IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAm I married or still single in the US (weird question)

 
You need to have a qualifying dependent living with you in order to be Head of Household.
 

Nowhere in my post did mention head of household!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAm I married or still single in the US (weird question)

When filing taxes, unless your husband have been in the US for 6 months, you file head of household if possible. You are considered legally married but because he haven't been in the country you file head of household. Trust me i know this info firsthand. Btw...please register your marriage in the US..you dont want any problems down the line


There is NO official "registration" for a foreign marriage... Some states have the ability to file official documents but there is no need (or system) to do any type of registering of a foreign marriage... Married is married, your foreign marriage certificate is recognized here is the USA. No need to do anything else.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAm I married or still single in the US (weird question)

Becaful for this question.if put your status married you have to prove wheny you filling your tax.
The same thing happens my friend.If claim you are married you have to prove in USA law.
First ,you have put your husband social security number if got it .
If don't have the social security number ,u can't claim your husband.



I think your kind of confusing the OP... You mark married if you are married... Period. For taxes, if they do not have a SSN# or ITTN number, you file married filing seperate and put the letters NPR (not permanent resident) in the box for his/her social... You can file amended tax forms later when they get here and get a SSN... But you are still MARRIED whether they are physically here or not... You do not have to file any official proof of married with your taxes, unless asked by IRS and your foreign marriage certificate is your proof...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEvidence of a bonafide marriage

 
 
we are Muslim.....we can not even be alone in the same room until marriage so there is no living at the same address 

Then they would not expect to see that (finances, lease etc...).. However, they will expect to see that you communicate regularly and have an ongoing relationship... As others have said, photos, email, chat logs, passport stamps anything showing regular contact.

I'm not sure how the process goes from here for Armenia as each Embassy has it's own way of doing things. I would suggest you ask this question in the regional forum and also look at the information for that particular embassy/consulate.

 

where do i check for status now , what website? or a phone number. ,, and when should i start calling?

It does not take someone to go to law school to know how to pick up a phone and make a call.  Nor do you need a lawyer to fill out a form if you are competent human being.  I fell for it, hired a lawyer, paid way too much, got smart and fired her and finished on my own.  Visa is in our hands, save your money and take charge, you can do this!!!

The quickest way is to go to the SS office after about 2 weeks and get your #... Employers usually will not hire you until you show the SS#... The GC generally comes in about 6-8 weeks...

CanadaTaxes while we're still in Canada
If your filing seperatly, then you just have to put your income. Does your husband have a Ssn or itin? If not, file seperatly and put NPR in the box for his social security number. But the point of filing seperatly is that you are responsible for your tax liability and your spouse for theirs.

CanadaStaying with the same company - transfer? on K1 visa
So will you be reporting and paid by the Canadian office or a USA office? This is mostly for tax implications... Most companies can just do an internal transfer (it should be pretty easy since you will be on a non-sponsored visa) but it would depend if you are being "assumed" by a USA branch or paid in Canada. IDE latter, the. You will have Canadian and USA taxes to sort through...
