Hi,

Does anyone how to reschedule your interview? I might have to reschedule mine if we don't get the irs documents in time.

Depends on how it was scheduled, you might need to contact the NVC, some people are able to do it here

IRS docs usually come by 5 days, I've ordered them twice.

Thanks for your reply. My husband is calling the irs today. Hopefully it won't take as long as the last time we had to order them. (5 months)

We submitted the original to the Nvc and I think I read somewhere that a copy is enough if you have already sebt the original. Assuming he gets the letters in time,  would a scan copy work? 

I will try to contact the embassy and see what they tell me.

They look like copies, its just black and white, if you already have a set, a copy shouldn't be an issue.

Do you know if anything is going on over there in Guatemala that would be causing such delay??

We have our tickets to fly out to El Salvador jan 22 and my husbands medical exam appointment will be the following day. Im excited but also stressed, I have all this paperwork to put together and organize since my husband is clueless when it comes to these things. Where can I get an idea of how to prepare all needed paperwork for the interview??
