I HAVENT DONE MY TAXES YET¹¹ DO THEY NEED THE 2008 TAXES DONE BEFORE WE GO TO THE EMBASSY? i always wait until october to do mine.

Yes, that is my understanding... I also wait until October... but not this year... grumble

[Rich and Bey 1]

Richard who will ask for the taxes to be done. Because once this process is over with the NOA2. who would ask for the taxes to be done then. I do not get it. because the embassy wants to see that the 2008 taxes are done first? i thought she brings the last twoo years and they never ask for that.

October? Why so long? Do file an extension every year?

Maire you are bored often. You need a hobby? or something to entertain you...

I do mine just to get it over with. I hate having things linger.

i want this process to end very soon. i am tired of this long process. i see all these januarys get approved and then it is so close to february with a few in february. i wonder how many from last week was approved and didnt say anything here. i think there should be a lot more.

After reading this board inside and out... I have come to the conclusion that I will bring everything (including the kitchen sink) to the interview... but most of it will not be needed or looked at. Judging from my experience at the Embassy in Warsaw back in April it is really up totally up to the CO that does the interview... and most are whiz-bang... done... Having said that.. I will take no chances and bring it all... just in case... I don't want to wait any longer than necessary.

Normally, I owe a significant sum to Uncle Sam... so I postpone the pain as long as I can... Although it generally costs me money to do so. I am trying to get better at it. I send all (most) of the info to an accountant now and they get it done... then she hounds me for more numbers... I get around to it (also after I do all my clients) and then they sit on my desk.... Yes, I file, 2 extensions each year.

Afternoon everyone!!! This place has been jumping while I was gone today!!

Sounds like everyone had a pretty good weekend! I'm off work today...had a doctors appointment and then had to go do some paperwork for that house we're trying to buy.

Maire - Almost there!! You'll be with your SO before you know it!!

I was going to do the "we are approved" bit again...but some people have thin skin when it comes to that. And I suspect that we will see the notice in the mail before we see it online.

[Richard-Joanna 1]

D_n_M, I heard something like 54 people were approved!

Great news.... When I get my approval it will be better news. Where did you "hear" about 54 people?
