April 2015 Interviews

[spousewaitingvisa 39]

just a quick question...

My spouse's interview is scheduled for April 1. I sent my 2013 tax transcripts to NVC. In I-864, i mentioned 2013 tax as my latest return when I sent it to NVC last December.

Now, I filled my 2014 tax return last week...

Should I ask my spouse to take updated I-864 (with 2014 tax info on it) along with 2014 tax returns to the interview ? OR is it sufficient to just take 2014 tax returns without the updated I-864?

My spouse's interview letter said to bring my recent tax (2014) and new updated I-864 if I already filed my 2014 tax return to the IRS. I already filed it to the IRS. I already filled out the new I-864 and will give it to my spouse so she will bring it to the interview.

Actually, I got a new job and started it last year. I discarded my joint sponsor's I-864 and completed the new I-864 (added 2014) recently with 2014 tax returns and employment letter/W2s/paystubs.

It's all about timing when its about a interview date. The window of scheduling is about 2 weeks. Then its closed until the next month.

Argh really? My cc is 3/13 so I missed scheduling for April...grr

our interview is scheduled on the april 6 and our interview letter did not ask for the new returns. i spoke with my para legal lady she said to send my husband the copy of w2's, paystubs and employee verification letter so he can show that as the evidence if they ask

Dear DK2014

I took all tax return with me and i took 2014 tax return.

And i asked my husband if the embassy asked about the 2014 tax return he told me to show and my husband said tell the CO that we my husband going to post the 2014 tax.

But the CO didn't asked about the tax.

She asked about the annual income about my husband as per the 2013 tax return information i answered.

And CO asked how many times we met after getting know each other and wedding date, the places that we visited, whether i am employed like basic stuff.

I guess the CO is sri lankan with an American accent.

She's was like my mothers age and i think she might have kids on my age...lol

Good luck and god bless to all my VJ friends.

So, I had my biometrics appointment on 17th march , 4 pm at bombay. It hardly took more than 5 minutes. But the waiting was so long, You need biometrics appointment letter, interview letter, ds260 confirmation copy , your original passport and 2 photos 2x2 size with white background. Just like you do at POE in usa, Place four fingers of each hand on scanner , one after another and then both the thumb together. Give your 2 passport size photos (2x2). also get your photo taken from canon dslr. lol. It is so hot there , when you are waiting in line , there is no shade outside.

Next day interview at 7:30 am, I knew about the prohibited things, so I had no coins or any digital items with me, did not take wallet inside but kept rupees notes in my pocket, I had 2 harmonium files along with a big wedding album. It was hard to carry everything but somehow I managed. The file structure was
1 . black harmonium file for all the documents except proof of relationship.
pocket 1. interview letter
pocket 2. passport
pocket 3. pcc & marriage certificate
pocket 4. birth certificate
pocket 5. medical report and vaccination records
pocket 6. tax return 1 ( my wife's tax return, 2012, 13 , 14) , w-2s , paystubs of last 2 months)
pocket 7 tax return 2( my tax return of 2012,13,14 from usa and india)
pocket 8 education degrees , old i-20s from my student visa
pocket 9 employment details (offer letters, experience letters, resignation letter)
pocket 10 forms , print of of i-130 , ds 260 , g-325a
pocket 11 receipts i-797s of my work permits from usa
pocket 12 Misc , ( docs related to my work permit of usa, copy of my usa driving license, ssn card)
you dont need to take all the things from above, its case specific.
2 . blue harmonium file for proof of relationship.
pocket 1. photos
pocket 2. marriage invitation cards
pocket 3. facebook updates
pocket 4. emails and chats

pocket 10 gift receipts
pocket 11 greeting cards we sent to each other
pocket 12 hotel bills from the trip we took together.
Dont worry if you dont have so many things for proof of relationship. you can collect what you have and take to the interview.
So , first i was called by an Indian officer. smiling young man. I said hi and all, then
he: is this first marriage for both of you?

me: answered
he: here are your documents which you submitted to NVC, we dont need any more documents from you.
me: I have the latest tax return from 2014.
he: oh that's good. please give it.
I was taking it out and he saw 2014 w-2. he also asked for it.
He gave me domestic violence paper and told me to read it and he said officer may ask you questions related to this.

After long wait, I was called by american visa officer. Smiling man with age around 45-50.
me: hello, how are you ?
he: I am fine , how about yourself? (he started typing) and asked so your wife is in PA?
me: yes

me: it was very good. it is located in newark downtown. campus has taco bell inside it and I love taco bell(as soon as he heard taco bell, he smiled and stopped typing , was looking at me). I was smiling .
he said okay , then started typing again
he: so is it love marriage or arranged?
me: answered ( he was not looking at me at all)

he: here is the paper , you will have to pay $165 for green card fee. you are all set.
