fiance received packet 3....couple questions...

[Melissa1 0]

Ok first, on the nonimmigrant visa application(DS156) what does he put on question 26 how long do u intend to stay in the U.S.? I mean permanently is the plan but can he simply put that?

For two, does he have to have everything on the checklist actually done before he can return the packet? or is it ok if it's all there in time for the interview?

And the last one, I think, can he make the appointment and go to his medical before he has an inteview date? And is there anything he has to bring with him to the appointment?

Thanks if anyone can help!

Oh an also, sorry one more thing. Can I just get a copy of my tax returns from my accountant for last year for him to bring to the interview? Or do i actually need to call the IRS and have them sent to me? Thanks!

Question one: Permanently apon AOS approval.

Question Two: Montreal takes forever send it back and start gathering documents asap

Question Three: Bring the coverletter of Packet Three that has her MTL number on it, and her vaccination records. And you can make that appt. anytime it's good for a year.

On the tax return question: the IRS sends tax transcripts for free and it doesn't take much time to get them.

I don't know about the tax stuff, but as far as the forms go, the example ones on this site are really helpful. I used them often when filling out those forms (and again for AOS). Glad to hear packet 3 finally got there!

You can definitely send it back before you have everything on the checklist. I think most people do. You'll have lots of time to get everything done. Better to send it back asap than wait to get everything together since Montreal has quite a bit of a wait for interviews.

Do they now want only the last years tax returns or do they still want the last 3 years?? Will 2005 returns work?? I mean at what time are they going to want 2006 returns as the last year instead of 2005??

Ha, make any sense??

1: exactly.

2: IMHO, have your documents in hand before sending back the packet, or the vast majority of it. I had everything but the medical packet in hand (but I knew I would have it within the week) when I sent back my checklist. If I was still waiting for more stuff, I would have held off on sending it in. That's jsut me.

3: you have to have the medical completed before the visa interview. In fact, you're supposed to have the medical completed before sending back packet three. Call the appropriate doctor that covers your area, and they will tell you what documents, etc. to bring. Don't forget the medical fee!

4: if you have filed your 2006 tax returns already (and I highly doubt you have! ) then no worries about including 2006 yet. If, however, you do not get the visa interview until after you have filed the 2006 tax forms, then you would include that with your documents.
