INTERVIEW DATE!! FINALLY!

[Dayna 0]

Well, today I received an email from the Consulate in Ankara, Turkey for my husband's interview date.

It is scheduled for March 27 at 10:00am.

The email also gave a list of what to bring to interview, which I knew already what they would need.

But they are also asking for my 2005 taxes - 1040 & W2s. I had sent my 2005 tax transcripts from the IRS

with the packet of all my husband's documents last week, why are they asking for it again?

I am a little nervous, since in 2005 I only made $14,500 in income and $6,000 in unemployment compensation.

I was laid off in my job in January 2005. But my total gross income was $21,000, which is over the federal

poverty level of 2 persons ($16,000). I am wondering which they will consider my income, the $14,500 or the

$21,000?? My current job pays well over the poverty level and I included a letter from my employer stating

my income, so why do they want my tax info again?

I had consulted a lawyer 6 months ago and he said as long as my current salary is over the poverty level,

it should not matter what my previous years income was.
