Joanna -- We had a binder too! This is what I gave to the lady at Window #3....

I-134

Taxes -- I gave them 2002, 2003 & 2004 (but I had copies going back to 1999 with me). Copies of my actual return along with a copy of the W-2 AND the original "transcript" from the IRS.

Bank Statements -- From the past 12 months -- highlighted the direct deposit of my paycheck every week and all the deposits made.

Employment Letter

Bank Verification Letter -- Stating present balance and date opened.

Additional Things That Were Required (from what I can remember)

Police Record -- Original

Passport Photos (4)

Birth Record -- Original

In my binder I had with me (just in case): Copy of I-129F, Originals of my NOA1 & NOA2, anything that Roy picked up at the Embassy (Packet 3 & Packet 4), ALL my phone records, a notarized I-865 (really, just in case) and all my tax records (my originals and copies).

.....nobody ever asked me for another thing......I wanted to be much more prepared than I needed to. Remember, I'm the ####### one. And I think I would have just died if I left something at home because I didn't think they would ask for it.....I had EVERYTHING with me. :lol:

Hello all,

To those of you that have been through the process already, I have a question...I am bored so I thought I would get papers together (I hate waiting till the last minute for anything) for the interview......

What stuff did you turn in at the interview as far as the tax stuff, I just did my 2005 taxes a couple weeks ago and my statement is 16 pages long...DO they want all of that??

My personal income stuff is a couple pages but add in the stuff that I deducted for my business it is about 16 pages long....I am going to use my business as income evidence because my full time job I make well enough over the 125% poverty guidelines.

Thanks everyone and I am sure I will have more questions as time goes on....I am so glad I have all of you to ask questions to.

Joanna

I had the last three years tax returns. They kept the most recent. Looking to see if my w2's match my tax statments. They only looked at the pages with the numbers/ grids, if I were you I would take it all. Most likely they won't look at it all

Hello family.

Dee - your pictures are very pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Ms. Squitto - I love the jeans and red shirt idea.

Take care everyone.

Dee - I meant to say - your pictures are very nice. It's time for me to go home :wacko:

Thanks (F)
