Congrats!! 
For NVC stage if submitting tax return transcripts - w2 and 1099 are not required. Do I have this right? Also, the transcript I have is masked (it has some information like part of my name masked). I hope that’s okay with NVC. 
Happy for all the approvals and wish speedy approval for the people still waiting. 

I think it’s fine if the transcript is partially redacted as long as income is visible and enough of your name, ssn and address to identify you. I believe W-2/1099s are not required with transcripts but it wouldn’t hurt to upload if you have them. If you don’t have them due to overseas income, you could state that in your cover letter. Good luck 🙂

It can be expedited.The only way to do this is to attach a reason and proof of acceleration and send it to the specified email address of NVC.
But it is up to the consulate to decide whether to expedite or not.

Spoke to another 2 lawyers today and they have all confirmed that it’s a common misconception that the DQ part can be expedited.

Once you get the DQ, that is when you can request an expedite to get your case transferred to the embassy and have an interview scheduled asap. The actual current 3-month wait of getting DQ’d cannot be expedited.

OUR I-130 WAS FINALLY APPROVED ON JAN 14th 2022 (PD Feb 9 2021) 😭🎉

 

I know the waiting is not over yet but 3 months at NVC sounds like a breeze compared to the wait at Texas Service Center.

 

If anyone has received their Welcome Letter recently can you tell me how long it took - also do you only receive the welcome letter via paper mail or also via email?
 

 

Congratulations !!! Super happy for you! 🎉🥳🎉🥳

 

our petition is in Texas as well, although we got our NOA1 from Potomac as online filers, the ask Emma chat representative told us it’s in Texas now. PD 3/27/21

Hoping we are getting approved soon, too! 🤞

We got DQ'd this morning. In the CEAC site it says the joint sponsor's Proof of US Domicile is "INCOMPLETE" but the email says we are DQ'd. Apparently it happens to a lot of people. Going to call the NVC if I can get a hold of them, but from what others have said, they tell them to bring the incomplete document to the interview just in case.

Not yet. I think the consulate here in Canada is sending ILs for Nov dqs.

Thanks! We were expecting a far longer wait for the interview date. Couldn't find much information on the Cambodian Embassy but evidently it must not be that backlogged.
