Timeline

Use the tools here in VJ to answer "when I am going to get etc. etc." question. Near your picture there is a link for your timeline. Select it and once you're on the next page near your picture you will see "follow similar timelines" and it will populate 12 other couples who are near your dates. Scroll down and you will see a "spreadsheet" style page showing all the variables for measurement for when others are getting the same notice of approval or action. Try it. It really works! If you choose to follow those twelve members then you will get an email every time their status updates.

I followed those that were in my group to give me an idea where they were in processing so I could judge if I was ahead or behind. It's pretty accurate, maybe within a day or so.

This entire process is about patience, those who have the most will have the least amount of stress.

I wish I had more to compare to with the timelines. I only get one timeline to show up other than mine. The other timeline they haven't updated in a couple of months.

My fiancé is anxious he hasn't heard from the embassy. I told him to be patient today. It barely left the U.S.!

If your packet is being sent to your Embassy it will not take that long before it arrives, about 4-7 days. This process is all about patience.

Always check with your embassy for THEIR procedures, as some have different processes.

@D.A.G my fiance went to see the lawyer , he said my fiance to wait packet 3 . Without it she's cant do anything ,can i have your help plz ,in private .

I would recommend that you avail yourself of the information from your region's sub discussion group found here. There are more experienced people who are there to help as they have usually completed. Asking someone from a different embassy may not be in your best interest.

Also, go to your embassies website and read about your process there. Then if you have questions ask in your forum.

Most who are here have no experience with the process and are learning as they go.

The IRS 1040 form is something that he fills out each year before the deadline of April 15, 20XX. So he should have a copy now.

He can get a transcript if needed from here: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

You have a choice, either bring the IRS 1040 or if it is not available then get the tax transcript. You do not need both. Are you using the Embassy Letter as suggested? That question is answered there. Just bring only the documents that are on the Embassy Letter for USEM. Nothing more or nothing less. Now having said that, we always carried ever single piece of paper for this process with us but only gave what was required. At the interview nothing more had to be taken from our "reserve" paper documents, but it gave us a sigh of relief knowing it was there with us if needed.
