IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWill Unpaid Taxes Ruin Chance at Interview?
Do you think his parents owe taxes. That is one reason why people wait until the last moment to file taxes. Maybe he can take his dad out for some coffee and explain the situation and ask his dad to help him out to file the taxes earlier.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureslate IRS overseas tax returns
Since you are doing late returns for back years it will not be filed electronically so it would have to be mailed. Go to a tax professional company such as H & R block and they will assist you. Since this is the peak time for taxes mailing the return to the IRS will take several weeks. So get your documents and get them done ASAP.

Your current year tax return can be filed electronically and you can get a copy of the return when you filed it usually the same day. The prior year returns will take time.

If you already sent it in and it is clearly legible it shouldn't be a problem. But of course following the sample forms on this site is the best way to go.

Getting a congressman involved seems like to big deal to us, but to USCIS it is an everyday occurance and hardly worthy of notice.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCR-1 Approved.

Good morning VJ,

My wife's CR-1 visa is approved. And now we're thinking of finding a job for her to pay back to Uncle Sam.

Since it's a CR-1 visa (which will grant her a 2-year conditional permanent resident status), will she need to file USCIS I-765 Application for Employment Authorization before she could work full time?

Any help would greatly appreciated.

Thank you all.


ConGraTuLaTions on the approval :) :dance: :star:

You meant , perhaps, the I-130 has been approved, yes? Since you mention of FUTURE NVC intake.

Are you the USCitizen ?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTax Transcript I-864 question

A tax transcript is something that you obtain (free of charge) from the IRS. It sounds like you are talking about a copy of your tax return.

If you choose to send a copy of the tax return (which is acceptable) be sure to include all pages, schedules, and supporting documents.

:thumbs:
To order your free tax transcript go to http://www.irs.gov/i...=232168,00.html
It will take 5 to 10 business days and you can order by telephone or online.

Did your co-sponsor own a business? He may have had a loss in 2010 and had a gain in 2009 causing total income to be greater in one year and lower in another.

If you filed in April and didn't owe (ie you got a refund), then your transcript should be ready. For those that owe the IRS is backed up and it will take some time for the system to catch up.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIs there a website where you can pay US$2000 to get CR1 done in a month's time?
Not to my knowledge. If she is adamant can you ask her for details?

My fiance told me that she heard of someone getting their k-1 visa in about 2 months (and the person wasn't in the military or it wasn't a special case). I asked her get the details from the person who told her so. To make a long story short, she couldn't verify the story. So don't disagree with your wife. Just ask her for details on who, what, where, when and how. And that if she gives you the details you are more than happy to get it for her in a month :

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAOS and IV BILL!!!!

Once a NVC case number is assigned the AOS fee is generated right away. However, before the IV fee is generated you do need to send the DS 3032 choice of agent form. You will need the NVC Case number and Invoice number to log in and pay. Once you pay it takes 1-2 days for it to show as PAID.
MAke sure and print both AOS and IV bar coded cover sheets. GOOD LUCK!!!

Heres the template to email the DS 3023, worked like a charm for us!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed Help..Approval Time For Case

Depends on the visa type but we got out our NOA2 on May 30 and would have been completed at NVC July 25th had we not run into a glitch. So, witheverything working like clock work it was almosttwo months. It took almost a full month to even ge t from USCIS to the NVC and get a new case number. However, it's hard to predict being that differenttimesof year and different cases affect the length. Keep your patience is all I can advise! AND if you are getting a IR1 or CR 1 or 2, check out theshort cut link. It's called lingche shortcuts.
Goodluck.
