Various reasons:

- "scan not complete" (one form was on long paper and it was scanned, but the very bottom of the form was not complete- Silly me, I didn't realize or pay attention to that)

- "can't accept forms of different types" - I have included 2 W2 forms and 1 1099MIS in one PDF - They didn't like that

- "cannot view password protected form" - The form was not password-protected at all, anyone can open it, BUT when I open the form a popup comes up at the top and says "some fields are interactive...". I guess they didn't like the fact that the form was still editable - I did fix that (I hope) by printing the doc again as a Microsoft PDF, and the form was no longer editable.

 

Original submission date was 9/9 and now once I fix and upload those docs again, I'm back to ground zero

 

Hopefully some folks can learn from the above mistakes!

For password protected PDF's just screenshot each page and create a new one. My sponsors' Wage transcripts were password protected and that's how I fixed that issue. They have been accepted.

I'm looking ahead to the DS-260 and I'm not sure if I'm considered employed or not. I am in the middle of a career switch, and to build experience I am doing unpaid work for a friend of my husband who has his own small startup. It's a super informal set up, no contract or anything. It's not full time, but more whenever he has a project for me he throws it my way. I have also never been to their office and work remotely from the other side of the country. I do have it listed on my linkedin and resume, but I'm not sure if it counts as employment.

I believe it would be unemployed since you aren't earning anything. The main thing they look for is income.

That's what I was thinking, thank you!

Do you mean the tax transcripts? I noticed the IRS tax transcripts we uploaded were password protected but just for editing, not to open the document and printing out. I figured it wouldn't be a problem, but now I'm not so sure...

I didn't even know that they were password protected. I also submitted them as it is as I was able to open the document without any password.

All our documents were accepted except the applicants birth certificate.

The reason is quite trivial but well, I guess it's part of the immigration process.

 

First submission 08/12

Second submission 25/08

 

Hopefully the second will be reviewed as quickly as the first.

Did anybody submit additional photos other than the passport for beneficiary at NVC submissions?  

We did just that and all were accepted
