she will probably be in long AP just as this in Pakistan and ds 5535 can be given out for any country anytime but for the 3 countries she is associated with , its a high probability so maybe, maybe not

in all honesty if 100 of us got together to propose a petition to make Congress act on the problems, we would have 100 different ideas on what they should do the rules are transparent /they and any changes are posted online in the Federal Registry One thing that does bother me is CO's are suppose to treat people with respect at an interview and they often don't

Coming from one VJ member that went thru a 6 year process i can honestly say it seems unfair but then reading about all kinds of schemes from fake colleges doing student visas and dating scams to get people here plus 9/11, human trafficing, it is no wonder this process is long it is meant to protect both the USC and the alien And fees will change /they are set to change soon $1225 for AOS to $2820 And if u can get Congress to do anything, i will give u a lot of credit i write to my repres all the time and i get the monthly bulletins from their office to check on what is important to each one and what they vote on

Actually they use to use state offices the intending immigrant would come to US and be interviewed here (to see if they could stay) but that bought in many who didn't qualify to stay and disappeared in the illegal community of which we now have over 11 million and with the 1st attack on the world trade center with a bomb it was evident that we needed stronger security checks in the immigrants home country(s)

Congratulations

if u create a timeline on your profile and post the flag for Nigeria, your posts will show up in the Nigeria portal and u will then get responses from Nigerians /i believe they have a whatsapp group too Good luck to u

if u worked outside the US as a USC u r required to file taxes bring up a 1040 form on IRS site and follow instructions file the form 2555 to exclude foreign earned income for the yearly amounts (this amount changes each year ) For tax year2022, the maximum exclusion is $112,000 per person

keep track of final action dates on the monthly visa bulletin to see when a visa is available for u are they limit the # of visas for this category https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2023/visa-bulletin-for-april-2023.html At present they work on 2008 F2A 08SEP20

u didn't work in US but if u worked outside the US, u need to file US tax returns and u r way ahead of the process u will file the I 130(s) with proper documentation of marriage , birth etc and when u get to NVC stage in about a year, u will file a I 864 with tax returns (or letter from IRS saying there is no returns filed according to their directions) your joint sponsor will file I 864 with tax returns and other needed info

people that have issues such as u describe also take the anger out on children and house pets you need to report each time to protect not only u but the kids(or a neighbor or teacher will ) I would see a lawyer /get her into anger management but keep a notebook of each temper tantrum and take photos of things she destroys best to protect yourself or this will come back to bite u

allah yessir hope u hear soon but Casa is slow to finish cases

allah yekbel

Did they have your wife do 2nd medical exam? Casa seems to give most a hard time we have a friend now married 7 years and waiting for decision 11/2 years and the USC wife was working for immigration when he interviewed

did you send I 864 along with W2's and tax returns? did the embassy keep the passport? did the joint sponsor do taxes as MFJ and if so, do I 864 a for the spouse with their W2(s)?

If, at the end of your tax year, you are married and one spouse is a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 7701(b)(1)(A) and the other is not, you can choose to treat the nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident for tax purposes. This includes situations in which one of you was not a U.S. resident at the beginning of the tax year but was at the end of the year, and the other was not a U.S. resident at the end of the year. If you and your spouse do not choose to treat the nonresident spouse as a U.S. resident, you may be able to use head of household filing status. To use this status, you must pay more than half the cost of maintaining a household for certain dependents or relatives other than your nonresident spouse. For more information, see Head of Household and Publication 501, Dependents, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information.

she does not have to be here 6 months i filed for Adil in 2010 and all the years after till he came in 2015 but i did ITIN (its worth it as you loose thousands if u don't ) and it will be about 2 years before she comes so we are talking 12,900 +12,900 =12,900 theres a big difference between $12,950 for filers, $25,900 for joint and you have to file as married as u are married at end of 2022 so its MFJ or MFS IRS instructions for non resident alien spouse don't use that CPA as they don't know the business https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-spouse
