    Thank you so much to this forum, Moderator dwheels and linjoe whose case I have been refering for as I found it similar to mine. Thanks a ton guys for taking time and answering each of my questions. All the posts in this forum helped me A LOT to understand the process better. I still have few more questions
    Please review my package information above and let me know if anything more is required.
    There are few fields which I had to leave blank in form i-864EZ as few of them dont let me type when I choose Yes. Shall i manually write those fields to N/A (whichever I cant type in the system)?
    So, about this barcoded sheet which is inside my envelop, they scan the barcode after opening the envelop the day they receive it. ? I was assuming, we need to also print and paste the barcode outside the main envelop together with the address for them to scan. Am I wrong?
    All of you, Thanks a lot again.

    Why would you get a checklist for an extension? Reason for extension? There's no need for all that. It's none of NVC's concern why you filed an extension.
    just submit your 2015 extension and W2, 2014 and 213 tax information. That's it.
    Only those who immigrant spouse has a SSN or ITIN ca file MFJ. We should all be filing MFS or HOH if you have a qualifying dependent.

    My case is approved from usics on Feb 29th. So I guess I should be following this forum too

    The challenge will be to convince the CO that you have MORE reasons to return to India than remain in the US with your USC spouse....and unless you are, say, the Prime Minister of that country, it would be hard to imagine what other professional reasons you might have...far too many people, not only from India, have decided to stay put in the US and finish the AOS process with their USC spouse, no matter what they told the CO were the alleged reasons that would motivate them to do otherwise. It will not do any good to try and use the 'oh, but my elderly parents need my care' excuse - because sooner or later, you would be abandoning them anyway, and if they can survive during your Xmas vacation (or if another relative would be caring for them), then why would you need to return? Same for 'I need to go back to pack my bags' or 'attend this or that meeting'....if you put your reasons for staying alongside your reasons for returning, having a USC spouse represents about a 99% strong tie to the US, while whatever job or educational reasons for returning typically add up to about 3%....how will you attempt to balance this out?
    While you may think it 'unfair' that your application be denied, thanks to the thousands of people who have changed their minds (a process that occurs about 30 seconds after claiming their luggage!), the CO's job is to determine your credibility and assess the reasons for staying or returning (and they cannot help but be influenced to a large degree by those who have gone [and not returned!] before you)....why? Because it's very likely that they gave similar reasons for returning that you will, and since those reasons were not sufficiently strong enough to have brought them back, why will you do anything different? BTW, notarized letters from your boss proclaiming that your presence at some future meeting or training is 'critical' following your Xmas vacation are worth absolutely nothing because whatever might be written in such a letter is totally non-enforceable....of course, you might be fortunate...and the cost of trying is around $160.
