Is there a difference between tax transcript and complete tax returns ? And which do you submit ? 

Yes they are different. Tax Return is your 1040 form and subsequent pages. Tax Transcript looks more like a list, it can be taken from IRS website. You can find easily by googling. 
 

We submitted both.

Thanks and if you file in January/ February 2023 do you present 2021 tax returns or 2022 tax returns ?

Until the tax year ends in April 2023, you are not obligated to present the 2022 tax return. That is unless you have already done your 2022 tax returns, then you should include 2022.

 

We filed on Jan 8, at that time I hadn’t done my returns so I gave 2021. Then we received an RFE and in the response I gave 2022 because I did my returns before the RFE.

It’s been 21 days since our biometrics, I guess we will be in the back seat for EAD. Almost 50% of the IOE09189 cases are approved by now.

Here’s hoping you get your EAD next week. Mine came exactly a week later.

 

All the best!

Update: I received my online access in the mail today and I'm scheduled for the biometrics on Feb 21st. (Denver office)

How do you submit for online access ?

A separate letter will be provided in the mail with your online access code. This is usually after they sent the receipt notices for your I-148 forms, ead and AP. 

 

I also read somewhere that if you don't receive the online access letter, you can "ask Emma" and she will send it via email.

I checked the IRS website and saw my transcript is now available so I uploaded under our uscis account. Maybe it'll even nudge them to look at our case again.

Question. Do you have to send each separate fee with each application?? I-485 , and the work and re entry app ? Or is is just AOS fee and biometrics only if u send all three together?
