US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Affidavit and supporting documents	QUOTE (motu @ Jun 3 2008, 05:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Laurentia @ Jun 3 2008, 12:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE and on page 8 under Affidavit of Support To substantiate the the information regarding income and resources the sponsor should attach two or more of the following items to the affidavit. * notarized copies of his or her latest federal income tax return; I was wondering, how one goes about having their tax return notarized. I do my taxes on Turbo Tax and file electronically (I print out a copy for myself though...and that's what I gave my fiance to take back to England with him.) What exactly is getting notarized? A signature? If so, can a notary public just notarize copies that I've printed off from home? This is the one form that's given me the most aggravation! Any help would be much appreciated... - Kelly Notarizing a tax return is not needed. And I always just send copies form my turbo tax and it has always been OK (no signatures as I also file electronically) - just be sure to attach W-2s or 1099s if applicable. I never ever thought it worthwhile to get IRS transcripts but many people like that - it's your choice. Good Luck I'll just go with what I've already given my fiance then. Thank you!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	UK Police Certificate Question	QUOTE (Marmite Lovers! @ Sep 30 2008, 01:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Try not to worry. Mine came though quite quickly. As for wondering why they won't accept the signature - why don't you call and ask them. Your picture has to be signed by one of the following: Accountant • Bank/building society official • Barrister • Broker • Chairman / Director / Manager / Personnel Officer (limited company) • Chiropodist • Commissioner of Oaths • Councillor: local or county • Civil Servant (permanent) • Engineer (Qualified) • Fire Service Official • General Practitioner • Minister of a recognised religion • Nurse (SRN and SEN) • Member of Parliament • Merchant Navy Officer • Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers of the Armed Services (active or retired) • Optician/Chemist/Dentist • Police Officer / Police Staff • Post Office Official • Solicitor • Teacher or Lecturer Thank you so much! This list is just what we needed I think.	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-10-01 15:15:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	UK Police Certificate Question	Just looking for some information and advice about this document. My fiance called the police department to ask if a certain person's signature would be okay on his photo and they told him "yes." My fiance received an email today stating that they won't take that person's signature. We're wondering why not...and what we're supposed to do now. I don't even understand the need for it unless it's the equivalent of a reference like you'd need for a job application in which case, the person who signed it is not a relative and has known my finance for quite a long time. This is a potential 3-4 weeks added to an already drawn out process and I have a feeling our packet 3 will now beat the police certificate back to him. Should we be worried about running out of time to get the completed checklist sent back to the Embassy? Thanks, Kelly	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-09-30 11:39:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	LONDON PEOPLE BETWEEN NOA2 AND INTERVIEW	We're still waiting for our interview date as well. Lee sent in his checklist on Oct 27th...had his medical on Nov 10th and all the DOS could tell me when I called (Nov 25th) is that the Embassy received the medical results from Knightsbridge...and then those extremely hated words "Just be patient." GAH!!!!	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-12-01 15:50:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	LONDON PEOPLE BETWEEN NOA2 AND INTERVIEW	Finally we received our Packet 3 today. This after the Embassy mis-mailed it and it got lost. Meh. Anyway...here's hoping we can get a fast interview date as we'll be ready to send the packet back tomorrow. *crosses fingers*	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-10-24 10:47:00

I'm just wondering who is with me? I'm sure there are a few. . . Happy days. Hi there We're currently awaiting Packet 3 from London...seems to be taking forever. -Kelly How de we get in touch with the London embassy? I want to find out if they sent out our packet 3. Hello, Please take a look at the link below for the embassy. You will need to call the number they provide and they will give you a email code that is good for one week to make inquaries about your case. From what I've heard they will not answer questions on the phone. http://london.usembassy.gov/ Good luck & I wish you a speedy journey!! I called the Department of State and they gave me the dates things were received and sent out. They're VERY helpful and, dare I say it, friendly. 1-202-663-1225 press 1 and then 0...it'll bypass all the instructions for other things and get you in line to talk to a Visa Officer. Have your case number and your social security number on hand...and also birthdates of you and your fiance. Good luck!!	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-10-17 14:41:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Email approval time	QUOTE (KimandRuss @ Sep 12 2008, 07:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is very common to happen in CSC but i've not heard of anyone from VSC not being updated in the system. Very interesting. It may sound like a silly question but are you sure you have the right number? If so, this is good news for other VSC'ers. Congratulations on your approval! I'm sure you'll take it any way you can get it! Yup, I triple-checked our number yesterday. Everything appears to be correct...plus we had touches on our case before when I had to send in an address change. I'm not picky though...approval is approval! hehe Thanks for the congrats.

So even relying on the USCIS for that is kinda "iffy". Anywho...good luck to everyone still waiting....hang in there!!	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-09-12 06:30:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Email approval time	My Fiance and I were wondering if there was a specific time period during the day that approval emails are sent out by the USCIS. Usually people post a copy of what they received with their application number x'd out, but there's never been any mention about what time of day they received that email. We're filed with the Vermont Center btw, so EST conversion would be greatly appreciated by any that respond. Thanks! -K & L	Laurentia	Female	England	2008-09-02 13:11:00
