I am planning to submit I130 and 485 /864 packet to apply for FB gc through my spouse ( USC) in late january or early February . Right now, my spouse only have tax return 1040 for year 2009,2008, 2007, and most recent paystubs in 2010. He has not filed 2010 tax return since W2, 1099, etc are not available for 2010 yet.
Is it sufficient if my spouse (sponsor) only provide tax
return 2007-2009 when I submit gc application in late Jan ?
In most cases married-filing-separately results in paying more taxes than married-filing-jointly. Have you done the calculations both for separately and jointly to see which is better?Since we just married in late December. Is it ok if we file married but filing separately tax return 2010? Any potential problem in my gc application ?
I also have questions on I-864
The form instruction page 3 says:" If the intending immigrant is your spouse, his or her income can be included if it will continue from the SAME SOURCE after he or she obtain lawful permanent resident status."
1. What does the SAME SOURCE mean here? Does the income need to come from the same employer? What if job changes or quit job after getting the greencard?
2. If the sponsor has sufficient income (above 125% poverty line), it is still a good idea to include the intending immigrant (i.e., the spouse)'s income in the annual household income and tax return 1040? Will it make the case stronger and get approved easier? Or it is not necessary or not too much help?
Thanks to Jackolantern for your above reply.
I have done medical exam for I-693. There is a typo on the date of my TD vaccination, which was written by the doctor based on the written record of my vaccine history that I provided before the medical exam. Do I need to go back and ask the doctor to correct it on the sealed I-693?
Also, in Part I, my information part, the doctor instructed me to sign when I finished my final follow-up examination, but the date right next to my signature box was pre-filled by the doctor with the date of my First examination. This date seems conflict with the instruction to Form I693, saying" Do not sign form or have the applicant sign in Part I until all health follow-up requirements have been met.) The date should be the same as the date of my follow-up examination when I signed. Am I right? Should I ask for correction of the date of my signature?
Does the date and minor typo matter?
(Side story: All the examination results are good. But the doctor only provide me a sealed envelop with the form but refused to provide me a copy of the complete and signed form for my own record because he thinks it is conflict with the law. Then I went back with the instruction to Form I-693, clearly showing that besides the sealed envelop and form, the doctor is required to provide a photocopy of the signed form to the applicant as a record. Finally, he agreed to give me the copy. Then I found out typos when I was back home...)
Thanks for help. Any input is appreciated.
what bigger problems to worry?
(side story: I remembered one of my friend applied for labor certificate but there was typo in the dates filled in the application form, USCIS rejected the application.)
