Guys I have a question regarding the interview letter where it says..

***IMPORTANT *** Interview Reminders

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.

Do my husband (the beneficiary )need to bring an updated federal tax information and a new I-864 on his interview day from the sponsor and joint sponsor? I being the petitioner and my brother the joint sponsor, we both filed are tax return last april..and there is no changes on any information we already put on the I-864 we submitted before..

Mai, it's a good question. My AOS was approved on April 15th with 2010, 2011, and 2012 data. My interview letter said the exact same thing as yours did. So I printed out my 2013 tax transcript and FBAR filing, and was ready to turn these over at my spouse's interview. I had also prepared a "new" I-864 with the 2011, 2012 and 2013 data.

The data checker clerk and the interviewer never even asked for them.

I *THINK* this request is only for those who filed a 2013 extension and submitted proof of their extension filing in their AOS. The consulate expects that those extension filers have actually filed their 2013 by now.

If your AOS was submitted with 2011, 2012, and 2013 data, there IS no update, and you should be fine. I think it is standard language.

Can I ask someone for a big favor?

We are immigrating next Tuesday at JFK. For some reason, my profile here on VJ is stuck on POE: Chicago, and no matter what I do, I cannot see the reviews for POE: JFK

If someone would mind taking a quick peek at the JFK reviews for say, the last six months, specifically for IR-1/CR-1 visas, and let me know if there are any roadblocks we should prepare for?

Not sure if JFK has the specific "Immigration" line or not. I was hoping that the two of us could front up in the US Citizen's line together, and then they'd take Julie to secondary to process her forms. Of course, we'll ask the person who is shunting folks into the appropriate lines when we get there, but I was hoping to have some background data....

Many thanks. I've written Captain Ewok for help, but I'm not sure the Captain can fix my profile in time!

Thanks, CBanks, but when I click on this link, it takes me to Chicago listings. It's a problem specifically with my profile - but I appreciate the thought!

There should be a drop-down menu just above the first review and below the banner ad. Just in case here are all the JFK POE reviews for past 6 months.

Thanks for listing all of these! I'm well aware of the drop-down menu. I've tried about 10 different entries on the drop-down, and I still get Chicago. I've tried typing the direct URL for JFK on the top line, and still get Chicago. It's definitely something on my profile....

The $230 was the IV (Immigrant Visa) fee paid at NVC. The $165 will be for the actual production of the green card. two separate things.

You will pay the $165 (its not a visa processing Visa its the Green card processing fee) which they call the Immigrant fee on the ELIS website http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis anytime after your interview up to a year you have.

Thanks a bunch! I think I've been reading things over and over so much I had a brain fart, lol :P

OMG, well, I should be celebrating the fact that we got an August 5th interview, however, this date really isn't going to work for us as I'm scheduled for surgery next Friday and I'm not gonna be able to fit my medical in between times so I'm gonna have to call tomorrow and try and reschedule ... sheesh, straight from a high to a low :cry:

I would suggest you email the embassy once they receive the case, state the dates you cannot attend an interview and attach the corroborating medical documents. You might get any of the following three replies:

a) They postpone your interview, or

b) They bring it forward (would be great), or

c) (and they did this with my wife's B1/B2 visa a few years back) They'll keep the interview date and just ask for your passport to stamp the visa on it. Doubt they'll do that with an IV, but who knows. They might just go through your documents and decide just that.
