Received does not mean reviewing.  That was the "case creation time"

Current case review time: As of 8-JUN-2020, we are reviewing documents submitted to us on 20-FEB-2020.

Am appalled by NVC behavior.. Since 5/19/2020 I paid my fees and it’s still saying in progress.. sent three emails with screen shots and they replied saying give it a few days.. it’s been weeks and still saying in progress... multiple calls and they all singing the same words.. Am beyond frustrated with them!!! 😡😡😡.. Am all out of options 😭😭😭

Sorry this is happening!  Call back when you have a chance and ask to speak to a tier 2 supervisor and see if they can be of any assistance.  I had to talk to two different supervisors before my daughter's case was finally DQ'd after sitting for three months.  Best wishes!!

For NVC phase, when my husband (sponsor-US citizen) has to submit his last three years of taxes, we have tax transcripts from IRS for 2016,2017,2018. But since we are filing married joint for 2019, the tax return will be delayed waiting for the ITIN process. He has sent his 2019 taxes to IRS at this point, but we won't receive a transcript for quite some time as first the ITIN process must complete, after which our taxes get processed. 

The US deadline for taxes is July 15th, but I'm concerned I will be at the stage with NVC after that date, which means I need to submit my 2019 taxes. 

We read the instructions and it seems we can submit tax transcripts for 2017, 2018, and just the personal copy of our tax return for 2019 since we won't have a transcript? Just wanted to confirm if:
1) we can submit the personal copy (not transcript) of 2019 return
2) do we need to make note of this on the last page of the I864 where it asks us to note any specific info potentially like this?

Thanks! Responses will be highly appreciated ❤️

we were unable to get the transcripts too because of covid, you should upload an explanation letter. Not in the supporting docs area but actually the finance option. Explaining why you don't have it and that you will bring it to the interview with your. We were scared for an RFE, but got DQ in 5 days.

Have you tried calling? You´ll be on hold for 60-90 minutes... BUT they eventually answer. I keep reading that email is a black hole.

Pro tip: call 5 minutes before they open or right at closing... less waiting then

"Should we 1) Mention that the taxes are pending ITIN on part 11: Additional Information of the i864, or just attach the 2019 tax form/W2 and move on?

Also 2) should we attach w2 from previous years (I know previous years are optional!) With the previous year tax transcripts or just the tax transcripts enough?

Thanks in advance for all you do!"

I uploaded my mother’s tax transcript from 2016, 2017, and 2018. Followed by w2 for 2019 and w2 for 2018. For 2019 tax transcript I wrote an explanation letter stating that due to Covid 19 we were unable to retrieve that.

I know, I am talking about case creation time only, not documents review.

So Should we Mention that the taxes are pending ITIN for 2019 on part 11: Additional Information of the i864 or anywhere else?

Does anyone know how I can get a tax transcript for the 2019 taxes? I believe the IRS is not providing them at this moment bc of COVID. So I'm wondering which info I should bring to the interview. Which btw is not even scheduled - but you know... getting all ends covered.

If the 2019 taxes have been processed already, the petitioner can create an online account with the IRS and download them there.

I would post this question on its separate topic. It may gain more visibility by some knowledgeable people with specific info on this

I tried but I live abroad and something happens with their system that it doesn't recognize international addresses... I called the IRS and they informed me that they're not mailing anything out bc of COVID... so not sure what to do. I could always bring the signed tax documents? But not sure if they'll accept that.
