Yay, awesome good.gif

 

And I didn't think you could expedite until you had case numbers. You can always call NVC up and ask!

I think we could expedite without case number..

I asked this info to NvC this morning and they told me to email all below information to them.

 

1) MSC number.

2) Beneficiary and petitionary name, Address and birthdate  

3) Reason for expedite and attach all available proof.

 

if your expedite get approve than you will have your case numbers quickly.

Hi Saylin,

 

On my tax return. I told my accountant to put NRA however he put down "Applied for". he said he called the IRS and that's what they told him to put. I hope he didn't screw up anything.......grrrrrrr

Hi..

Are you feeling Joint or separate tax return ?

 

My accountant did same thing ..

I put my tax return on hold until I do not find correct answer for it.

But I was thinking to put NRA in stead of Applied for.

We did ours with the 'NRA' option.  I could not find a way to electronically file it.  We had to file the hardcopy, via USPS.  This will take longer. 

 

Also, if you file as MFJ, you both have to sign the return.  If you have power of attorney for your spouse, you can sign for both.  My option was to email a pdf version to my husband.  He printed and signed it, included it with other original papers we need for the NVC.  

 

When you submit it to the IRS, use USPS Priority mailing option and get the Certified green, return card option as well (should cost about $11.60 per mailing; federal and state tax offices).  Then, make an account on the IRS.gov site and you can track the progress of when they receive the federal tax and when it is processed.  There are also apps for the iPhone, for the tracking.  If you have the time, you can do it this way. 

 

Hope this can help you.

 

Oh Thank you so much..

you made my day..

Hi, I have question to saylin and also other friends..

 

Do you guys see anyone in VJ before who filled tax return as Married filling jointly without putting ITIN number and just did as NRA.

I know ITIN number is required but my accountant told me that he did many tax return as MFJ with NRA ( no ITIN)

 

I do not have enough time to apply for ITIN and sign papers to my wife.

Also, If I do as MFS than I owe IRS to 28000$ and MFJ only 21,000$.

 

So I was thinking to take a risk at this point.

 

Any ideasssssssssss?idea9dv.gif idea9dv.gif

You misunderstand me.  You said they do not want to be on VJ anymore.  So that means they are not here to update the rest of their information; simply having the received date doesn't help the spreadsheet, in my opinion.  The purpose of the spreadsheet, isn't to track how fast the NVC receives a file from a USCIS service center but to track how fast people can get through the NVC process.  If they will continue to update and give Saylin the rest of their dates, then the information is beneficial.  If they don't, it's not. 

 

But opinions are like elbows, everyone has a few, and their's are not any better than anyone else's.

If the person is not here to update the information I'm also unsure why... but it's her spreadsheet.

 You guys make my Super Mario crying now. cray5ol.gif cray5ol.gifcray5ol.gif  

 

All that people are here and posting and checking NVC thread everyday.

Also, they gave Noa2 date and NVC received date to Saylin themselves,

 

Might they forgot to tell about service centers coz they were so happy that time with their Noa2 approval.

That's why I just corrected it..

 

why you guys having problem with that?wow.gif


Deep35472MaleIndia2014-03-16 16:33:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

we dont get it - why are you updating the NVC sheet for someone who is not interested in putting data into it 

 

they left after i-130 approval - meaning they will not give you or saylin any useful NVC data.

 

i dont think its a good idea to add OTHER people's information without them doing it

and without them updating their timelines for the rest of us deep

 

Also, what is the purpose of adding JUST the service center - are you on the hook for getting their NVC data somehow ?

 

can you explain why Saylin ought to do this work ?

First of all, you mean by "we don't get is " means what?

who other people included in your "we"?

 

Real fact they do not give their data to saylin coz they do not find nvc thread useful at all..( first two pages perfect).

Saylin is nice but why other people interrupt here without any reason.. they interrupt people and talk with them like they are admin for the VJ. 

 

I do not have to explain you about Why saylin ought to do this work..

She is nice and I do not think so she has any problem to change service center if it's incorrect.

Thanks

Tell everyone on there to adjust their timelines then. smile.png

I already told them..

as we knew that many people left Vj after they get approval from USCIS.

out of 78 approval from august sheet, I just saw only 6 to 7 people here in the NVC sheet.

 

I do not know why they left but if we have all their data than we have more clear picture about NVC timeframe. ( but it's impossible task).

MFJ requires an ITIN or SSN.  MFS only requires NRA in the SSN spot.  BOTH require you to postal mail the return. 

What about her signature in MFJ and MFS? 


Deep35472MaleIndia2014-03-14 18:50:00

Congrats! And updated; you just moved on up wink.png

questions for you saylin..

 

1) If I want to file tax return as MFJ than Do I need ITIN number or I can just put NRA on it. And any other requirement from wife to fill as MFJ....

 

2) how about MFS.. what's requirement from my wife , sign or ITIN number , anything ?

 

I do not have much time to sign any kind paper from my wife who lives in India.

I was to finish tax return quick and a good way.

Getting the case number assigned won't be quicker, but once assigned you'll save a good amount of time. When case# is assigned you can pay both AOS and IV bills. So if you are ready to send those packages out quickly after the bills are paid the only waiting you'll have is to get the case# assigned initially and them reviewing your submitted docs.

Thanks bro..

I totally do not knew about this..

and you r from August too..

Keep in touch with us at August thread if you can coz u r the one who ahead of us...star_smile.gif

1. Definitely not. An ITIN is only for tax purposes. It's not a SSN.
 
2. It's up to you whether you send them or not. As it states in the form, the other 2 years are optional.
 
 
Added! When did you complete the DS-260?
 
 
I already added you, but you didn't exactly ask to be added. You just quoted me and wrote dates.
 
 
Yes, that's what that means. Could be a shorter time frame, could be a longer time frame. It's just their boilerplate time frame.
 
And added!

If you're the beneficiary, you don't have to do anything with the I864 form, that is for the petitioner.
The petitioner can pull up the form online here:

No, NVC doesn't send you the forms. They'll send you a link to the forms, but you can do that yourself. Just go to USCIS's website and find the I-864 forms. Please go back and read posts 1 and 2 as you've obviously missed valuable information.

thank you Saylin
i told my father to go lawyer office and tell him to find I864 form and they have to send this form to me in bangladesh than i will sign and send them back so it will take little time

I am really surprised that at this stage of your petition almost going to complete, you are asking such basic question,
What did your write in your I130, passport clearly will specify which is surname and family name, if you don't have family name leave it blank, the answers to your question is in your passport,
Please don't mess it up . At this stage of processing.


i got this answer already but i didnt have his passport and didnt have any paper on my hand at that time so i cant make sure what to put so i just ask this to be make sure and later i got his passsport and did this already
any way thank you

When I applied for my husband I put his given name as the last name. His name is Mohammad Shumon, although in Bangladesh a lot of people do not really have "family" names or surnames. All my husband's relatives have different last names. I just put Mohammad as first name and given name as last or surname and added a note that in Bangladesh they do not really follow this system of surnames. I also added that my father-in-law and my husband's brothers have Mohammad in their name for similar purposes as a "family" name.
 
Hope this helped!

The AOS says "not available" so I think we'll have to wait two or three days more for the invoiced. When we log in at the ceac site, I try to click on ds261 and it says there "please contact NVC if you request to change your agent/representative/lawyer" that's why I think our lawyer has filled it out for us already. But on the bottom where it says AOS and IV, it says "not available". I think you should ask your lawyer if he/she signed the ds261 already. We didn't ask our lawyer because when we checked ceac, it seemed that our lawyer completed the form for us.


but for me its different when i click ds261 its came form to fill up and i just fill it up but didnt send save it not sure should i send or dont?

If you have a lawyer attached to the case, then they're automatically selected as agent, thus no need for the DS-261. DO NOT FILL IT OUT.
 
Because a DS-261 isn't needed in your case, the IV bill should have been invoiced at the same time as the AOS bill.'.



i fill it out few minutes a ago but didnt send it i saved them. just leave it fill out will be any problem??
can nvc see i started ds261 and complete but didnt send?

and can you please tell me what to put on country of region on ds261 form usa or bangladesh?
my country is bangladesh but i am us citizen its didnt ask country of birth so should i put usa? or not?
