You'll probably do just fine then and they'll be impressed that you have it just in case they ask! 😁

When you upload you can add comments to a copy in the additional documents section saying "passport renewal in process. Will bring updated one to interview" and submit like that. We put a note next to my husband Adhar card saying "Official birth cert from courts in process and will bring to interview" and they approved.
 
You'll also need to update the I-130/485 forms with the new number so bring a new copy to the interview. It MIGHT cause a brief delay at the interview stage so if you want to be 100% certain get the new one before submitting to NVC as you'll need the number on your forms. Either option will work but how they will process it we don't know.
 
 

Tip: Log in each morning to the CEAC application center and top right will tell you location of your visa => will update from NVC to your Embassy the day you are scheduled and supposed to get IL. I think you can also update your email on the same page without impacting anything.
 
They'll probably send a big batch next week so don't lose hope!!

Once case is received it's 4wks+/- to get welcome email with case and invoice, 2 days to clear payment, 4-6wks for DQ on first round (add 4-6wks each additional round) and I believe that Montreal is backlogged similar to Mumbai at 4+mths on interviews. Check others timelines sharing same embassy but I was DQ on July 11th (Mumbai) and we'll be LUCKY to get interview before end of year. I'm buying my holiday tickets (Nov-Dec) and we'll see where the interview falls!!

So I put together approved visas for Mumbai from March 2017 to July 2019 from Visa Statistics. I am hoping for the spike in IR1/CR1 in October based on previous year. The bottom chart is for B1/B2 and F1 visas. Hopefully, they are done with the student visas and focus more on IR1/CR1.
Hopefully, this will help us to see the bigger picture based on the past trends.

Congrats!! Long wait is finally over!!

What's app group just posted 5-6 interview letters came for DQ dates 4/29-5/6 scheduled for end of September interviews. Mumbai is moving once again it seems...

Congrats!! So happy to see Mumbai moving!!

Woo Hoo! Finally. Dad's case (DQ: April 29) just got an IL for Mumbai on Sep 27. Finally the drought ended! 
 
No update on mom's case (DQ: May 7) yet

Did anyone get the interview date in mumbai embassy for IR1 or CR1 category .. please share . 

That's the wrong approach. If that's how he's thinking then you have a big problem. He must furnish the transcripts as requested by the embassy or you'll surely be denied. Again, NVC is different from USEM. USEM can request any additional documents in addition to what you sent to NVC or they can even deny any ones you already sent to NVC. The USEM has the final say; not NVC. 

Take what you have with you and explain that you father could not obtain transcripts in time and attorney advised to use the 1040...if they ask.

Great idea! If you don't have a fax then have it sent to a local UPS/Fedex shop to hold for pickup. Nice that they sent them so fast!

You can get transcript instantly to print online at https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
 
Take both the 1040 and whatever transcript you can obtain (past three years if possible). Some of us who are still filing taxes on extension will not yet have a transcript for 2018 so we must take the 1040, W2, extension letter, etc to interview.
 
Good luck at your interview!!!
