This is obviously a political "hot button" topic.

Please be understanding that people on this site are often frustrated because of the long waits involved with going through the process legally.

Having said that, there should be no blame attached to your wife as she entered the country as a minor.

The best advice that anyone could give you is to get a knowledgeable attorney and proceed carefully.

Good Luck!

waiting...waiting....waiting some more!

my fiance was really gettin to me yesterday =/

he got so doubtful and sed i dunno if i can stay away for so long this is so stressful..broke my heart he was doubting us .. this can be really unhealthy =/

When we filed the K1 (noa 1 date of Aug 12 2010) our attorney said it would be 6-8 weeks, well, here we are 129 days later....

It is heartbreaking to have to wait more than you ever anticipated. I understand that very well!

However, if your fiancee is doubting whether your relationship is worth the long haul.....hmmmmm, if that is the case I would be concerned if I was you. I think this lengthy process has the benefit of showing you how strong your relationship really is. Just my 2 cents worth... disregard if you wish.

Thr IRS will send you via fax or mail, transcript copies of your taxes for free. That is what is required at the interview. Turbo Tax info may not be accepted & shouldnt be used. If rejected there will be a denial until you send the correct submittal.

Call IRS or go on line again & you will find the method to obtain the transcripts. Ours came by mail in about 10 days.

Thank you for the info, I will call IRS today.

Thank you in advance for the replies.

Like most here stuck in VSC limbo hell with a K1 visa I am feeling very sad, lonely and desperate over the holidays. If we ever get our NOA2 (And at this point if feels like IF) we definately don't want any stupid errors, so my question is:

My understanding is that for the interview at the embassy my fiancee will have to show the last 3 years of my tax returns. I looked on the irs website and they are charging $57 for each return and a wait of up to 2 months for receipt. I will pay IRS and go through the pain if it is absolutely necessary... however.... I generally file using turbotax and consequently have all my tax returns since 2004. I am interested in hearing from those that have gone through the interview and want to know if there is some difference between a tax copy received from the irs and what I have easily available. We will be interviewing in Santiago Chile.
