CR-1 Timeline help

I got my police check done, and just got my photos done today. Need to get a hold of my dentist to be my guarantor for my birth certificate, and I'll be on my dear husband's #### to get his transcript ready.

Question for you, did you guys use the I-864EZ? I know when I read on the forms that we can just use tax transcripts it sinks in, but I want to double check if that's right or not. We're not using any other assets as all his income is from work (so can therefore be shown on his W-2 and previous tax returns.)

And yeah, we'll be doing EP. Going to wait until NVC is ready to cough up some identification numbers before I send in my Opt-in though.

Why do you need a guarantor for your birth certificate? You can't just order it online or go in person somewhere?

I used the I-864EZ. If you're eligible (there's 3 criteria), then I'd suggest using it. It's a much shorter form than the I-864.

For tax information, it's either tax transcripts OR 1040s, W2s, and any other schedules if applicable. NVC (and most consulates/embassies) prefer the tax transcript.

And yes, you obviously can't optin to EP until you have a case number.

We're eligible for the EZ thankfully. I've already prepped all the paperwork... months ago, haha. Just needs to be updated. And yeah, apparently Mr. Husband ordered his tax transcripts already, I didn't even know - no nagging required
