You will be required to submit copies of your returns (or IRS Transcripts thereof) for the most recent 3 years if I remember properly.

I would get those filed quickly, and request IRS transcripts for them right away.

Best of luck!

Just as I thought!

Thank you and I will do just that!

Wait for the packet 3 from USM- Tokyo.. From there she can starts submitting online application and pay visa fees before she can sets her interview. She can starts gathering civil documents , police clearance and medical examination once packet 3 receives.

Good luck on your journey!

Hello all,
First things first, we got NOA2 on August 15th!! :joy: Thank you all for the words of encouragment. Now just hoping I don't mess up any paperwork!
Speaking of which... we are still waiting on the fist packet to arrive, is there anything that I can get ready in advance?
Also, for any of you who are/were also living abroad, how do I pass as a sponser? We have a joint sponser, but I also have to be one, right? How does that work? And how much money do I need in an American bank account?
I've been good about filing my Federal taxes each year (a bit late but done yearly), but I haven't filed state taxes in almost 10 years. Any advice?

I am also looking into medicals and I saw that the Tokyo medical and surgical clinic has the option of picking up the results the same day at 5pm for a 8000 yen fee.

Ok, so my husband did his medical at Seibo and picked up the results the next day after 4pm, no extra charge :)
