Hey everyone. Long time no post! I was overseas with my wife but I had to come back and handle a few things here. But Ill be back over there when we know about the interview date hopefully :)

I just checked my email today just to see whats going on and I see I got a checklist. Theres one for my wife and one for me. Heres what mine says:

1. Financial evidence: Ive already provided this and stated the wife will be bringing tax originals to the interview.

2. Birth Certificate: Im assuming since everything is all electronic processing with Amman, that the scanned copy I had put in the email would be suffice enough. And the original would be brought to the interview.

3. Marriage certificate: Same as above.

3. Photograph: Again...you cant provide them via email or scanned so I have them ready for the interview.

I did all these things from the start. The thing is I dont think this checklist is for me...I believe its for my wife because her checklist says the following:

1. Passport: (Please submit a copy of the biographic data page of this person's passport, including the expiration date of the passport. The passport must be valid).

2. Jordanian Police Certificate

See I was waiting to grab the right certificate for my wife and we did and send in the biographic data page with the passport. So in all does this checklist and everything all about the passport and police certificate for my wife? Thats what Im thinking. I dont know im just so ready to finish this long process and bring my wife back here with me. Cant wait to here the words "Case Complete" and finally have our interview date. But anyways...anyone have any idea or help? :)

You should only make one thread per topic, if you want this thread can be moved to the MENA forum. Any updates or additional questions should be posted on the original thread.

Can you copy/paste the checklist? or screen shot and redact personal data?

For EP, you'll always get the photograph checklist, I did. But in my package I sent scanned copies of the photos just to show I had them.

It looks like they need the birth certificate, marriage certificate, passport bio data page and police certificate. How were these sent? They need to be all in ONE PDF file attachment. Saylin has a good section on how to scan everything and send it. You don't need most of her wiki but that part could be beneficial: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_for_Montreal_Beneficiaries_%E2%80%93_Electronic_Processing_and_New_Online_Forms

Make sure they're clear and legible scans. It's possible they're just reminding you to bring the originals to the interview but you could also call and double check with the NVC.

We probably should make up a wiki for mandatory EP cases not just optional to help out the people in those countries.

Did you sent the scanned tax transcripts or returns with the I-864? They do not require originals of those documents, generally speaking, if you sent the scanned version but will require the original I-864.

I wrote a letter with the I-864 stating my wife will be bringing the tax transcripts to the interview as I have heard from many that is acceptable as long as I send in the I-864. Everything else Ive emailed and sent in PDF attachment. I guess ill wait and see what I need to do. Thanks :)

Call the NVC and try to see what's up. You may need to get a supervisors approval about the tax transcripts.
