    And "reduce the historically high immigration benefit request backlog" does not mean that they are trying to also get every non-asylum seeker petition going faster? Especially with what they say here? https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/uscis-announces-new-actions-to-reduce-backlogs-expand-premium-processing-and-provide-relief-to-work Even if immigrant visas are self-funded; being able to hire on more staff to process asylum seeker petitions and "reduce the historically high immigration benefit request backlog" means more people to go through our stuff once they are done. USCIS staff doesn't magically pop up from the ground like daisies just to vanish once all the asylum seekers have been approved or denied.

    They recently (June 1st) started prioritizing I-130s for immediate family members of US citizens because there's a visa immediately available to them (most other cases have seen a significant increase in estimated processing times). The Biden administration has granted more funds to the USCIS this year to account for staff shortages and the USCIS has written on their website that they are prioritizing reducing their massive COVID backlog so that they want to have gone through a good chunk of it by the end of 2023. Will it be 5 months from now? Maybe. Will it take as long as it did during COVID backlog times? On average probably no. I believe in 2019 there were many cases where it took 8 months but I'd have to check again.

    How do you guys reveal via Emma where you have been transferred to? We could only extrapolate based on our two failed attempts at expedite requests, whose denials both came from Texas (we got our NOA1 from Potomac, so we must have been transferred some time in Feb/March without them telling us). We also got our NOA1 on the 15th and no dice We tried to expedite via urgent humanitarian needs and severe financial loss thru our congressional representatives and nothing
  8. KatiAndIan started following Tax Software for MFJ with non-resident alien spouse without ITIN

    Hello! My husband and I were married in September 2022 and have submitted our CR-1 application in November. It is unlikely I will get an SSN anytime soon - certainly not before April. We wanted to try Married Filed Jointly for 2022 as I believe it benefits our visa process and yields greater returns. But it's a bit of a hassle to actually do it. Does anyone know a tax filing software which takes the special case of filing a W-7 form for a non-resident alien spouse into account (aka preparing the document without entering an SSN/ITIN for the spouse)? My husband needs to file business and personal taxes and we would like to avoid a CPA and there are hundreds of services out there, perhaps someone in here has experience and can recommend one.
