  5. if every CR1 / IR1 petition with Casa was on this site and completed a profile on their page, it would be easy for the creators to compile a chart and answer this question BUT they are not and most dealing with Casa do not create a profile so the best way for you to find out is to hit the word portal above and check the members who have recently completed the process
  6. there will be a full list provided by the embassy and can be seen here under guides or at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/nonimmigrant-visa-for-a-fiance-k-1.html the lawyer will not know what questions the CO is going to ask or how much the bene knows about the USC $1500 is a lot to pay when the list is free from the above immigration site
  7. Benin is on Trump's probationary list meaning the country is suppose to address concerns regarding security and vetting process news media in that country should be closely following what the Benin government is doing to comply so the bene in this case should know more than any USC here right now the ban is only proposed but any country on either of the 3 lists is aware and able to start working towards the best outcome for their citizens

  9. Only that your interview date is April 11 and court date is July If a visa is approved and issued , it will expire 6 months from date of medical exam that cuts it close
  10. why would you want to file for an extension? you still have time to file by the 15th Most who want an extension, owe taxes and that is costly with the interest and penalties added on from the 15th April till taxes are paid in full Many think this gives them extra time but it is costly (very costly) Plus If you owe tax and don't file on time (with extensions), there's also a penalty for not filing on time. The failure-to-file penalty is usually five percent of the tax owed for each month, or part of a month that your return is late, up to a maximum of 25%. If your return is over 60 days late, there's also a minimum penalty for late filing; it's the lesser of $510 (for tax returns required to be filed in 2025) or 100 percent of the tax owed. See Topic no. 304 for information about extensions of time to file if you can't file on time https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc653 just get online with her info and file you are able to file as MFJ or MFS her foreign income is reported on form 2555 and you can exclude income up to the 2024 amount For tax year 2024, the maximum exclusion is $126,500 per person.

Together, they can exclude as much as $253,000 for the 2024 tax year.
  11. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/the-taxation-of-foreign-pension-and-annuity-distributions With respect to government pensions/public pensions/annuities (typically covered under the Government Service article) or social security payments, generally the payments are only taxable by the country in which the government is making the payments. Note that what constitutes a government pension or public pension is dictated by the treaty, and the rule may apply narrowly. If paying on pension in UK , then report the pension on form 2555 for the yearly exclusion If not taxed in UK , then , yes need to pay US taxes BUT read the above site from IRS to understand
  12. Traffic accident with no ticket is not a criminal case/ if the person says she is suffering from the accident , she must file a civil suit and even then, this is not criminal just for information for the future , call and report all accidents and get a report written and for this case the person would need to show dr appointments and treatment she has gone thru
