They just said we had an outdated form we found off the internet. They wanted this years w2 and the last two years. And I have the wrong bc   

This years as in 2016 ?....even though its not April 18th yet?  Didn't you send in your documents in 2016? That seem harsh and/or unneeded!  I sent in my 2015 only as I am finishing filing around April 10th.  By their own standards current year is until tax cut off date. (with a the new updated tax information and i-864 brought to the interview) I would have my senator look into if that is the case .... 11 more weeks for something not required ESP still in 2016. 

 

I am sorry to hear that and it makes me nervous as that I will get a checklist for my 2015 tax transcript even though it should be valid.

Yes,  I didn't understand. But in the checklist email it gave us a direct link to the 2017 aos form and it expires in July 2017. I didn't realize there were dates on it like that. My husband filled it out and I never seen the dates on the bottom of it. I don't know if they just asked for it because I had to send my bc anyways so they knew at the interview I would need the updated. Who knows. But I just got off the phone and they officially have my documents so my second scan date starts today. Let's hope it's not

over 11 weeks. I've mentally prepared for 11 weeks now though and I will only

call once a week to not go crazy. If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't have predicted I was getting a checklist and I acted fast and ordered my long form bc right away. The wait time for that is a month but I ordered it as soon as I saw someone from the same country as me submitt the wrong one. And last week when we got the checklist I wasn't surprised, I was prepared and we sent everything within days. So really I'm not upset that I'm totally set back and waiting another month for the correct Bc at least I was able to send it

right away.

Yeah perhaps they did just add that because you were going to be sending in the birth cert anyways. When did the other form expire ? Also did the check list say 2016 specifically or "current year" ?

I'm not sure when the other form expired but this checklist gave us the link for this years. So we called they said include this year and the last three years total

I just spoke with NVC. I asked when my scan date was and she seem confused and had no clue. What I was talking about regarding scan dates.  She told me my mail was received on the 10th of February.  That's the date they go off of, She also informed me right now it's looking at 11 weeks.  Which will put me at the very end of April. 

 

I'm assuming I won't see an approval until early May. Does that mean I have the wait the whole month of May to get an interview date?  Someone said they won't set interview dates until the past week of the months.

Are you not planning to include 2016 tax returns with IV package?

If so, you will have to file for extension, as 15 April will be the last date for tax filing and your ITIN may not be available by then. If you're planning to hold off sending your IV package until you have your ITIN and 2016 tax returns, don't apply for police certificate until you have your ITIN. PCC is usually available in 2-3 days since you apply for it. You just have to schedule an appointment for passport Seva Kendra and generally you will get your certificate at the end of appointment.

I was thinking of putting the 2015 transcript, employment letter and estimated 2016 income in the AOS and file our 2016 taxes thereafter. I was thinking that we would bring the 2016 tax transcript to the interview.

 

Would this be a problem?

Does any one know how to get to the head manager of the department every time I ask for her they say she's not there they just refuse to pass her on I think her name is carol and she's above all of the supervisors

I called NVC and that person told me that no one can tell you if anyone has opened your file yet or not. We cannot see that in our system. We can only see if your case has been completed or not. Your review time will over on April 13th. So starting from Scan date 26th January - 13th April, it's been in review. I told him that the last person I talked to told be that no one has touched my file yet. He said I don't know how they checked but I cannot see anything on my system. So basically the all 11 weeks is called the review time.

what is your scan date?

[Lule 1]

I want to speak to that person because when I first sent in my documents my 6 weeks was over in January than a supervisor expedited it and it got finished in march then they said they need a copy of my husbands passport and that's was march 3 and they said no body has reviewed it yet have they gone crazy they never even touched my documents way passed their time so I want to speak with the head of the head I think they are purposely doing this so they can probably get a raise since their pay got cut off

Then when did you send the passport copy? Because when you send anything again, it restarts you processing time. Same thing happened with me. 

[Lule 1]

I sent it on march 4th they said they got it on march 8...the point is if we were told at the beginning it was 6 weeks they should have done it then but they were slow so it took them from November till march to review it that's totally stupid and annoying and every time I call I always talks nice to them but I've had it

No, that should be fine normally, but looking at the current processing time, they may or may not give you a checklist for 2016 tax returns. You never know who is reviewing your case and how does he/she evaluates your case. They may also give you a checklist saying you need to bring updated I-864 and latest tax returns at the interview.

 

To weed out all the possible reasons of delay, I would suggest you apply for extension for 2016 taxes and include that in your AOS and IV package. (This is considering you are waiting for your ITIN and also delaying your tax returns filing because of that)
