Ok guys! Even if I am upset with our lawyer still, I am updating you all! 

Everything says ACCEPTED but the W2 has a note. Idk which W2 was submitted because we can not view. My husband was over the phone while this change happened on our account. He asked the guy and was told we need to upload all pages of Tax return. Now we are confused. W2 or Tax return pages? Here are screenshots. @nyokie

When you login. you can always click on uploaded form hyperlink. it will download back to you computer so you can see what you uploaded. Make sure you upload 2018 tax transcript, w2 and 1040s (do it for 2017/2016 as well if have it). for each year create one pdf file that contains all that info.

 

this note likely means didn't upload all W-2 for tax transcript. every person listed as supporting finanicially, need to upload thier

Thank you. I asked the attorney about this last December and she told me no need from the husband’s side of our JS. Idk. I dont want to argue with them anymore. Im sick of this attorney and her assistant! 😢

Good luck with that. I don't know if there's a way to expedite at this point but I'm down to try anything.

Hi guys, 

Just wanted to tell you about my experience during  my visa interview. 

First, let me provide a bit of background. When I was 15 years old I overstated my visa in the US with my Italian passport. I left with a volunteer departure before I meet the one year mark. 

So, today was my visa interview at embassy in Santo Domingo. I was so nervous but my husband came to accompany me during the process. We get in  and stand in line to provide some documents, that process took about an hour. Afterwards  sent us to wait for our interview. We did not wait 10 mins when we were called. 

The consul first asked us to provide all the evidence we had for our marriage. We provided a photo album, flight records, money sent, among other documents. He probably took 2 minutes looking through those when the questions started. He asked the following questions: 
1- tell me about your relationship history. 
2- he asked my husband how many times he has traveled to see me. 
3- where have I travel and how long I've stayed at each location. 
4- who my husband lived with. 
5- was I ever arrested or detained by a police officer or immigration. (During this questions I explained that I was stopped by an immigration officer during my over stay) 
6-where was I heading when I was stopped. 
7-with who was I living during my stay and what did I do during that time. 

After we have answered all the questions, we waited approximately 20 mins. Then, he came back with my passport and a paper and said the worst thing in the world..."Unfortunately, you have a ten year penalty for over staying your visa. Your visa has been denied, you need to contact USCIS if you wish to continue with your case" 

At this moment, I was in shock. I could not say anything... Honestly I was about to cry. Then my husband said "excuse me, may I ask you a question. Does the ten year penalty applies to her even if she was a minor during that time?" (We had done the research regarding this topic before applying for the visa) The consul seemed confused and took the paperwork and passport. We then waited for a few more minutes while him and his colleague reviewed something on the computer. Then he asked again if I was deported which I explained to him again that it was a volunteer departure. I provide the paperwork, he makes a copy and says "this information changes our decision, congratulations your visa has been approved!!" 

I am so happy but this has been a Rollercoaster of emotions.  This taught us that they could make mistakes and is very important to be well informed. 

I hope this helps.

Wow! That was really overwhelming to read. I applaud your husband's smartness and presence of mind. After getting a rejection, it is very common to break down and get upset. But your smartie saved you. He turned the whole decision around. So happy for you guys! Congratulations! 👍You got to give that man a treat! 

Even though you are from a different consulate, reading your experience has given me so much hope and makes me feel like I did the right thing by asking my husband to be there with me during the interview. 🙂
