Just got home and downloaded it. Will work on it tomorrow.

From a quick glance it looks correct with a few extra sections

of data that may be useful at the interview.

Yes wikisend is only good for 90 days.

Just a super quick way to share files.

Media fire uses activity based expiration on files

with a non pro account

Is the extra set of data part of the DS260? I created this DS260 word doc based on a pdf of screenshots from January, and the screenshots our paralegal created for us, end of March.

Thanks everyone for the congrats :D I'm a proud first-time momma. Of course I'm sad that my husband hasn't seen his daughter yet :(

Anyway

Is a marriage certificate required for the IV packet? I thought it was just the ID photo, police clearance, birth cert and passport biographic page? I check the NVC website and it says marriage certificate :s

It is required. You'll probably get checklisted and then you can submit it with a photo copy as well.

If not, then bring it with you to the interview. Good luck and congrats on the new baby!

We printed the 1864 form so we do not have the barcode on each page. As such:

Do you have to write the CASE NUMBER on each page in the upper right hand corner?

We typed in the info but not in CAPS, is it a requirement to fill the form out using CAPITAL letters?

I just filed my taxes, and I go to the IRS website to request a tax return transcript, and when I register with all my info I get a message saying

Registration: Error

The system cannot verify your identity to access your requested application at this time.
Why is this?

It takes time for the transcript to be available after you file the return. I am in the same situation, so I sent the following:

1. copy of the 2013 federal tax return - copy of ALL the pages (1040, 1099s, W-2, etc.)

2. Tax Transcripts for 2012 and 2011

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

I just looked at your timeline... your case as received at the NVC on March 17th..

I wonder why its taking so long to get a case number

You've had the good fortune of racing through the line here at NVC LoveMyTico, with an amazing and unusually quick access to your case number:) Which you truly deserve considering the hardship you went through with the USCIS stage!!

Everyone else is taking much longer than you to get their case number.

Our case- received March 6 and still no case number here either.

I'm hoping for this week if I'm lucky!

1: NO

2: NO

3: I put yes here as my wife going to get her medical and vaccination before interview anyways

4 It doesn't ask for mother's maiden name on form it just ask your mother's name , so my wife put her name after marriage

4. Mother's surname at BIRTH. The surname she was born with. So yes it would be her maiden name, Not the name she took after marriage.

Thanks so much for the reply guys. Have a couple of more questions about DS 260:

1. When i enter my current employment and go to next page, it asks for previous employment for 10 years (STARTING FROM MOST RECENT ONE), so should i enter my current again and then earlier ones?

2. Regarding my earlier employments, a couple of companies have been acquired by new company so my company no longer exists, so which company name should i give here?

3. One of the company has changed its location so that means address and phone numbers has changed, so which address i should refer to (as old address where i worked no longer valid)?

2. Regarding my earlier employments, a couple of companies have been acquired by new company so my company no longer exists, so which company name should i give here?

3. One of the company has changed its location so that means address and phone numbers has changed, so which address i should refer to (as old address where i worked no longer valid)?

4. Obviously i know full names of my supervisors but i don't know their surnames and firstnames, should i just put in their names here? OR i should click 'I Don't know'

5. Also, regarding where i lived since the age of sixteen, since i have worked in different companies, so none of the place was permanent (i kept switching places where rent was less ;) ), so what addess should i put in? [and i have worked abroad also for few mothns, so what addess should i put in here? , should i give my employer's address?]

PLS ANSWER.... THANKS
