This site has been very helpful in helping me file the paperwork and prepare for the next step. I have an interview at the ATL DO in 1 week, and I have discovered a few potential problems.
1. The accountant who filed my 2004 tax return put me in as single, even though she had all our info. She said that it was okay since I married in August of last year which is less than half the year. (I don't know what she was talking about). If I file an amendment, I would owe close to $900
2. My wifes 2004 return is nowhere to be seen, and the IRS printouts are unlikely to make it in time. She does however have 2003 return, and 2004 W2s
3. When my parents came over for a visit in the summer, they took the few wedding pics we had of the civil ceremony. Now my wife can't find the copies.
Other than that we have everything else
Joint bank acct
Joint lease
Joint auto and life insurance
joint telephone bill
Same credit card acct
all necessary ID and immigration docs
Also, I started grad school in VA this fall so my wife has been pretty much living alone in GA. However all my bills go to the GA address.
So what do you guys think? Do I have a potential problem. Do I need to get a high priced attorney, considering I can't afford one.
