IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2014 Interviews

I also wonder what the date (24 jun 2013) means. I know for sure that its not the I-130 NOA1 because my noa1 is aug 2013. So I think all the P4 email that NVC send have that date. Its funny coz when I receive'd my P4 just 3 wks ago, I was a bit dissapointed because I thought its the date of my husband's schedule for the interview. I didn't even pay attention to the year 2013. I just noticed the 24 june, so I felt sad thinking that my husband and I have no chance to be together on our 1st wedding anniversary on June 1 hahaha. But I was so happy when I read the letter and found out the interview is April 3 instead. 

 

 came across your message when I was wondering/searching the meaning of that (24june2013) in our P4 email. felt relieved too that its like they attached that date in all the P4 emails for every one. anyways I saw that we had the same wedding anniversary date (june 1) :) already got my interview May 14, but we don't know when or how many days they'll issue the visa after the interview. seems like we cant expect to be together on june 1 :( my husband already want to book a flight but its like we're worrying (even though we don't have to) bout a denial or a delay. can I ask you when did your husband receive his visa? and how did his interview went?

Yes you may bring the extension letter to the embassy during your interview or just like what TYorke1 said,just file your tax married filing separately and put NRA on the ssn box.

 

thank you for the info. :)

You can file a 1040x (an amendment) and bring a photocopy of what you send to IRS along to the interview. All they really care about is the numbers so as long as the income number is the same on the 1040x as what you submitted to NVC then you will be fine.

 

On your 1040x all you need to change is the status. The easiest and quickest is to use Married Filing Seperately and put NRA (non-resident alien) in the SSN box. You could do this today if you wanted to. Just make a copy and bring along to interview.

 

As I said they are only interested in the figures, so make sure these are the same.

 

I'm also sure that they will be flexible with photocopies instead of transcripts in the months of April and May because some wont file 2013 until the last day (April 15th) and transcripts are not available until the return has been reviewed by IRS.

 

thank you for the infos. I know we will get as much $$$ if we file MFJ but I guess we don't have a choice but to go with MFS. what's the difference between the 2 in terms of money thing??? anyways thank you again and you're a big help. God bless :)

By the way, for my 2013 tax return, I did file as single and not married even though I got married last June 2013. I know there's an issue about filing married either jointly(w/ ITIN) or separately(and put NRA on ss no box) and that were not supposed to file single. Trust me, I told my tax preparer about it.But she insist no, I should just file single now and then amend my tax soon as my husband get here and get his ss and were not gonna have a problem at the interview. And yes, she is right, during the interview, they didnt say anything bout my filing status. I guess they only look for my income and thats it. My husband's visa was approved. So I plan to amend my tax soon as my husband get here and when he received his ss.

 

got interested with your infos about this tax filing. just knew that my husband can file tax married separately and just put NRA, coz we're about to call the ssa to ask them if im eligible for a ss# or the itin#. right now we're just waiting for our case complete and we don't know if his transcript will be ready for the interview since we think this tax filing will take long because he really doesn't want to file single and pay more for his taxes instead of getting some money. my question is, would the embassy/consulate accept W2 together with the request for an extension letter for his 2013 tax return?

hoping for your response, thanks a lot. :)

PhilippinesVISA DELIVERY (PHILIPPINES)

Hi guys. I just called 2GO courier and they said that my visa is already in transit and will be delivered by tomorrow (so happy for that) but when I asked about my son's visa they said that the embassy haven't released it yet. called the embassy too to double check it, and they said the same thing. I checked his ceac status and there's no changes with his "ISSUED" status.

 

my question is, is it normal for our visa not to be delivered at the same time??? should it be together with my visa??? anyone who experienced this??? hope you can enlighten me guys.


M&M01Not TellingPhilippines2014-05-16 03:57:00
PhilippinesWhen can I pick up Visa?

I just checked my 2GO status and it says this:

 

5/22/2014 9:10:35 AM IN-TRANSIT   5/22/2014 3:33:34 PM ACCEPTED SHIPMENT FROM CUSTOMER   5/22/2014 5:12:36 PM IN-TRANSIT

 

When do you think my visa will be available for pick-up (SM Manila)?

 

 

tomorrow, that's for sure.

PhilippinesSchedule Appointment

 

Idk where you got that. I called the Embassy and the woman on the phone told me CR-1 applicants can reschedule as many times as needed without any repercussions.

 

can you do this rescheduling thing too even if the case isn't an expedited case. (CR-1 applicant)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS-261 mistake sent twice. HELP

Hi everyone, im having a situation about DS-261 to where I filled it up Feb.4 and I just saw yesterday that I put my agent's country wrong that it should be US instead of Philippines. so what I did is I edit the form and sent it again and got the notification again like I had the first time. would it make a problem with our case that I sent DS-261 twice? plus its been quite a few days that we haven't received the IV fee though our AOS is been paid. hoping someone can enlighten me with this.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWill NVC ask for 2013 ITR (split topic)

if we're going to send the AOS packet this month together with the requirements, will the NVC ask for the 2013 ITR? or would the ITR's from 2010-2012 enough?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow to re schedule interview in us embassy manila

I asked the same question here too before and they told me I cant do that. one member here already did that, like she just got her own new schedule online and went to the embassy and she end up going home coz they wont honor it. if its an expedite case thing, they'll allow it.
