Anyone has idea if I have to submit tax return for the 2013 during interview or W2 should work?

Since your interview date is April 2nd, it is unlikely that you will be asked for your 2013 tax return as 2013 tax year does not end until April 15, 2013. If in case you decided to bring it, you also need to bring an updated I-864 with the 2013 tax info, along with the 2013 tax transcript and corresponding W2. Hope this helps.

Patience is virtue, my friend. Everything happens for a reason.

Bring updated Federal income tax information to the interview. If a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) and provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal income tax extension in lieu of a Federal income tax return, bring the sponsor's most recent Federal income tax return to the visa interview.

That's wht says in my interview letter. Yes April 15 is the last date but officer can ask why your spouse don't file tax yet or can ask submit your tax return and delay your case

no you don't need to update I-864. If something like that then they have to explain in Interview letter "Bring your latest tax return with updated I-864" .

So, don't worry and just follow the instructions from letter. just take 2013 tax return on safer side.

Good luck.

VISA is approved......wow... :dancing::dancing::idea::goofy:

I would like to thank all you guys for sharing experience and answering my queries..VJ is really helpful in this journey...

Here is my experience.

My interview was @ Mumbai consulate. I reached there by 6:40 AM for 7:30 appointment. Around 6:45 one officer came and asked to form two lines for immigrants and non-immigrants. I was about 8th in the queue. And then officer checked I/L letter and passport in the queue itself.

Then I stand around 25 mins in the queue and around 7:15 they let us inside (Immigrant queue) the consulate.

Here they will do security checking and you should not carry and electronic device like mobile, USB. camera etc. After clearance they asked us to go in hall where they asked language (I choose English) and you have to go window to get token number.

After 10 mins my token number displayed and went to window where one Indian officer took my interview.

Who is calling you.

What is her address. (Full address)

What is she doing for living?

When she first went to US?

Have you ever visited US?

Have you visited any country except US?

Asked for medical, PCC and DS-260.

Gave paper reg Domestic violence and asked me to go through.

Then officer asked me to sit and wait for another call. After 10 mins my token displayed and I went to window where one American consulate greeted.

Though I selected English he asked few questions in my Native language ( I was surprised). and took my fingerprint and I read oath.

Then he started asking me few questions.

Who is calling you?

What is she doing?

Where is she leaving?

Did she ever visit Washington?

How many people attended your wedding?

Why such small number of people?

Love marriage or arranged marriage?

That's it. He said your visa is approved and gave instruction to pay fees $165. And said you can go home (relax) your visa will be delivered in 3 days at mentioned location on ustraveldocs.

He did not asked any sort of evidence. Consulate was very nice and polite and the key is be relaxed and answer in good manner. So I was out by 8:00 AM and entire process took around 45 mins.

Good luck to all you guys.
