Dear all,
Can anyone help me? I had posted this thread on another forum but had no luck even after on week. Can someone please answer this one for me. I will appreciate it.
I have a few questions regarding about a Tax ID number for H-4 visa for my spouse. I have applied for consular processing of green card for myself and my wife and expect processing in 6-9 months. I also have a NIW based approved I-140 and pending I-485. My wife's name is not on the I-485 and she doesnot have a EAD. She is here on H-4 and the visa expires in 06/2005-- i have applied for renewal
I recently got married and would like to add my wife to my tax return as Married filed jointly. My accountant informed me that I would need a Tax ID number for my wife, which I have to indicate on the form 1040.
1. My questions is by getting a Tax ID number and using at the IRS, does that impact her immigration status or her application for consular processing?
2. Should i got through the trouble of going through a I-485 for my wife with all the expense and get a EAD with SSN. or Should I just not include her in the Tax papers?
3. Also we got married last year 2004 but she only joined me this year 2005 due to visa delays. My accountant tells me that I can still claim her as a dependent for tax purposes. The IRS form W-7 for Tax ID, asks for notarized passport copy (? I-94 ? visa stamp) . Will this create any legal problems for immigration purposes.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my questions.
