Just saw this on a thread and thought I'd share here too as it's relevant. You can now get the IRS tax transcripts online (no longer need to wait to receive it by mail)!! Look here: http://www.irs.gov

My comment was not ignorant at all. I simply asked the person what they honestly thought it meant. That others thought my comment was funny had no basis on my asking if the person could understand w

Saylin and KrispyKreme, I moved over here also. I paid the AOS fee 0f $88 and it cleared my bank on 12/31/2013. so I am hoping I get my next update early next week. My only worry is so many filipines have been expedited I

worry about open interview dates. I just pray the I-130's have some preference. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and Good luck everyone ..

I finally got home and read my NOA2..In the first paragraph, It reads that they sent a cable to the consulate listed above to notify them of the approval of the petition. But there's no consulate listed above..So what does this mean?

On the back of my NOA2, it reads if this notice indicated we are notifying U.S. Consulate about the approval for visa issuance, and you or the person you have filed for have questions about visa issuance, please contact the appropiate U.S. Consulate directly..

Thanks for any insights..

Any knowledge thrown my way today would be much appreciated..

NVC IV review stage requires a non expired PPC. Again if you do clear the NVC IV review before the PPC expires, chances are your police report might expire by the time of interview. In which case they will ask for a new one.

Might as well get a new one and send it along with your IV documents to begin with.

Good Luck
