of arrival.

Yes, I was able to do so, visa now in hand. The problem I had was that I had no email confirmation from the embassy, just the ais appointment site with courier confirmation. Ultimately, I didn’t need the embassy email. I expect aid is down for maintenance this morning, I’d try later this afternoon.

@EatBulaga thank you for your reply. I had asked for a SS Card as part of the DS-260 application, and I think it take a couple of weeks to arrive. It will be for Florida, so may have to see if an ID will be issued with out SSN, or I may have to wait for it. Also, with ACA, it would be common for new immigrants to sign up for coverage before their SSN arrives. I guess I’d need to upload it when I have it.

Also will need to report on form 8938 if assets meet the thresholds, along with worldwide income. There are some downsides too.

You could use subject line M99. I would try M11 first and just explain in detail that you have not received any email instructions. Something has gone wrong, as they are very progress in London... I assume you have checked your associated and registered email address is correct with: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv/users/sign_in Also, any messages that may have gone into the 'spam' folder.

Hi, Try this address: Londoninfounit@state.gov THEN: USE THIS SUBJECT LINE: M11 - FULL NAME - REQUESTED DOCUMENT Last Name First Name Immigrant visa case number Date of your interview ATTACH The document that is checked on the 221g sheet you received after your interview. Use a file name that clearly identifies the document you are sending (example Police Certificate -- YOUR LAST NAME) ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES are required to be submitted via the courier service. Please refer to the email you would have received with instruction on using the courier service. Hope this helps.

From what I can gather, you simply cannot get a state ID until you physically have your SS Card to present at the DMV? (Will get a D/L at a later date). Also, we will sign up for ACA as soon as we arrive, me as new Immigrant and spouse as a returning U.S. Citizen that has lived overseas with me for several years, (so moving from a foreign country to the U.S.) Spouse will do this via a phone call to a Navigator, (as has SSN), but I will not have my SS Card through for several weeks. How is this handled by the ACA Navigators, do you have to upload a copy of the SS Card once you have it? As we leave prior to the 15th of the month, I understand that coverage will start at the beginning of the first of the following month. If I don't have my SS Card by then, will coverage start on the 1st? Thank you.

Give it a few days and reach out to them via the Visa Navigator system if you receive no instruction.

Had my case on hold at the NVC for several years. I logged in to CEAC every 10 months, (to be certain) and delved into the payment section as if I were to pay the fess, but never did. I also emailed NVC at the same time and kept all replies. Once we were ready, the fees were paid and progresssed.

It’s odd that there is no email address on the top of the green refusal letter, mine had an LND address to upload W2 etc to. It didn’t have any originals to send in via courier, although the form, (multiple usages) did give instruction on the no cost courier of original docs. Make sure that the birth certificate serial numbers match want you have uploaded and what you physically send in. I had ordered two BC’s and had to be watchful I used just the one and not mixed and matched. I hope they will then ask for the passports to be sent in too, strange they returned it under the circumstances.

It’ll be the W2 that relates to the Tax Return Transcript/Return. I too had a green refusal letter, although I had nothing to courier to the Embassy, only to upload to the email address on the letter. It is disconcerting why the passport was returned for such a minor oversight. The birth certificate, being an original document will need to be couriered though. Good luck.

I had looked at a long term contract for on my UK mobile provider and have just dragged myself off the floor after hearing he cost! Do you have the U.S. Mobile plan? I do see that some of their unlimited plans allow you to call back to the U.K, (landline) with 500 minutes per month usage. I will have some non WhatsApp calls to make to the UK from the US. Thanks

It will be a cause of anxiety to make that one hour window. The medical can go on for a good two hours and it’s a 30 minute taxi trip to the Embassy. You’d need to cram the medical in and be out by 11-30 to get to the Embassy in time. Also if there is a long que and you miss it, then would you need to return for a doc check another day? If you attended your medical in the afternoon, tricky to judge when the doc check would be complete so as to book Visa Medicals. for the Embassy, it’s twice the throughput and wow the place has a mass of appointments as it is. perhaps remote interviews are around the corner…
