IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDo IRS tax returns for the AOS have to be notarized?

Yes he can send a copy of the 1040 but needs to include w-2's, 1099 and any other documents he sent in with the tax return to IRS except your w-7.


so just a copy of the 1040 and other docs are okay?
he has his 05-06 transcript too..
wats difference of the tax return from 1040?just like to know

same for us as others have said.
Ours took 7 days from the date we sent ours.
So relax, and wait a few more days, and if you repeated this step, you will most likely get several responses in a row once they do. easier then said to wait...but that is all you can do. Luckily there are no holidays now, and no delays as happens for many who are in their process during the holidays.
I assume you used the short cuts as is advised...they save several weeks if done properly.
Best wishes.

did u received an autoresponse? or already the acceptance of ur choice of agent?

i would like to ask,on filling up the I-864 form

on 26.a
how much u should put on it?should it be 3 or 4 figures?what if right now u only have 2 figures left?

thank u..
i need an answer asap...thanks


26a-d are questions about assets, is this what you're asking about? If so, you only need to fill this section out if you DON'T meet the 2009 federal poverty level.

If you do need to count your assets, then put your asset totals on each line.

A. Savings
B. Cash value of real-estate
C. Cash value of stocks/bonds, ect
D. Add up lines a+b+c


about the savings? what if u only have lets say 200 or less on the bank?is it okay?or u have to put higher than that?



According to the I-864 instructions, "In order to qualify based on the value of your assets, the total value of your assets must equal at least five times the difference between your total household income and the current poverty guidelines for your household size. However,if you are a U.S. citizen and you are sponsoring your spouse or minor child, the total value of your assets must only be equal to at least three times the difference." So if you are sponsoring your spouse, your $200 of savings only counts as $66.67. That probably won't help you.


i mean, for 26.a which is savings, can he put for example 200
and for 26.b, the value of the real estate etc.
and for 26.c, cash value of stocks/bonds, etc.?

my concern is the line 26.a

thanks

Just wondering, when you applied for your ITIN, if you sent in a passport, or a photo copy of passport with an apostille ?

i sent in a notarized photocopy of my passport only..some says i need more docs. like bc,mc, etc. and all should be notarized.. so until now im just waiting for the mail from IRS if they will give me TIN or deny it..


xylide,

Your timeline says that lizzy received a social security number in January. Why would you need an ITIN? Just curious. Also, it's faster and easier to get a SSN than an ITIN.

My understanding is that it's better to have the passport notarized by the U.S. embassy if the individual isn't in the U.S. Or, if you're in the U.S., you can go to an acceptance agent to have your documents validated and to submit your ITIN application.

I just sent my ITIN application a week ago, so I'm in the same situation as you.


im not in the US yet so i am not able to get SSN yet,can only get ITIN for my husband's tax.. he put me and our baby on his tax..

@@@ Military personnel needs only 100% of the poverty line not the required 125%. But the more you show the better. I do not recommned using I-864EZ, just use I-864.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures? Naturalization ?
QUOTE (MsMariah @ Apr 28 2009, 03:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I believe it's that when you arrive on IR1 it's 3 years as a permanent resident you can apply for naturalization.
Likewise, if you remove conditions from CR1, then it's 3 years as a permanent resident until you apply for naturalization.

Here is the brochure from USCIS which details the speed at which one can naturalize. http://www.uscis.gov...ticle/M-476.pdf

It is much faster if applying for naturalization as a military spouse.

yes i am.. proud army wife..Ü

QUOTE (canadian_wife @ Apr 28 2009, 06:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It's after 3 years of being a resident. So after 2 years you can remove conditions to a 10 year green card and a year after that, you can apply for naturalization.

Good luck.


what if given a 10 year green card after entering the states?so it means just 1 year then u can apply?
