I got married in Feb 2004. When I file my tax return for 2004, I told the accountant that I am married in Pakistan, but my wife is not here/has never been here and obviously, she does not have SSN. he said that for IRS purposes, your are Single, so I filed as an single. I also met with another accountant just to verify and he said the same thing. For 2005 and 2006, I had another (new) accountant and she told me that it's up to me to file either Single or Married filing separately. To make a long story short, I have been filing single. Now, I was just reading on the forum somewhere that I should have filed "Married filing separately".

I got married in January 2004 and have always filed single as thats what my cousins who run Liberty tax advised me to do and didn't have any problems at the embassy or in my paper work.

I applied for my citizenship in Oct 2004 and put married on it, my cert says says I am married as well - again had no problems with that

Also, I applied for citizenship after my marriage and I put it "married" in my N-400 application and my Naturalization Certificate also says "Married"...again no problem.

My whole concern (I am very worried), as u know, is that is it going to be a problem when she has her interview. Do I need to amend my Tax returns?? and do I need to get an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for my wife from IRS.

ITIN is for people who are in the US

Thanks Khurram!!!!

You are very welcome

Hello all

Has anyone had their wife get approved for K-3 and lives in Karachi area? I was wondering how my wife will be notified to get her passport at AMX (Shaheen Complex), or do they deliver it to her home?

My wife lives in Karachi but we are on AP

My wife told me that her friend got a call from AMEX to come pick it up at Shaheen Complex

Another question. I heard about some getting a sealed envelope to bring to the us with them. What's the deal with that? Does everyone get it, and what's in it?

The visa is given along with a sealed envelope of documents which must be given to the USCIS (INS) officer when entering the US. The visa must be used within 6 months of being issued.

Question for those who have been through AOS

In part 3A of I-485, what is the visa number? is that the control number or the number thats typed at the bottom right corner of the visa.?

Thanks.

you know it

So, according to that its already been a lil more than a week since the clearance was done. How long should be wait before calling Isl embassy? Andddd ... when should we expect our passport to arrive? We are soooo excited and scared at the same time, hoping keh we DO get our visa soon!

Hello everyone!

wrong..........NavarreMan

Actually my fiance had an enormously stressful time making it to his interview from Afghanistan. He was hitting all kinds of police blocks, etc so he missed his medical exam and lost his police certificates en route. At the interview they just told him he would have to provide these things before the visa is issued. That's the story KS.

Oh Ok, Thanks for the reply

Congratulations everyone!!!

Hearing all these good news, maybe its time to contact Islamabad!.... Which email should I use to contact Islamabad for getting updates?
