can you tell me what evidence did you bring to the interview?

sorry, I don't have computer right now so can't post long post. . But I posted what I prepare for the evidence packet earlier. You can search my profile for my previous posts. Also dress more formal to the interview helps to give a better immediate impression. Good luck!

Congrats and so happy for all the approvals. June has been a great month for VJ!

Hello Everyone...

My wife's interview went OK, except for the part where they found out that I messed up. I sent her the 2009 tax returns and forgot to include the W2s. How dumb of me!! I've been kicking myself ever since she told me that. But she did say that they told her to go home and email the W2s and that they will send out the passport and POE packet as soon as they receive the email. I hope I havent delayed the process too much by this one big ####-up!! :angry:

I'm so mad at myself right now.

P.S. I already sent her the email with the W2s. She's going to send it in by noon EST. Does anyone know if she will get an auto-reply to her email? How good are they at responding to queries? How long do they usually take?

So until she receives her package in the mail, I guess I cant celebrate... bummer :(:(

This is only one hurdle... you are going to celebrate soon.

Make sure that she put NVC case number or any receipt number that embassy has given her.

Congratulations is on the way. :thumbs::dance:

Q - Did you send her the tax return or Tax transcripts from IRS? (I think with tax transcripts you don't need to send in W2)
