MFJ or MFS either one MFJ you need to follow IRS site for ITIN for non resident alien spouse its worth MFJ as it means an extra $12950 deduction but this is your choice Single; Married Filing Separately $12,950 Married Filing Jointly & Surviving Spouses $25,900 https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse and tax returns for 2022 were due last April unless u did an extension till October (15 th is on Sunday so they would be due 16th)

you are trying to get a copy of an RFE to inquire , you need the correct receipt # , name of the bene and u should include DOB's for both of u the notice says that the case # u gave is for someone else

Traffic tickets are not criminal unless alcohol and/or drugs are involved u report offenses that result in arrest and/or conviction

your man can apply (he needs to not u and u should not pay the fee as CO will probably ask "who paid the fee") Some embassies have a long wait time for tourist visa interview but Sierra Leone is only 8 days So do it and pray for success https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html Freetown Nonimmigrant Visa Type Appointment Wait Time Interview Required Students/Exchange Visitors (F, M, J) 23 Calendar Days Interview Required Petition-Based Temporary Workers (H, L, O, P, Q) 8 Calendar Days Interview Required Crew and Transit (C, D, C1/D) 8 Calendar Days Interview Required Visitors (B1/B2) 8 Calendar Days

Uncle can not petition for him And my comments are not just my opinion i have quoted USCIS on sevetal of your issues https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/A1en.pdf Which relatives may I petition for? A U.S. citizen who is at least 21 years or older may also petition for the following relatives: Parents; • Brothers or sisters. When you submit your petition, you are required to provide evidence to prove your relationship to the person for whom you are filing you plan for him to meet u and family and marry (according to your posts ) and then apply for K1 u will be too married for a K 1 and K3 is oudated / its a CR1 spouse visa u need if married AND many visits to see each other for visa

No, if they want to travel together, its yes

If they come together, it is yes to 1st question

they will have to take passport style to interview / those must be recent (within 6 months , i believe but could be wrong) they will use the most recent photos

read thru the following from someone trying to get a visa without meeting this follows the petition and appeal for denial this was truly a hardship case as petitioner was blind with other issues this might help understand immigration doesn't care -sounds harsh but its what i see (my opinion only about the not caring) https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/D6 - Fiancees and Fiances of U.S. Citizen (K-1)/Decisions_Issued_in_2021/JUN112021

He can apply for tourist visa /we say chances he will get one are low the fees are expected to go up from $160 to $185 sometime this year i will add to your prayers for his success Understand a few things If he gets the tourist visa ,u still have to meet several times and with each trip to the US , he will be under high security briefing at POE And he should not bring any documents like a birth certificate, resume , etc./ documents that would make CBP think he intended to stay and AOS here ALL of us here understand love and immigration and really do wish u the best but African embassies make it so hard to get visas. so, good luck

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee this site tells u how and what site to pull up to pay it Congratulations and weicome to the USA

OP has signed out of VJ and sorry, but OP , to get any US K1 or CR1 (there is no K3) u will have to meet several times for Sierra Leona i made 5 trips all over a month my gf made 15 and they were married 7 years and just got her IR1 visa Africa is hard

Yes, but its easier to get one than the B1/B2 for here

From USCIS site (The letter will hurt his chances / i will say it over and over as it means he is coming to visit a GF and to embassy is a sign he intends to stay and AOS here ) Note: Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant's residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a visitor visa. If you choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember it is not one of the factors used in determining whether to issue or deny the visa. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html

He is from Africa /same as my husband/ his chances to get a tourist visa, especially to see his gf , are slim to none your letter hurts his chances and u will need to meet and spend quality time to get any K1 or CR1 visa try the B1/B2 tourist and let us know if you are successful as what we all see is denials for most Aftricans to come to meet gf or fiancee here in the USA good luck and u can prove me wrong/ doesn't offend me just understand , its not what we have seen to be successful

1st a letter of invitation from u for him to get a tourist visa would hurt his chances to get the visa 2nd he needs to satisfy the CO at interview that he will return to Sierra Leone helps to show he owns property has a job has money to afford the trip he would have to be honest when the CO asks Why he wants to visit and when he says to visit my gf , he will more than likely "be denied" So we should just apply for the k1 visa and close our eyes with fingers crossed??????? This means what? You have to meet in person to apply HIm coming here on tourist visa would look like he is coming to marry here and adjust his status and that is fraud to plan so it does not help your cause u need to get the medicine u need to go to Africa and have it in prescription bottles in baggies for the trip

You can petition separately but still the instructions which say in general instructions : 3. Answer all questions fully and accurately https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129finstr.pdf Item Numbers 39. - 44.h. Children of Beneficiary. Indicate whether your beneficiary has any children. If you answered “Yes,” provide information about each child of your beneficiary. Include the child’s full name, country of birth, and date of birth. If the child resides at a different address than your beneficiary, provide the address where the child currently resides. If your beneficiary has more than one child, use Part 8. Additional Information to respond to Item Numbers 40.a. - 44.h. for each child. The important part of the instructions are NOTE: A child (unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a K-1 or K-3 nonimmigrant may apply for a nonimmigrant visa to accompany or follow-to-join the K-1 or K-3 parent. You do not need to file a separate petition to classify the child as a K nonimmigrant. Children of K-1s are classified as K-2 nonimmigrants, BUT the 18 year old was not listed in the original petition

yes, new I 130 but expect issues as u r suppose to disclose all children (of both parties ) on the petition and ds forms I even had to list mine that were in the late 20's and were USC with kids of their own Hacking law and issue of not listing a child https://hackinglawpractice.com/forgot-to-mention-kid-to-uscis/

yes, its the best kind of sign allah yekbel (sorry my arabic is moroccan) but allah grant your wishes

its under the guides above tap down to immigration guides and follow for sibling// its all there

so the daughter was not listed on the petition or ds 160?

because they do not have a US passport I continue to use US passport for my ID till next year when i renew DL but my gf only uses her tribal ID as it's federal accepted other forms of ID that TSA uses are on following site https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

incha allah praying for the 2 of u

Real ID (if u do not have other ID's that are accepted) is not required till May 7 , 2025 other forms are listed on following site and they include things like tribal ID as it is federally accepted https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification
