Re: Living in US with bank accounts in UK

Thanks for all the advice.

I am now sure I need to send in the FBAR for 2010 and 2011. From what I've read, I could face a penalty for sending the 2010 one in late.

I'm now trying to find...

Re: Living in US with bank accounts in UK

Ok - looks like I may need to submit the FBAR - anyone know whether a person on an E2 needs to? Will call the helpline to check if no one on here can confirm.

Re: Gathering documents for AOS interview - questions

We have a strong feeling that at interview they will want further evidence of my husband being eligible to be my sponsor, financially. Believe we only sent most recent W2 when we sent off our forms...

Re: Tax - we live in separate states - can we file jointly?

Thank you both for your replies. I suspected it might be a case of Turbo Tax not quite being able to figure out our situation, or us not using Turbo Tax correctly (very likely!) Good to know we can...

Re: Applying for GC - employment/money question...

Sorry - one more question: the amounts of income listed - are they gross or net amounts?

Re: Applying for GC - employment/money question...

Thank you. That's a relief to know that we have that money as a safety net. I am going to read those forms/instructions now. I appreciate all your help.

Re: Applying for GC - employment/money question...

Thank you for the very clear example. We do have savings - but they are in a bank account in my name in the UK. Presumably the account could be put into my husbands name also - but not sure if that...

Re: Applying for GC - employment/money question...

Thank you.

Hopefully we won't need a joint sponsor.

As I've said - my husband will (hopefully) earn just about the amount stated for a household of two. I do notice that it says that...

Re: Applying for GC - employment/money question...

Thanks, yes I saw that it could be a friend rather than a relative. It's so frustrating, as my family in England could easily be sponsors.

What does a sponsor actually have to do? (Other than...

Thanks for the info. I think the answer will be for my husband to go back to full time hours to ensure he earns enough.

Re: Applying for GC - employment/money question...

How do we show current income? Payslips? My husband could take on more hours at his job, but I don't know if it's too late to do so now.

I don't think we do know anyone. Parents are deceased...
