Thank you for your insight. And I agree, you'll never know how it's going to unfold. But I'm thinking of doing the expedite for the interview as soon as I get DQ'ed. My 2 year anniversary will be on April 2023, and I'm hoping everything goes well for me, and I'll just make sure to enter the US after my anniversary date🙏 

I got DQ today!!!

-So my attorney submitted the required and optional documents Feb 7,2023

- I uploaded additional supporting documents myself Feb 10,2023. I thought they would go with Feb 10th because that's the last date I submitted the additional documentation but apparently they go by the "required documents".

- total days waiting: 17 days 

 

Now I'll request for an expedited interview for Manila Embassy. I will share with you guys how it goes!

So many people I've seen do this, should I be uploading additional documents? haha

I just did the required plus pay stubs, what am I missing

I've read from other forums that they go by the "required documents" date,  and for me I think it's true but that's just me. 
 

my attorney only submitted 1 year tax  transcript for 2021, so I went ahead and submitted 2020 and 2019 tax transcript and w-2

 

as far as uploading additional documents I'm planning on uploading our 2022 taxes and 3 most recent paystub when I go for the interview.

Obviously what you've done is completely no problem but from what I understand it is optional.
 

Did you do it to prove your sponsors income?
 

I just wanted to know so I can understand the process and I guess others in the future could learn from this.

 

Good work on the DQ!

Good work on the DQ!

 

The reason why I submitted 3 years tax return is because I thought it would help and wouldn't hurt anything. My husbands income for the last 3 years met the income requirement so I thought it would be perfectly fine.

I don't think they work on Saturdays but I do think they work two shifts and work up until midnight on Fridays. There could be some delay in emails going out too.

This really depends on your situation. I had a lot of additional documents, some were necessary (police certificate for a country which wasn't listed under "required"), others were me playing it safe (a lot of explanation letters - e.g. about why I don't need a PC for a certain country, why we are not providing proof of income for my husband etc.). I also used the comments a lot.

I think if you have a very easy, simple case, then not much else is needed. But as soon as there is just the tiniest possibility of doubt, I think it might be best to play it safe and give them more information about it, so if they have questions, they don't need to send an RFE. That's my take on it.
