Just got my checklist email the day after my documents were reviewed. Actually impressed by the NVc's speed with this one.

My worry is now that if i make the changes but because I don't have the old documents i may make a mistake with something else and cause another :/

1) You should check the box that says you are unemployed and put the date you became unemployed. 2) You won't be counting your father as a household member, so don't include him or his income in Par

Does anyone have an example of a statement for my wife explaining why she's doesn't have 2013 tax returns as she was a student that year?

Does anyone have an example of a statement for my wife explaining why she's doesn't have 2013 tax returns as she was a student that year?

I am the USC. Although I am not a student, I live abroad with the beneficiary and I have no income. Here is what I did. We got our CC without checklist.

  • I printed off and supplied Excerpt from IRS tax law, Publication 554, table 1-1.2013 filing requirements, appropriately highlighted
  • I included my tax filings for the foreign country showing that I did not claim sufficient income in the foreign country/currency to file US taxes.
  • I back-filed my taxes with the US IRS for the last 3 years and included copies of those as well as included a written explanation from me stating that due to recently filing US taxes to be in good standing that there were not any tax transcripts to include, but if I had them at the time of the interview that I would provide them as well as copies. In my explanation I also made mention why I was not earning income.
  • For good measure, I contacted a US based tax preparer and asked them for a signed letter on their letterhead stating that i did not need to file taxes due to not meeting the filing requirements.

What I included could be much more than what they need, but I wanted to get as much included as possible and give us a better chance of not getting a checklist over something like that. Hope that helps!

How far out was your interview scheduled for?

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

My mom is sponsoring for my grandma through IR5 visa. Her case number is 5 number after my wife case but somehow i was able to access to fill out ds-261 and pay AOS fee already while my wife's case is still showing error message when i log in. Is it normal? Maybe they forgot to enter my case information into the system? Should i just call them on monday. Im so upset right now. :(
