We got a hospital bill from when my husband was here so we will unfortunately have to put down a debt 😬 But, we have way more savings than the debt is and my husband already has a job offer for when he gets here so I hope we should be good

So, at the bottom of the form PART#9 DECLARANT SIGNATURE. Is that the person that filled the form (Petitioner), or is it the beneficiary? This form is confusing.

I would assume beneficiary because they are the ones declaring all of these things

So what are people putting for the 'location of asset'? You'd think that there would be instructions at least!

This seems quite detailed and may be helpful for people related to the public charge form.

Hi everyone, this morning I emailed our consulate (Stockholm) to see if they are requiring DS5540 at interviews, even if DQd before Feb 24 and here is their response, they are requiring it unless it has already been collected by NVC. Even if you were DQ before Feb 24 I would bring DS5540 to your interview just to be safe and contact your consulate to see what they are requiring you do to for it 

@Absow we have now the answer...

Our case was reviewed by NVC, first submission is Dec 24th. We got RFE 😢

They need our co sponsor's W2 (we only submitted Tax Transcript). Second submission Feb 28.

Here we go again......waiting game.

@JC&PB sorry! I know how disappointing that can be.

I am surprised they would ask for it. The official site mentioned that they prefer tax return transcript over tax return & W2.

W-2 is required for Married Filing Jointly tax returns since they can't see the individual income on the transcript.

Given all this confusion with this new form, I'd like to politely request that anyone who has an interview from here on forward to please come back on VJ and tell us your experience at the interview with the new form required (How you filled it out, a rough idea range of the income/assets), just so we who are beating ourselves here can have an idea. 

Thanks.

I found this floating around in a Facebook group. Just thought I would share :

This helps, according to this my husband’s case is low risk of denial so it makes me feel a little better now !

My point exactly!!! Some questions don't make any sense, especially Part 4 where it asks to list the tax returns filed for the last 3 years......HOW IN THE WORLD is an beneficiary supposed to file 3 years of taxes when they're not even in the US????? They obviously rushed this form just to get it passed quickly.

I guess that applies if the usc filed married jointly 🤷‍♀️

[Duke & Marie 1,389]

I think I994 is also applicable to those filing adjustment of status after the 24 feb..?
