K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresmarried filing jointly? can i do that?
thanks for the reply everybody.
we were married for a year and a half now.
she had her SSN november of 2007 and her green card january of 2008.

yup, i can never file as head of houshold since we had been together for almost a year now and she is/will not be my dependent as per IRS rules.

so the best choice is: i will file married filing jointly since she had no income at all/ she never work at all. i guess this will give us a bigger refund.

again, thanks everyone.
God Bless us all.

thanks for the reply.

im just confused with the "c/o".
as what i understood , if theres a "c/o". USCIS might think that i dont live on that address and the credit card bill will be handed to me by my wife Amy Smith since its a "care of" or c/o Amy Smith.

sorry for the bother again.
forgive me for being dumb.

When it came time to file for ROC, I thought I recalled reading (somewhere) that USCIS didn't want the ACCO fasteners anymore. But I couldn't really confirm it.


I remember reading that here (see tip #3) after I filed my AOS stuff and feeling better about the fact I couldn't be bothered to use ACCO fasteners! biggrin.gif I actually did use one (for the first time ever) this time, though, and did the thing with the tabs like the OP. Also made a sheet of little stickers with my A# on them and stuck one to each page, to stop me having those nightmares over the huge pile of docs getting dropped on the floor and not being identifiable as mine anymore.



thats a good one...pasting the A#"s on each page....
I am sure that in my case, putting the acco fasteners at the top and labeling at the bottom really helped the slow-moving VSC officials... star_smile.gif

So friends...make sure that whatever you do....your package should be intact...and it should contain all the possible support evidence you can gather.....label them for the sake of officials...and PRAY.
