Congrats. Before the approval did you get “actively reviewing…..” status update few hours or days before it was approved?

Any update on your i485?

How do you submit the election. Nobody is saying anything about how it is done.

Thank you. This is it. So you just filed jointly. I guess you already had EAD and SSN while you filed, with pending AOS. Sometimes, these things can be confusing so when you talk to someone with the same situation, it helps a lot. Thank you. I totally love visajourney, it is very informative and i’m grateful for all the help we get from all of you. God bless you all.

I’ve maintained same address in the US since 2021 and have never left the US. However they consider F1 visa status as exempt from using that 183 day rule and I’m quite concerned. however I have pending AOS application but have EAD and SSN and pay all my taxes: Medicare, SS, state and federal.

https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/4491_unique_filing_status_and_exemption.pdf You can see the link I attached, see the picture I added and the part i highlighted. You would need to write a declaration to be treated as a resident for tax purposes and also file by mail. it is confusing. I want to know if anyone has gone through my exact situation and filed jointly through turbo tax without any issues.

What about “treated as resident for tax purposes” clause and the requirement that I need to declare to be treated as a resident for the tax year. I’ve read about this so I’m confused. I know we need to file jointly but that clause is my concern.

Yes I have SSN, Medicare, Social Security , federal and state too are all taken out of my paycheck.

Hello, I am an F1 student who moved to the US in Dec 2021 and married to a US citizen since august 2022, we have a child who is a US citizen. I have a pending adjustment of status application, I have an EAD and I work full time while I still go to school. So I want to file jointly but I don’t know how if I need to declare to be treated as a resident for tax purposes. If so, where and how do I declare this, is it done digitally or electronically. Do I file the return digitally or electronically.m. Or do I just file jointly using TurboTax or other apps. It is very confusing right now.

Hello guys, Months ago I’ve applied for AOS while my wife was still an LPR, so I am presently F2A. Months later, my EAD was approved. Recently my spouse became a US citizen. Please how do I upgrade my application from F2A to IR1. What is the process or steps to take. Thanks
