Tax transcripts are used to demonstrate that you have filed taxes as required. You will include pay stubs to demonstrate your current income. You should be fine with just you paystubs from the last few paychecks to demonstrate that you are above the threshold. If you are worried, just include more paystubs to help show that the income is steady.

Ok, so last years tax transcripts don't affect anything if I am in fact presently meeting the required amount as stated in the federal poverty guidelines?

You're the best! Thank you for ever and ever ❤️

No worries. Just include a letter from your employer with your current salary and paystubs to help show your current income. Those should be sufficient.

Hello All,

 

On September 28, i got am email from NVC saying that i have missed to include my co-sponsor's evidence of citizenship (but i did send it). The letter also stated that i dont have to send it to NVC but to just give it to my mom to show during her interview.

Called NVC and they said this is a Case Complete and to not worry about the letter.

Today, September 30, i got my Mom's Interview letter in the email!

 

Hang in there people...hopefully everyone can get an update soon!

Its been 7days, waiting for an rfe as well. Filled on 18th April. From what I have read they give 12weeks(84) days to reply to the rfe. If you get yours, respond in good time. All the best!

We sent a screenshot of our messenger chats per month of relationship (a screenshot with October chats, then one with November etc...). That took a bit of time to format together
