2020 Tax return when spouse is a non resident

Hi Everyone,

This questions is in relation to an IR1 / CR1 visa.
I recently became documentarily qualified and am now awaiting for an embassy appointment for my green card interview.

​

For my application we submitted my wife's (The USC) 2019 tax return and tax extension for 2020.

​

However I have been reading lately that when people attend their interviews they are being required to have their 2020 tax returns completed before they will issue a visa. Meaning they have to leave the interview and submit these documents to the embassy through a currier. Adding a huge delay to the process. So obviously me and my wife are attempting to complete her 2020 taxes.

We had hoped to due it once I received my SSN.

​

So this has led us to the question of how she accounts for me. A non-resident spouse.

Her tax person says that since she is married that she HAS to account for me. Which means I need to apply for a TIN number as I can't get a SSN.

​

Applying for a TIN number seems extremely difficult as places like that are still essentially shut due to Covid.

​

Has anyone any experience with this? Filing tax returns with a non-resident spouse? Any advice or experience on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
