So on july 29th 2017  my mother gets a checklist to send 2016 taxes and it says

"Do not send the corrected form and documents to NVC. Instead, give all requested
documents to the visa applicant, who should present them to the consular officer during the
visa interview."

 

One week Later,  on  02-AUG-17

 

i, the beneficiary gets a letter that says this:

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa case.  The applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a consular officer will adjudicate the applicant’s visa application.....

 

 

 

Do you guys think this is a false checklist ?

How lond do you think i will get my interview ?

 

Thank you sooo much guys

Sounds like a "real" checklist which instructs the applicant to bring the requested items to the interview rather than the petitioner sending them by mail to NVC.  Getting an interview can take a few days, a few weeks, or a few months.

 

Congratulations!!!  Time to prepare for the interview.....

There are two types of checklist, and neither of them is a "false" checklist.

 

The dreaded version is one that requires that additional documents be submitted to the NVC for review. This checklist is usually for deficiencies in the main documents, such as birth certificate, police certificate, I-864, etc.

 

The other version (the one that you got) is just a request that additional documents be provided at the time of the interview. This checklist is usually for more minor issues. I got one similar to yours where it asked for additional W-2's for 2016 to help show the sources of my various income since I filed jointly with my spouse and my W-2 did not cover the entire income claimed on the return. Like the one you recieved, my checklist only requested that they be provided at the interview and did not need to be submitted to the NVC.
