Just curious where’s 2019 tax script? 

2018 tax transcript was the most recent at the time of application submission in 2019.
 

Got another question friends:

 

1)  As far as tax transcripts, I originally submitted 2018s to the NVC and sent my mother-in-law a 2020 (most recent).   Is that going to be enough?

i hope someone can answer my question.. so my mother was supposed to have a visa interview april 2020; philippines went on lockdown in march. we have not heard anything from the embassy. i sent out queries but the answer is the same; she is in a queue and to wait. few days ago i got an email that she should sign up for interview on line or call the hotline.. and she has 1 year to do this from the date of the letter otherwise her immigration process will be terminated. but when u go on the website, there is no slot. i went to the site every day; since receiving the email with no luck. honestly i dont know what to do. calling the hotline just puts you on hold forever and then the call drops. pls help.

Well, both parents were supposed to go back for Sputum results March 24th, but yesterday both got calls to come back to SLEC Feb 24th.  Seems this isn't going to be good news......

I have the same issue just wondering did you get the interview slot for your mother? I did check everyday too but always say no currently interview available. My mom was case was transfer to USEM from HK EMbassy..supposed to have interview last last year June 24 but had to cancel due to quarantine policy in HK. But now I can't get slot for her..so frustrating.

They released slots last night for March 28, 29.  I suggest to join FB group... https://www.facebook.com/groups/IR5VISA  Find a chat group for IR5 CGI slot waiters.  Chat members help each other monitor CGI for slots in different hours.  Have your medical done as the released of dates recently are too soon (not having ample time for RT-PCR and medical days).
