tax data authorisation form

[Captain Oates 911]

I am sure there was some doubt as to whether this is still required - can any recent receivers of the AOS pack say for definite whether this form is still included ???

ALSO !!

Has anyone any theories about why the NVC system is like it is ? for instance why don't they take credit/debit cards over the phone and why get the bills paid before they send the forms out ? why not just say 'attach a bankers check for $380'

I have a theory - sometime in the past, their staff were swamped with work so they invented a system to shove the work out into the future and create a waiting line - it took the pressure off but now they are stuck with it. If they just asked you to attach a check to the form it would swamp them again in the short term

second theory - they want to give immigrants breathing time to see if they really want to emigrate

third theory - the USA is a highly neurotic society that lives on vitamin sales etc - they don't want anyone to enter until they have had their head thoroughly messed up by the immigration process and are ready to start buying mental health services on landing

many thanks

When I got the AOS packet, the Tax Authorization form was not in there. I did not send it and it seems to be O.K with NVC

hey thanks for contributing - I knew I had seen something about it but could not figure out where.. Does anyone know when they stopped asking for the tax form ?
