I have questions/ concerns about my wife's H4 from Islamabad.
Here is my scenario December 07 I was in Khi to attain my brother's wedding few days after I had my nikkah (registered Marriage) done a day before my coming back to US. I plan to have rukhsati (formal ceremony) in end of July08.
My 6th year H1 is expiring in Dec08 and my perm is approved in EB2. My attorney suggested me to only file I-40 (which was filed in May08) and hold I-485 until August to file it together with my wife.
My questions:
1- Tax 07 - I already submitted my tax as head of household adding my mother as dependent.
Since nikkah happen last year. Do I have to add my spouse? and change filling status to married instead of head of household.
Will it be issue for my spouse if visa officer looks in tax return docs that I did not add her as my spouse and I file tax as head of household?
Should I send amendment to my tax or leave it as it is?
2- Did anyone applied for immigration for you (my wife): What should I put here should it be no. My I-140 is filed and my wife's name is in it but I-485 is not filed yet.
3- Pictures- Unfortunately my nikkah happen so fast and quite way that I do not have any pictures of the occasion.I know VO always ask for pics. Should the pic from formal cermony (mehndi, rukhsati, and valima) be enough? how does the folks who did phone nikkah manage this situation?
Please help .
