oMG what a nightmare you can't put your faith in anyone theese days. Everything's just all about $$$$. What is this world coming to? Do you remember the days when a handshake and a promise meant something? I barely can!!! I think that's why I've become such a control freak. You just can't trust anyone to do anything. Unless you do it yourself. Thank God we are well informed. Imagine the people who aren't on VJ and don't even know any better? Thank God we have each other!!!! :)

Yes, I agree 10000000% Thank God for all the people here who take time to share what they have learned so that we may be with our family's ASAP :dancing:

MY DS260 is available YAY ! ! ! ! I just want to go home now and call my husband to complete it and submit. I CAN'T CONCENTRATE AT WORK TODAY !!!!

NVC said I do NOT need my divorce decrees in the IV package. I forwarded the message to the lawyers office since they are too busy to answer my call. Why is it that I know more than they do and it is their profession????? We should all work for immigration lawyers.

Told you, you would have done it better yourself! But it's going well for you anyway. :)

Fyi:

Tax transcripts can be obtained in person at any irs office. You will have them when you walk out.

Haha, hubby just off the phone. Although I had a draft 260 filled in , when doing the real one online there's lots of drop down menus for some questions. So have to sit by the phone to be on call until he gets it done. Should have done it myself really but my internet connection is playing up today. I've told him to make sure he dots the i's and crosses the t's. Don't want any silly mistakes. Lol

hubby is painting the house today so he is home but I can't keep texting him every 5 seconds with a new question.... I have to wait until I get home UGHHHHH I hate waiting !! so close yet SO FAR ! ! ! ! ! ahahahhahaahaaaa

I am on the lawyers office like glue. I am so sure they are sick of me hounding them. I don't feel bad. We paid ALOT of money and they haven't done anything yet.... They are good at ignoring me though.. I'll give them that

My last email was...." Our packages are going out tonight... right? please provide a tracking number this afternoon..

and I made sure to tell them the DS 260 will be completed TONIGHT." of course no response

Do call them, see if they're still scheduling interviews for your embassy/consulate. I had an April 3 case complete and apparently just missed the cutoff date for May interviews :rolleyes:

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me. I will do my best to find the right answers for you.


I should get our case number by the end of next week, so the sooner all this can get to me the faster our case will be approved.


Thank you so much for being a joint-sponsor we really do appreciate it.

:lol: Haha, aw! My husband and I were lucky, we were together when the DS-260 became available. I pulled up a chair and sat beside him while he went through it, but it was really just moral support. I hope your case complete comes quickly since they switched things up on you last minute!

So,

Do we have a final call on 2013 taxes or not?

I already have an extension on file for 2013 taxes.

I will include 2010, 2011 and 2012 tax transcripts and an employment verification letter satating my annual salary.

Is this going to be a problem? should I go and file my 2013 taxes and then amend once my wife gets here and gets a SSN (I file as head of household anyway)?

Any takers on this?

I am in the exactly same situation I remember writing my permanent address to be in Pakistan but they still gave me a case number which starts from RID which means Saudi Arabian Embassy and I am not even ad citizen over there I was just there for a visit! Well i called them we have paid both the fee and have submitted AOS that's all fine just dont submit the civil documents as yet because one rep told me that u shud wait before submitting civil documentscor else if the case gets completed before the email gets replied to we might have a longer delay. Keep me ipdated on your situation also plz!

OK, THANKS a LOT for info. :)

How long you been waiting for new case number? I see that some VJ waited 40 days to get case#. This is ridiculous :bonk: It shouldn't take so long, especially if they made a mistake. I will let you know.

If you have an extension that'll last you through to the end of the process I think you'll be ok, unless you're perilously close to the income guidelines. I'd include 2014 pay stubs to be safe, and maybe the last one from 2013 to show your full year income.
