Hello all, 

 

My wife the USC has filed our I30 which has been approved. We have subsequently gone to NVC and have been DQ. Waiting for our interview at London. We are anticipating our interview to be early/mid April. 
 

My wife is my sponsor along with her father who is my joint sponsor. 

Our question… You have to file your 2023 taxes by April 15 in the USA. Do we file our taxes now and just take our paperwork to the embassy with us (Which the NVC wouldn’t have seen) or leave it and file after our interview? Thanks

I would not delay filing.  I would file and be prepared to present them to the CO.

This is a tricky time for applicants. 
it appears as if some consulates want the updated taxes when the interview is around April/June and others don’t. 
I would read reviews of interviews done last year in London around this time to see what others did. 
For our case, we filed taxes and submitted them to NVC as we wanted the consulate to have the most up to date information and head off any 221g after interview.

First, you might be right about April, but any prediction of when in April is useless.  

 

Second, I advise filing the tax return as soon as possible, and take either a complete copy of the Return or Tax Return Transcript to the interview along with a more current pay stub.

Just a jump on question based off op scenario, after filing 2023 taxes and uploading to CEAC, would a person need to file an updated I864 or is the original still acceptable from before 2024? 

Example- DQ Nov 2023, file taxes Feb 2024, upload to CEAC.

I wasn’t planning to re upload our new taxes to CEAC. Just take and present them to officer at interview if requested.
