  1. I would always send updated tax transcript. It trumps all other financial documents. This was the reason why a close relative got AP until they provided the most updated tax script.
  2. I thought AP is pretty typical for Pakistani embassy.
  3. I would have still filed taxes with no income. the way I see it as an immigration officer I would want updated tax returns. If spouse income is below threshold I would request joint sponsor to fulfill that requirement. If there is no tax return (regardless of reason) then we are still stuck at first step. anyone else can chime in as well but I think for immigration purposes, I would have filed all taxes regardless of no income.
  4. 20 sept 2023? long way to go. Think they just got covered up to June 2022
  5. This was the year before Covid. But I remember reading the same guidelines that people posted about who can accompany. I did my research and went in. The way Islamabad embassy works is you have to show up early at a pick up location where you go through some security and then board buses provided by embassy that take you through check points to the actual embassy. Before you board the bus, is when they check your reason for visiting embassy. For being a US citizen, they just looked at my passport and let me on bus. The worst that can happen is they won’t allow you to go to embassy and you have to wait at the bus pick up spot. But if they let you go in then essentially you have a really solid case of why the marriage is valid. Remember the interview is looking at how strong the evidence is for the marriage to have been ongoing. Hence the reason they ask when did the couple physically met last time. Quite frankly, I think me being at the interview was extremely important. It helped my wife as she was nervous. The interview took 1 min, where they didn’t even care about my wife. They literally called her and asked her to take seat and just asked questions from me about what do I do and how long I have worked and that’s it. We were done in at most 5 mins.
  6. That is not true what kuchiki said. are you the US citizen? I petitioned for my wife ( as a US citizen) and when it was her interview date at Islamabad embassy, I went with her. When her turn came they called her to the glass window. First question they asked her was when did she last saw her husband. She said this morning. They asked oh he is here and she said yes. They completely ignored her after that and called me to the window and asked me few basic questions about my work and that’s it. Actually I highly highly recommend going to the interview because that guarantees this a valid marriage. I m saying this as someone who personally did it at the Islamabad embassy.
  7. What was your parents DQ date? I am waiting for both of my parents interview as well at ISB embassy.
  8. Thank you so much for this. I followed this. Hopefully it goes through. Appreciate the help.
  9. Hello, Hope everyone has been cruising along well. I am kind of stuck and not sure how to proceed further despite multiple inquiries to NVC. Here is my situation: I, US citizen, petitioned for my mom and dad. I have always been unemployed as my spouse makes a decent living. On I-864, I selected unemployed and then used my spouse as household member. We have filed taxes jointly for last three years. I submitted IRS transcript for this year for myself and my spouse submitted I-864A along with three year transcripts, employment letter, 6 month paystubs, three year W2s. We did the same exact thing for both mom and dad petitions. My dad’s petition got DQ. But for my mom, I got Case FE Review note requesting W2/1099 for me. I have sent 2 inquires explaining that I don’t have W2 since I have always been unemployed and using my household member for income qualification. But both time I got the same email, I have attached them. Of note, no documents under “Affidavit Of Support”and “Applicant Information” says missing. Everything states “Accepted”. At this point, I am thinking of just uploading a document in “Additional documents” with an explanation of why W2 are not available. It’s kind of frustrating since my dad got DQ without this issue. I am hoping if anyone else had to deal with this and how they got around it. Any help/guidance would be appreciated. Thank you
