US Immigration from Mexico

Well, not my proudest moment. But I got a dui last weekend. I haven t been to court or anything yet so I don t have the final ruling.

but I am a bit concerned it could cause some issues in the process. No any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

to be clear I am the petitioner. We already have our noa2, and are waiting for NVC to give us our case number.

what should I do, if anything?

I'm finalizing all the prep on my end for my husband and stepdaughters' CR-1/IR-2 interviews in two weeks. I've uploaded updated I-864s for each case to CEAC, as well as updated supporting financial docs. The only document that I don't have is my 2022 tax transcript because it is not yet available from the IRS. I sent the return, signed by both my husband and me, along with a check for the tax payment on June 14. Because I filed an extension on my 2022 taxes, and my husband/stepdaughters submitted W-7 ITIN applications with it, everything has been delayed. Just yesterday, my husband was finally assigned an ITIN, and my stepdaughters' applications were rejected, so right now, my return is kind of in a holding pattern until we either re-apply for their ITINs, get their SSNs (assuming their visas are approved), or amend the tax return to remove my stepdaughters as dependents.

TLDR: no 2022 tax transcript, extension was filed, tax return was sent and payment was made in June

In lieu of the tax transcript, I have included the following documents to take to the interview (4 packets - one for each applicant):

• For 2022 tax year:
  • 1040 tax return for 2022
  • 1040-V payment voucher with copy of check and proof of deposit (from bank statement)
  • W2 from my primary employer
  • Schedule C from my self-employment freelance income
  • 1099s from freelance clients
  • Additional paid invoices and earnings reports from clients for whom I didn't get a 1099
  • My husband's income/tax report (as it was included in our 2022 taxes)
• 2021 tax transcript & W2
• 2020 tax transcript & W2

For proof of current income, I have included:

• Updated letter from my employer with my annual salary
• Letter signed by me verifying my self-employment
• 3 recent paystubs from my employer
• 3 recent paystubs from one of my freelance clients (independent contractor)
• Paid invoices and earning reports from clients to show self-employment income so far in 2023

All proof of current income, plus my 2022 tax return/W2/Schedule C, have been upload to CEAC.

Am I missing any other document that I could help the fact that I can't yet get my tax transcript?

Hello,

Our K-1 application has been in a ready status at the CDJ embassy for one month, but we still have yet to receive the letter/email letting us know we can schedule the interview (the scheduling website for CDJ is adamant that we have this before we schedule). Curious if anyone that has gone through the CDJ embassy for K-1 recently could let us know how long it took between the Ready status on the CEAC site and receiving the interview letter.

When I went through the fiancee visa process in Ciudad Juarez with my wife about 10 years ago I remember we had a biometrics appointment prior to the interview where they took fingerprints and photos. Is this still a requirement? We have IR5 visa interviews for her parents coming up on October 4. I was figuring I would schedule the medical exam for October 2. My other question is do they still make you wait for your visa to be sent via DHL or do they just give you the visa right away and/or stamp your passport?

I am petitioning for my husband and three stepdaughters (ages 18, 16, and 14); each are principal applicants. Originally, the consulate gave my husband and two of my stepdaughters (18 and 16) an interview appointment for September 26. My other stepdaughter (14) was delayed one month at the NVC, so we didn't receive an email for her interview appointment like we did for the others. I immediately sent an NVC expedite, and she was assigned an interview for September 15. I called the consulate to see if they could reschedule her appointment, and they said she could just go to her dad's. When I explained to them that she couldn't because her appointment is BEFORE her dad's, they sent an escalation to request the change. This routine of me calling and them escalating continued for a few weeks.

Last week, they finally responded aaand..... they rescheduled my husband's appointment for September 15. So, now there are two appointments -- one for my husband and stepdaughter (14) on 9/15 and the other for my stepdaughters (18 and 16) on 9/26. I again requested that they be changed to all the same, but the consulate refused.

What we're thinking is that we could take everyone to CDJ for the first appointment and at least do their medical/biometrics -- how long do the medical results last before they expire? We could try to get them to be seen all together, and if that can't happen, we'll just go back for the 26th appointment.

Does that seem feasible? Anything you would do in our situation?
