Anyone have any news on introtucing the new FACTA FORM 8938

[Tamoura 0]

HI,

I Have applied for an IR-1 Spouse and children.... reached to a stage of having interviews scheduled for both my son and spouse, and have two questions and hope anyone can advise with any information:

• The NVC has scheduled as mentioned an Interview date for only two applicants, although the third one is only 5 Years old.. So does anyone have an Idea on what to do??? Am I supposed to take her along to the interview with her brother and mother???
• Second; Sure most USC living abroad have heard of the new Tax FORM 8938 that has to be filled along with normal 1040 and 2555!!! so does anyone have any knowledge on whether or not we might be asked for it in the Interview???

1) did the youngest child have a case too? Is the file still at the NVC? If so you need an interview for this child. Anyone immigrating to the USA must have an interview. (Even a baby has to be present at interview.)

2) I'm unsure about the this but it can't hurt if you aren't using tax transcripts.

Hi,

thanx , and yes my daughter has a case at the nvc, but what's weird is that her mother and older brother 9 years old were scheduled??

it's odd that she wasn't also scheduled at the same time.

I'm not an expert but I would take it just in case. The Egyptian Embassy is the worst and it's best to prepare as much as you can. I think most likely they wont ask you for it but leave no stone unturned.

Question please, was your case expedited or is it true that it's getting faster to get an interview? It used to take 6 to 8 months then went down to 4 to 6 and lately it seems 1 to 2 months which would be a miracle. Thank you in advance and congratulations I'm sure all will go well, God willing.

Hi,

Nope I never applied for any expediting till my daughters case was missing , and that was done only last week. And also FYI my Priority date ( Received appetence of the I-130) was 04/20/2013.

So its been way over the normally estimated time frame, and that was due to lots of RFE's they asked for.(Police Reports, Old Egyptian Birth Certificate and not the electronic one { it toke me a hell of a time to convince them that Egyptian birth reports have been changed into the new ones and that old ones no longer are available!!})

Thanx again and good luck

it's odd that she wasn't also scheduled at the same time.

I Know , and very frustrating too....

Ok thank you, this is great news it means they speeding up and are with the majority of Embassies now. So sorry you had to go through so much it seems a whole group of us got stuck in one way or the other . Much luck to you and I hope you come back to let us know how the interview went. I for one will be praying for all of you.

Your daughter is 5 years old and the interview is waived.
