Yes @Anna12 how did your interview go?!

Okay updates!!! My husband was approved for his green card this morning!! We’re so happy and literally couldn’t have made it without this community so thank you everyone. I uploaded my new I-864 and all my 2022 tax documents (federal tax return and all my W2s and 1099s) to the CEAC website last night in a panic and my husband had all of these documents printed to bring in to the interview. When he got to the booth where they ask for documents, they asked for his birth certificate, police certificates, and my W2. He asked if they also needed my I-864 and the office said no, she could see my I-864 in the system, but wanted to see the W2. I’m not sure what that indicates since I had uploaded everything, but maybe she was just saying that to verify? Not sure. But he provided my W2 and all was good. For reference, we were DQd Jan 27th and got our IL April 13th. His status still just says “Appointment”, but when the office told my husband he was approved, he said the system was down, but he would approve him later this afternoon. I hope that doesn’t mean there will be a delay in getting his passport back, but we’ll see. thank you again to everyone!!!

Hmm I don’t think so? Here’s exactly what my paralegal said: “2022 Taxes are mandatory for anyone who is not documentary qualified. For anyone who is still pending documents to upload or is about to apply for residency as of April 18, 2023 the 2022 Tax Returns became mandatory. You became documentary qualified before April 2022*. As such you can physically take the documents to the interview. They do not need to be uploaded to CEAC” *we were DQd Jan 27th They are a really great law firm and we’ve worked with wonderful paralegals there, but information changes very often, so i don’t want to pass this along as if it’s absolute truth. But hopefully this helps!

Thank you!!! Just uploaded and submitted! I did talk to our lawyer again and she said it’s only mandatory if we hadn’t been DQd before April, but….. I submitted it anyway. So thank you!

Oh my gosh thank you SO MUCH! You are a godsend! I feel stupid for not knowing this, but like I said, our lawyer said it was fine if we just bring the physical copies in. just to clarify (again, I know this is dumb), but I should upload this to the same website we uploaded all of documents to be DQd? CEAC.state.gov ? again, thank you!

My husband’s interview is also next week! Do we have to upload additional/updated documents to CEAC? Our lawyer said we didn’t have to, but honestly I trust this forum more. We have an updated I-864 for me (I moved and got a new job) and my 2022 tax returns. Should I upload those?

Hello! I feel like I've seen someone mention before that there's a checklist compiled somewhere on VJ of documents you need to bring to your interview. Could someone point me in that direction? Thank you!

Hi friends! I'm registering my husband's visa appointment on the website and I'm at the part where it asks where we want his passport couriered after visa processing. Does it make a difference if we have it couriered to one of the addresses listed or have it couriered straight to our apartment? And also, for the Toronto applicants, is one of these addresses better than the others? It looks like they're all just addresses for random buildings. Thanks for your help!

We received an automated email from the NVC this morning saying, "The National Visa Center (NVC) updated the status of your immigrant visa application" and yet when we log onto our profile, there are no updates. No messages, nothing is marked incomplete or even "accepted", it's all the same. Has anyone seen this before? Is it just, like, slow to update?
