Thank you for your input. That is reassuring.

Hi guys, I couldn’t find a answer for this anywhere so I thought I’ll ask here so it can benefit me and anyone else who will have the same question. For privacy, I’ll use Facebook as example. So my employer used to be known as FACEBOOK INC, but since last year they changed their name to META. The problem is the W2s still mention them as FACEBOOK but the Proof of Employment letter and Pay Stubs mentions META, the new company name... When uploading the document to CEAC, I’ve put comments to explain that. However in the form I-864, where it asks for my employer name, should I put “FACEBOOK” or “META”, or even “META formerly FACEBOOK” ? I’m torn here…

Got it, that makes sense. Thanks

Hello, This might be a stupid question, but I had to ask since I want to make things the right way. I'm currently filling form DS-260 for my spouse. She is from a French speaking country, and over there the capital, Abidjan, has many municipalities such as Abobo, Plateau, Yopougon, etc... On most adminsitrative documents like Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, and even Passport, the municipality is mentioned instead of the city of Abidjan itself. When the form asks for City of Birth I get confused because I'm not sure if I should put Abidjan, or the municipality where she was born, Abobo. Thoughts ?

Sorry I'm reviving a old thread here. How did the NVC process and interview go ? Was the file single tax a problem ?

Do you think that I should wait for my spouse ITIN which might come end of March, then amend the 2021 return before I submit the Affidavit of Support and other documents to NVC ? Current processing times for NVC is like 19 days after document submissions. I'm thinking I apply now with what I got, then if they dont DQ our case because of the 2021 Single filling, I then amend and resubmit ? I'm thinking of taking a chance and doing that, instead of just wasting a month waiting for my spouse ITIN to be ready...

Oh man, I told the HR Block tax preparer that I was married, and she said because my wife does not have a SSN yet we couldn't file married so I had to file single pfff. I'm definitely going to amend this, but now I wonder if I should do that before submitting the AOS.

You're right, I might have done a mistake while filling the 2021 taxes 😲 Because I supposed the 2021 taxes were filed sometimes in 2022 right ? Whoah, is that going to be an issue ?

No no, I married in July 2021 but filed the 2021 taxes probably 2 months before that.

Oh yeah, makes sense. So I’ll submit tax return transcripts for 2020, 2021 and and “simple” tax return for 2022. Along with all the relevant W2s, 1099, pay stubs and letter of employment.

Got it. Should I wait for the 2022 Tax Return ?

Hello guys, Hoping that you're doing well. Can you please help me with some doubts that I have regarding Form I-864 ? I am a LPR who entered the country end of December 2019. I have filled and paid taxes for the years 2020, 2021. 2020 filed single because I was not married. 2021 filed single because I was not married. Got married in July 2021, petitioned for my wife on September 2021 I-130 approved in Feb 2023, NVC sent welcome email Feb 2023. 2022 taxes filed married filling jointly by applying for ITIN for my spouse using Form W7. And this usually takes longer, usually 7 weeks as per the IRS, that's almost 2 months. I filed the 2022 taxes on 31 Jan 2023, so I'm guessing the processing will be done by end of March. I can currently provide the tax return transcripts for 2020, 2021, and pay stubs and a proof of employment document. My question is, should I wait for this tax return to be process before I submit the AOS ? Another doubt I have is, I thought tax return transcripts were better than income tax returns, because they encompass everything and with tax return transcripts you don't need to add accompanying W2 or 1099. But the instruction for Form I-864 says That is confusing me, should I submit Tax Return Transcripts or simple Tax Returns ?? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks 🙏
