Greetings,
I am a USC, currently waiting on I-130 approval for my Pakistani bride. We are not at the NVC stage yet. I went to file my taxes and the only option H&R Block would give me is to file as single. Since the wife does not currently have an SSN, is unemployed, and resides overseas. I do not have or plan to get an ITIN for her.
My question is that would filing single while married to an overseas spouse cause problems at the NVC?
Do I have to file an amendment immediately and have it ready by the time NVC requires it?
Can I send this amendment after she finally arrives in USA and get an SSN?
Has anybody here ever had a problem with the NVC process due to this filing as single, instead of Married filing separately or Head of household?
Anybody ever experienced any negative impacts on the immigration petition or embassy interview stage due to having filed single while married to a foreign spouse?
Do I have to go back to H&R block to request an edit/amendment or just leave it be?
Please send your reply in detail with credible sources.
It is already filed and I have the refund in my bank account. What do I have to do to amend this as it sits. File tax again?
