My fiance arrived here on 12/4/08 and has been living with me. We dont get married until 2/14/09. Can I claim her as a dependent on my 2008 taxes? Would i file as single and 1? Are there any tax breaks, credits or deductions i can get for taking care of her for the last 3 weeks of the year?

thanks


You asked three questions. The answers are... No. Yes. No.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMarriage before K1...?
QUOTE (Old Dominion @ Feb 3 2009, 06:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It will make no difference so long as the marriage is not registered with the government and is unofficial. I assume the idea is for religious or family reasons? Why wait until getting the K-1?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresright to deny because of age
Who is the older one, the man or the woman? I have seen some embassies really reviewing the case closely if the petitioner is a woman and signficiantly older than the beneficiary.

We had a large age difference and didn't have any problems what so ever. Just make sure all your paperwork is in order good.gif

A year or so ago there was an issue with a member who was much older than her fiance. I think she ended up moving to his country

QUOTE (daboyz @ Feb 5 2009, 06:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
If you have the canceled check it will have a number on the back starting with EAC or WAC. Once you get this number, you can call USCIS and ask them what is going on.


Yea, check the back of the check. Maybe the receipt NOA was lost in the mail. The important one, the approval NOA, is critical for future processes.

You can certainly use the PC to fill them in. If you don't have enough room just add supplemental sheets for any questions requiring more space. Have you had a chance to read the guides here on VJ, they are very helpful. Good luck good.gif

During these economic times I would suggest you re-evaluate your priorities. What happens if you loose your job? Think things through and try not to be impulsive.

Sounds like that may be your best option if you don't meet the poverty guideline.
