Interview scheduled, still a few questions

[JDMwife 0]

Well, got the e-mail this morning at 3:30am with a PDF attachment stating that my wife has been scheduled for her Embassy interview.

In the attachment, there were some steps that I think I understand, but just want to be sure.

• Bring updated Federal income tax information to the interview. If a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) and provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal income tax extension in lieu of a Federal income return, bring the sponsor's most recent Federal income tax return to the visa interview.

Since I didn't have an extension, I don't need to worry about this step, correct?

There is also a check list with several codes that apply to many different cases, of course, and they are all pretty self explanatory.

These only pertain to my wife, correct?

The one where it states the following,

• The NVC only received a photocopy of the document. You must present the original document at the time of your interview.

Does she need our U.S. marriage certificate along with the Japanese one?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You are only married once. What is the 'american' and 'japanese' marriage certificate? there should only be one as you were only married once. Did you have a ceremony somewhere?

good luck

Maybe Japanese Marriage certificate wasn't the right words.

I believe it's called Family Register and it show our marriage is valid in Japan. We were legally married in the U.S. so I'm thinking she needs to have the U.S. certificate. We submitted both the Family Register and the U.S. certificate for the petition and IV Application.

My husband and I got married in the US and I brought our original marriage cert to my interview. Your wife needs to bring originals of all copies you submitted to NVC, e.g. marriage cert, her police cert, her birth cert etc.

You have to check the letters against each point in the letter to see what your wife needs to bring to the interview. Also, about a week before the interview, she'll get another letter from the embassy specifying exactly what to bring.

Did you provide NVC with an IRS transcript for 2014?

Sorry for the late reply to my own thread. I've been swamped with work the past couple of weeks and I can barely remember what day it is anymore.

Anyway...

According to some things I've read, the NVC was supposed to have submitted the Police certificate when forwarding all the documentation to the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo.

Plus, the letter we received states:

Applicants may need to bring an additional police certificate to the interview. If the following three items are all true, the applicant needs to bring an updated police certificate to the interview:

· He or she is more than 16 years old;

· He or she obtained a police certificate more than one year ago; and

· He or she still lives in the country that issued the police certificate.

Only two are true because it's not been more than a year since she received the police certificate.

As for you last question, yes. I submitted transcripts for 2014, 2013 and 2012.

I've got a certified marriage certificate en route to my home (I work on the road) from my local county circuit clerk office. That will get mailed out pretty quickly.

I'll have a few days where I won't be do busy, so I'll have a chance to go over the letter a little more to make sure I understand.

You want to bring originals of both the American certificate, and the Japanese recipt of marriage modification to the family registry (whatever it's called in English). Bring both, make sure you have a translation of the Japanese document in case you need it.

Pretty much have everything ready to go, but still haven't gotten a solid answer on this...

• Bring updated Federal income tax information to the interview. If a sponsor filed an I-864 (Affidavit of Support) and provided the NVC with proof of an IRS Federal income tax extension in lieu of a Federal income return, bring the sponsor's most recent Federal income tax return to the visa interview.

Anyone?
