  1. Do you know the reason for the white slip? What does the white slip say exactly? Did you goto Guangzhou? Did you attend American Citizen hour? What evidence did your lady bring for the interview? and it's very doubtful that the senator can help you. You need to find out the exact reason for the denial in order to refile, study the issue, understand the issue then have a resolution for the issue.

     

    First, I have read a lot of posts saying that it doesnt help if i go to American Citizen Hour after my wife got the denial letter.

    Second, you are right. It is a wast of time to look for the House representative who one of the most respectful congrossman. That is what i have done. The US consolute even didn't tell the the House representative the reasons for denial. In this case, How can i find out the reasons?

    Third, the consolute GuangZhou may just make up the reasons whatever they want. The reasons may not be accuate.

  2. my lady got a white slip. That is so sad.

    Does anyone know that if i can ask help from a senator or a represenative?

    Did anyone try to re-apply? At the same appealling the petition.

    Did anyone succeed by applying another application?

  3. The reason that the OP's wife got the white slip may not be related to the IRS filing. That is just speculation. A white slip is serious, and as previously advised get a reputable and experienced attorney.

     

    Wait for the actual NOID. It will specifically list all of the reason that the CO cited for the denial. Then work with the attorney in responding to the ACTUAL REASONS.

     

    The NOID is going to tell me why the visa is denied.

  4. I highly doubt it that ' single ' status on IRS tax return filing be an issue .

    To get a white slip , there has to be some compelling reason that this is a marriage entered for immigration purpose only.

    On the surface , it looks good but who knows what the reality is . Can you explain in detail what the consular officer interviewed of your wife ??? what her answers are ??? From the interview , you can probably guess what most likely reason for white slip.

     

    The interview asked:

    How did we meet, When

    How do we keep in contact?

    Do we hold wedding ceremony?

    Whether my wife belonged to a communist party?

     

    And then, take a look at the pictures

     

    Then gave my wife a white slip. That is all.

    My wife answered the questions correctly. I believe the decision had benn determined.

  5. Well just some advice - when you get married you become "married", and if you are US citizen with Income you file income tax returns. If you are married, as others have pointed out you have two choices...Married/Joint or Married filing Separately. There is no choice to file as single. This filing is WRONG! Why wouldn't we ALL DO THIS and escape marriage penalties, means tests for Medicare Costs the myriad of other "I gotcha's" in the US taxation and legal system. You were married. You failed to properly file the correct income tax returns. As other's have said....this is the most likely cause, in the absence of other information.

     

    How to fix? Did you have a 'TAX PREPARER" fill out the forms for you? If yes -- it is easy to file amended returns --- and in the explanation of why you are amending is that the "Incorrect filing status" was suggested by the preparer and you now realize that this is incorrect. If you filled them out yourself - then claim that tax accountants recommended or said it didn't matter and you now understand that it does matter. (for a lot more reasons than immigration)

     

    Amending returns is easy...but you need to figure out "this time" whether to file "jointly" or married and separately. Since you filed in the US, Jiu Jin San, I will assume you had US income and your wife did not. If this is the case it's easy to just amend - joint and move on. If she has income in China or in the US then your job will be a bit more complicated....in that you need to have her information - and figure out if you want to make a "first year election - for her to be treated as subjected to US Income Tax, or not, and if that might trigger some increase in taxes. It's a series of "step/decisions" to go through - all part of the SIMPLE US TAX CODE.

     

    As others have suggested - you need to see the reasons for the rejection - most likely one of the key elements was tax filing "non-compliance" - and then work the issues. Fixing the tax returns is the EASY part -- waiting for the IMMIGRATION INFORMATION and refiling is the HARD PART. BesT OF LUCK.

     

     

    There IS a third option - which is to simply OVERPAY your taxes. When you do this, you avoid paying any penalties, interest, or late fees.

     

    When you file singly when your spouse has no reportable income, you are in a HIGHER BRACKET than if you had filed jointly or married filing separately. You thus OVERPAY your taxes. The IRS doesn't exactly thank you for the extra money, but they WILL return it with no questions asked (or any interest paid) when you file an amended return.

     

    The primary reason why someone on this board may want to do this (and several have) is when they have neither an SSN or TIN for their spouse. There is NO penalty involved for claiming single status, but there IS a penalty for filing late

     

    It may or may not be "wrong", but when there is no penalty whatsoever - well, that's why they allow amended returns.

     

    So in my view, he is fine with the IRS, but agree that filing the amended returns is needed for immigration purposes.

    I got to take action to correct the tax return right away.

  6. I went to Chinatwon in San Francisco. I asked the Accountant saying it is the matter of doing my tax return. it is not related my petition. I also asked the Service Agent also said the same thing.

    The service Agent 's address is: 1339-1341 Stockton St, #A, SF, CA. Actually it is in Chinatown of San Francisco.This Agent knows nothing. If anyone is in San Francisco, Don't ask help from this crap.

     

    If the problem if the Tax return, then, Is it possible to amend the rax turn? Because I know it is possible to amend the tax return for prior years.

     

    I'm guessing this was NOT an official IRS office. I went to the IRS website and found it's local office in SF is here:

    450 Golden Gate Ave.

    San Francisco, CA 94102

    Phone: (415) 522-4061

     

    As for amending your return, I suggest you contact this office first and go from there.

    i have been here before.

  7. Additinal information: We got married in 2009-8, then when i filed a tax return in 2010 for 2009. i have asked many service agents who saying it doesn't matter if i claimed the status as single on my tax turn. So, i clamed as a single. after reading many posts in this website, i saw some guys saying that claiming the status as single on the tax turn is a "red flag".Is it the problem caused the denial. If it is the case, How can i fix this mess?

     

    I wonder who was giving you that advice. My very limited understanding is if you are legally married, even if the ceremony occurred in a foreign country, at the end of the tax year (in your case, 2009); then your status would be married. The option then would be to file separately or jointly.
