From what I understand, a DL is enough of a domicile proof if your current livelihood is in the states. If you are sponsoring your spouse and you both reside outside the country, a DL may not be enough.

I had the same experience but it was automatically resolved within a few hours of the dq email.

The photos uploaded to CEAC is over 6 months old and I expect by the time I attend my interview it will be nearly a year old. Should I bring new photos to the interview (and upload them to CEAC before the interview)? Embassy: South Korea

Hi all, since I have been DQ'ed today, I wanted to share the anecdotal information I have been collecting thus far. This would probably be most helpful to those who are currently waiting to get DQ'ed in October. Finally, I cannot thank the VJ community enough for all the help I received, so thank you all and good luck on your "DQ journey". Submission Response Result Reason for RFE Note Proc.

Yeah if your JS has the full tax return then you should be good. Usually that’s all you need (+W2/1099)

When you go on the IRS portal there are four options. One of them is IRS Tax Return Transcript and another is the Wage and Income Transcript. It is common knowledge around VJ forums that you want to submit the tax return transcript and not anything else but for some reason we were specifically asked by NVC to submit the wage and income transcript. We thought maybe it was because of the purported IRS delays (my JS still does not have his 2021 tax return transcript processed by the IRS.).

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all of the fees, forms, and documents that are required prior to attending an immigrant visa interview at a U.S. Embassy/Consulate General overseas. NVC will work with the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in SEOUL, KOR to schedule an interview appointment for you. Once we have confirmed an interview date, we will send a notice to you, your petitioner and attorney (if applicable). Please do NOT make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until you have received an immigrant visa from the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General. The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General may require additional documentation at the time of the interview. Please visit https://nvc.state.gov/prep for information about immigrant visa interviews.

I received two emails saying I am dq but when I log on to ceac it says INCOMPLETE for my JS documents. When I click on it it says Application Error. Should I be worried?

Yeah, that's how my RFE was. Just an update notice. My NVC stage started in May. I am still waiting to be DQ.

Yes, this is an RFE. He might try to submit it quick but that rarely translates to a quicker response time. More than likely you will need to wait for another 50-60 days at the current rate of NVC processing.

1. If you get an RFE, it won’t say RFE. It will say things like Case FE Review Note or something. 2. If your email states that you are DQ then you don’t need to worry about it. Just make sure you upload W2/1099 if you have any after you get the IL. Does your note say consular officer will make a decision?

At this point they are just messing with us. Last week they said July 128th in the Spanish version and now Aug 24?? LOL No, the Spanish version says August 4.

Sucks. Do they expect you to just find another job?

Yes, but I haven’t been DQ’ed yet. I wanted to figure out if this would be a problem at NVC. I figure it is not then.
