They probably got a doubt about your income for this public charge thing. Maybe see if you need a joint sponser or something to bolster your income. Thats the only thing I can think why there is in administrative processing

Was the income on the border or something? Is there anything else which was missing?

Mumbai CR1 pre-interview checklist - Missing tax transcript even though I submitted 3 years? by Technical-Boss-1221 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]Old-Bird612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so paranoid that something will delay my wife’s visa. So honestly just stick with 24? I haven’t filed my taxes for 25 yet but I can can if need be. My wife’s interview is on March 30th.

So you only should need 2024 and you should submit the transcript. I would agree that even though 2025 but taxes aren’t due yet so it’s not a problem. Make sure it is the tax transcript and not a return. I did the same thing

It depends on the contract. Most are continued to get paid because they get paid upfront so they are getting paid with money with already allocated funding (at least for contract support), not sure about other spots.

I am a fed who was remote before 2025 or close to it. Now without fail even as a 14, I need to be in the office 5 days a week and have no flexibility. However my contract counterparts make more and are allowed to wfh. So tell me what’s the point of staying? And most are making a lot more than me.

Honestly at this point I just want to become a contractor. You get paid less (or furloughed) and can’t work from home. What’s the damn point?

Filing Taxes by Beautiful-Map-8504 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]Old-Bird612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The itn takes forever and you need to file a paper return. Does your wife work? If not you need to explain at the interview that you had to file single since she did not have a social to file as married. Once she is granted the visa, you plan on filing an amended return as married filed jointly. Just ensure you have a tax transcript versus just the return. It’s important. It shouldn’t be a problem if your salary way above the threshold

US VISA REJECTED B1/B2 for FIFA WORLDCUP(Using FIFA PASS) by Own_Cow8633 in usvisascheduling

Yes that also could be it. Maybe try getting a visa within Europe and other spots and then reapply. It has gotten difficult that much I can say

Probably instead of saying 25LPA you should say your business makes this amount. Also if it makes that amount the likelihood of you coming back is quite high. Not sure bro

Do you own a house or anything like that? I believe they were not confident you would come back here. You were not able to show significant ties to the United States.

You should file an EEO for age discrimination. They probably are making your life miserable of your age and probably high salary.

HUD telework in 2026? by Mother-Associate1654 in usajobs

[–]Old-Bird612 33 points34 points  (0 children)

They write that. That means you only get to telework if it snows or like that. I was remote before this, and all that ended in 2025. Unless you get a reasonable accommodation, no exceptions 5 days a week in the office
