I logged on last week and it was at 2 months and had been steadily reducing for months. Today it says 8 months until a decision. We filed March 24th 2023.
Wondering if anyone else had noticed that the dates start changing when your case is being worked on behind the scene or saw it change then got their noa2 shortly thereafter.
Thanks all,

My understanding is to attach the w7 itin app with the return.
So our Fed return should include
1040
w7
2555
No Foreign asset FBAR Form needed as foreign assets are under 10,000
We are filing MFJ and are trying to make sure we have everything covered in what is a pretty basic situation. Wondering if we can get any feedback to help us.
ME (USC Living in the US)
w2 wages -
Standard deduction
Her (Resident of mexico NRA)
Has income from MX
Has an investment account
I've made it through but I'm confused. She has foreign income but i'm not sure if we need to include it since she is NRA.
I was wondering if anyone has an estimate of refund waiting time when you file your first mfj w7 return. Months a year? I’ve read that some people wait a year before it’s processed, trying to see if this is typical as we will need the money sooner than later.
Secondary question, I think somewhere I read it’s better to file mfj at minimum the first year but I can’t remember why.
thanks everyone!
I don’t know much but according to the othe name change thread, the will use whatever name is on your passport for the gc, visa and ssn. If you want to use your married name, indications are that your passport must have it.
Hey @pushbrk, Would they need to have the name legally changed before it gets sent to nvc? Is it possible to have her change her name once she is in the USA or how does that work?
