We are approved! The interviewer said it might take a couple extra days to get my passport back though because this is a long weekend in Quebec and next week they take both Canada Day and Independe

Actually, I just tried it out - you CAN get them online now!

If you go here: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

You have to sign up for an account and answer several questions, and you need a mobile phone to receive texts. But I was able to register and view my latest return transcript. It even asks why you need it, I selected immigration and it said "You probably need the return transcripts" ;)

P.S. I couldn't actually get it to load in Chrome (the return itself), so I used Firefox. It may be because I run Privacy Badger and a few other things on my Chrome, though.

That's great news! They had taken the ability to get transcripts online away after a bad computer glitch!

I see, that makes sense! What's interesting is that my 2015 tax return does not show sufficient income because I was traveling and did not work for much of the year. Currently I'm very well above the income needed to sponsor my husband alone and NVC approved it.

The thing is I read that someone on here was in the same boat and they they asked for a joint sponsor at interview even though his income was sufficient enough because of his 2015 taxes, which makes me worried. I've asked my lawyer if she thinks I should try and get a joint sponsor just in case but she said I don't really have to.

I'm just so anxious and nervous I don't know what to do. I really don't want a joint sponsor but if it means saving us the hassle of waiting extra time ect I might have to buckle down and find one, which will be tough..

Thoughts?

I would suggest you take a letter from your employer showing your 2016 expected income, as well as every paystub since January 1, 2016! That would certainly show that you can support your spouse!

Hello all! Will I be able to buy my husband a one way ticket? I didn't think it would be a problem but someone told me he would encounter a problem once he arrives if he flew in on a one way ticket.

Sorry but they are right. If they are done scheduling for now then yes, the next round of scheduling will happen in a few weeks (end of June) and it will be for the month of August. Only way you would get a July interview is if someone cancels and a July spot opens up. I wouldn't hold my breath too much for that though.

I hope the lady was just giving me a very safe answer and that they will still slots for July interviews as we are the May batch!

Sorry but they are right. If they are done scheduling for now then yes, the next round of scheduling will happen in a few weeks (end of June) and it will be for the month of August. Only way you would get a July interview is if someone cancels and a July spot opens up. I wouldn't hold my breath too much for that though.

:cry: hoping its a country by country case basis.. also I noticed there were lots of interview scheduled on May 10 (2nd week of the month) in the spreadsheet........ hoping for the same :mellow:

Yep that sounds about right, my cc was May 9 & and I didn't get interview date until end of May for July, as they had finished scheduling by then....I was hoping for a June interview but it didn't happen.

so sad.... I was also in the May batch, if I have to wait until end of june that's a very long wait :(
