My friend returned to Texas this morning, after two weeks in the Far East with his......wife. Yeah, they got married. He went to the US Embassy and found out that his paperwork was just sent out from there on December 20. He says that someone at the Embassy, someone who works there, told him that he can just send back the K-1 paperwork and they will treat it as a K-3, now that he is married. I'm no expert, but this sounds a little off beat to me.

Also, he is thinking that, since he got married before the end of the year, he can claim his wife on his 2008 income taxes. Does it still work that way, when you marry a foreign national?
