Ya, my log in said The next step is to file DS-261 Choice of agent blah blah blah.. some one needs to check their e-mail and push the button to get us going. It's getting beyond ridiculous.

wonder if someone needs a lesson in how to push buttons? I could help them out with that...

It's always 2inches by 2inches for this process. Everything needs to be in US sizes as you're dealing with US immigration.

Easter is not a federal holiday mainly due to the whole separation of church and state. It is a state holiday in some states but at the federal level it is like any other day. The next federal holiday coming up is Memorial day on the last monday in May.

Yeah... it's easy to get confused about the separation of church and state when the government takes off Christmas!

Oh, if you have foreign income, then it doesn't matter. My bad!

And you have a house in the US already?

Not really, we can use my parents house, but we don't own one ourselves.

transcripts will take 6 weeks before they can be generated after filing. We don't want to wait that long if not necessary.

You can use your parent's house for your own assets?

And yeah, if you don't get the tax transcripts in time, then the entire tax return is sufficient. But make sure you have the transcripts in time for the interview.

Ours didn't take that long Last year, my husband filed his taxes (which first went to the ITIN department so I could get a number) mid-March. He got the refund sometime near the end of April, requested the transcripts immediately, and had the transcript in hand exactly one week later, just in time for my interview on May 3rd.

You can get the 2009 and 2010 transcripts now.

I hope it doesn't take too long :\ I'm thinking I'll have a May interview... I don't want to show up without that transcript. Just in case, could I bring a print out of his entire return?

It adds more time because his paperwork needs to get sent to Hawaii, then he has to send them to me. When he requested his 2010 transcript it took like two weeks

I'm thinking you'll have a May interview as well.

When were the taxes filed?

And yeah, if you don't have the tax transcript in time, then the entire tax return is sufficient.

He hasn't filed yet. If I presure him about it he'll go into brat-mode. Sorry dear, Skyrim can wait an hour.

Yeah, I'd tell him to get on that. He'll have to do it this week or next to have any kind of chance of getting the transcripts in time for your interview. Paper processing takes awhile, especially near the tax deadline, when most people seem to submit their taxes.
