IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIRS Tax Transcripts

Well, we didn't have to enter the address, as it would automatically send it to the last registered address of the USC, which was our address in France.
Have you filed your taxes from Spain? Does IRS have a record of your Spain address? If yes then it won't be a problem.


I filed my taxes from Spain, does this mean that they have a record of my Spain address from my tax form? Or do I have to specifically call them and give it to them?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIRS Tax Transcripts

I just posted a topic about that yesterday :D
It's here:
http://www.visajourn...94#entry5080794

You can order the transcripts online and they'll send it abroad no problem. It took about 10 business days for us to receive them in France.


That's great!!!

I'll look into it as soon as it becomes available on January 9. I don't know why, I remember trying to order them online a few weeks ago and for some reason it wouldn't let me introduce a foreign state. However, obviously this is not the case since you were able to receive the transcripts abroad.

Thank you very much for the information! :thumbs:

Thank you Bob for your prompt answer!!!

I will need a co-sponsor, I just wasn't sure if I had to include the transcripts or the photocopy was enough for my part. From what you've sent me, that pretty much cleared up my doubts!!

Thanks again! :thumbs:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIRS Tax Transcripts
I apologize if this thread has already been mentioned, I couldn't find any topic that answered my doubts. I have two questions regarding the tax transcripts, I would greatly appreciate any input :D :

1. If I'm living abroad (in beneficiary's country), how do I request the tax transcripts so that they are mailed to my current address? I filed the tax returns with the exemption forms for the last three years. However, on the IRS website, the online transcript request option is only available to US residents.

2. Is the transcript mandatory? In the AOS form, point 25 states "I have attached the required photocopy or transcript of my Federal tax return..." So, am I to understand that a photocopy of the IRS form I sent is also acceptable?

Thank you!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresalready approved for i-130, now, for the next packet....do i need send them all the originals????`

Hey Sant, quick question if you don't mind. I see your I-130 was approved after 7 days and you went through CSC, did you request an expedite? I'm always curious when peoples I-130's are approved so fast.
Matt


No, I did not request an expedite. I really have no idea what caused the speedy approval. I followed the same procedures as everyone else, documents and all.

I'll paste here the same answer I told another member:

I inquired about the possible motives and was told by other VJ members that some reasons could be: 1) Beneficiary is from a low-risk country, 2) I'm residing in the same country as the beneficiary, 3) Just pure luck, 4) Unknown reasons

Sorry I can't be of further help on this matter :unsure:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChange of address of USC after case complete in NVC
I found this in another thread:

Also, please be sure to notify the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General of any change of postal mail or e-mail address, or any change in personal situation that may affect the applicant's eligibility for a visa.

I am sure this refers just to the beneficiary. However, it wouldn't hurt to call, even if it's just for your own peace of mind. :thumbs:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChange of address of USC after case complete in NVC
My advice would be to call the NVC, speak with an operator and explain the situation. However, since the package has left the NVC, you may wish to contact the embassy where the interview will take place and ask them what procedure (if any) has to be taken.

Does the USC have any way of sending you the proof of address change? So that you can take it with you the interview. Here in Spain you can obtain a certificate which specifies the address change from the census office. I'm not sure what he can send you. I would call the embassy, they may be able to help you with this. Good luck.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresOver 4 Months, no NAO 2
The processing time does state 5 months, so I would start getting more worried past that time, and even then there are cases that take a little longer. However, you have the option of calling and inquire.

If you have the NOA1 receipt number you should be able to verify if you have any RFE through the USCIS website. As far as I know, any paper work regarding the I-130 should go to your US address, since the I-130 is made by petitioner. Once the case is forwarded to NVC, then your husband will receive the package with instructions to his Spain address.

SanFeliuGuixols,

Thanks for your response. I couldn't help but notice that you're immigrating from Spain too (my husband is from Pamplona). You also sent your I-130 in 2 weeks after I did and already have been approved. So lucky - I'm still waiting on the NOA2 (two months and counting). How did you manage to get it approved so fast?

Thanks!


I inquired about the possible motives of the speedy approval and was told by other VJ members that some motives could be: 1) Beneficiary is from a low-risk country, 2) I'm residing in the same country as the beneficiary, 3) Just pure luck, 4) Unknown reasons

As much as I'd wish there was a direct answer, I'm sorry I'm not able give you any further information. :unsure:

My husband is from Barcelona :) (L)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of Support

thanks for the response, seems we're both in a bit of an undefined area. as i don't have a lawyer helping me, i have no one to ask for this advice. i was thinking about getting the co-sponser just in case, as this process is long enough without even without receiving any RFE's. i would hate to make it longer than it already is.


Felanai,

From the information that I've received, the embassy in Madrid looks at current salary, however, if you wish to get a joint sponsor just in case, it won't hurt your case, on the contrary.

Good luck!!

I saw two option
Acctoun
Return

and I picked return one.


Yes, you selected the correct option. They just require the Return Transcript, this one also takes a shorter time to arrive, the Account Transcript can take upto a month to be received.

Good luck :)
