Hi! We're kinda in that group! Is there still hope for a May interview if cases get completed by mid-April? Our lawyer's office still haven't finished submitting the DS260 (so frustrating), but hopefully they'll do so today. I'm nervous about having an interview scheduled anytime between mid-June through mid-July, as Rio is hosting the World Cup (soccer). Besides being expensive and a nuisance to travel anywhere in Brazil during that time, especially to/from Rio, it's potentially dangerous.

If we get our case complete mid-April, who should we be calling to try and get our interview in May? (Consulate or NVC - sorry if it's written somewhere, this time I didn't research). Thank you

As far as I know (and others should correct me), I don' think you can negotiate with NVC about interview dates. Once NVC schedules the interview, you can call the embassy/consulate and try to pre-pone it if they have a slot open.

Hope we all get done with NVC very very soon.

Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

For I-864, if you are submitting tax transcripts then you do not need to submit any other schedules or attachments. If you do not have a tax transcript, then you need to submit the whole tax filing package (1040, and all the schedules) plus W2 etc.

Ah thank you so much!!! :dancing:

Just got off the phone with NVC and they said I've a checklist. They need me to submit the original birth certificate and marriage certificate, and that certified true copies are not accepted. Did u guys submit the originals? Do u think I can get a supervisor review to accept the certified copies and submit the originals at the interview? Thanks. My iv was logged on 20 mar.

Is it a certified copy from the entity that issued it? i.e. the registrar of that city? Certified copies are acceptable (what if someone doesn't have the original anymore?). If it was just a notarized copy that you got, then no it is not a certified copy.

I have a question about Individual Income in 864. Is this the gross income in W2?

They don't want the amounts from your W2, they want the amounts from your tax returns. Use adjusted gross income from the 1040EZ if you filed it, or total income from your 1040/other form.
