As Peter says, K1 is not a option for you because you're married. F2A will convert to immediate relative (either CR1 or IR1) once you become a US citizen. CR1/IR1 is generally superior from the perspective of the immigrant spouse.

While you were unmarried, you were either an immediate relative if under age 21, or family preference F1 if 21 or older. Because you married, you are now in the family preference F3 category, which has a much larger backlog and a much longe

It's interesting to compare a European perspective with an American one. In the US, the train stations I've seen range from unremarkable to downright filthy. The one station I found interesting was New York Penn Station, which I w

For the sake of completeness, it important to recognize that muni money market funds exist, such as VMSXX, VCTXX, and VYFXX. My impression is that the current yields of these funds are not high enough to justify for most taxpayers, compared

What actually happened is that Form 1040 got sliced into multiple pages. Going from 2017 to 2018, the 1040 went from 79 lines [1] to 23 lines [2]. The remaining 50 or so lines? Moved to Schedules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So if your return had
