As far as I know, this needs to be filled out by everyone that has their interview after February 20, 2020. 
It is used for everyone applying for a greencard which includes people adjusting status from work visas, which is why there is the tax questions as these people would have filed taxes in the US.

 

For us it's a simple "No" to the question "Did you file a Federal tax 

Hey is it true that the NVC is reviewing documents from February 21 2020? Thats what it said on NVC website is this true? Because i still see some people saying there cases have been completed from NVC

Thank you guys for the congratulatory remarks! Hopping the rest of those waiting for approval can get it ASAP.

For those of you that have already reached that important milestone, do you know roughly when I should I be expecting anything from NVC?

 

Thanks!!!

I checked early morning today in my USCIS account and did not see anything, a few minutes later I decided to call USCIS then the tier 1 officer mentioned something about a notice sent to me this morning, then I started shaking, thinking something had gone terribly wrong (LOL) and immediately asked him to transfer me to a tier 2 officer,, in the meantime and still shaking, I checked my USCIS account One more time and the only change was the approval notice in the documents tab, I then told the tier 1 officer that  I no longer needed to contact the tier 2 representative.

Sorry for the extensive response and  dramatic tone, just wanted to share all the details with you.

Dear Fellows
Latest update on my case, received NVC email and proceed to pay fees. For some reason I cannot proceed with next steps, I am guessing the fees need to be processed to move forward.

 

Regards!

Yes, the fees need to have the status "paid" before you can move forward. 

They do have some issues at the moment though - fees are being charged to bank account but get stuck and the status doesn't change to paid.

In that case, you have to sumbit an inquiry with a screen shot that the amount has been withdrawn from your bank account and once they see the inquiry (which can take 1-2 weeks), they'll forward the case to their IT department to be marked as paid. I hope you won't face this issue, but just wanted to give you a heads up. 

Our IV Fees were processed, but the AOS fee is stuck 😭

Hi Zochu, thanks for the detailed feedback, greatly appreciated!

When I first logged into the CEAC account, I found the notice below, so I guess I'll need some patience

Yes, that's the issue I was talking about in my post above 😞
Here it just sounds like it takes a "little" longer though, but some people's payments were stuck for over a month. 
This has been a known issue since like 3 months.
