IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Income tax Information for 2014 During Interview	Hi Guys,   I need help... US Embassy stated on the interview letter to bring the updated federal income tax information. My interview date is March 25,2014. i know that it takes time to get the tax information from IRS. Does that mean i'm required to provide the tax information for 2014 to the embassy?   Thanks	private_rye	Male	Ireland	2014-01-31 16:31:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Will 2013 tax transcripts be needed for interview? (split topic)	they may or may not asked for it. but to be sure bring the 2013 tax information.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	checklist from NVC (merged)	hello guys.i just recieved a checklist from NVC saying :: "Please submit a copy of the biographic data page of this person's passport, including the expiration date of the passport. The passport must be valid " ...*knowing that i sent it already in the package  my question is : can i ask someone in the US to send the required document in the checklist to the NVC via postal mail  because it will be faster knowing that I'm living in algeria i mean that would not be a problem and please someone tell me how long does it takes to review the required document in the checklist please any answers would be really helpful  and appreciated        Yes, as long as that person has a copy of your passport biographic data. mine took 20 days to review.	private_rye	Male	Ireland	2014-02-22 18:11:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 April 2014 Filers	it Would be great if we had the situation where CSC and VSC were at least processing the same month. Looking above, CSC is processing in less than 3 months,  couldn't they take some of the backlog from VSC and make the field a little more even :-(	mahyland	Male	Ireland	2014-06-27 14:57:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	vaccine records not available	Hi, I had my medical last Wednesday 3rd August. I had no vaccinations records with me, So Dr Gleeson, said it was ok, and for most people in Ireland almost impossible to provide. He said he would need to give me two shots ( covered in the €320 fee). I pick the results up tomorrow, so Im assuming he would have passed me for immunisations. Hope this helps	mahyland	Male	Ireland	2011-08-09 12:45:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	passport photo requirements	My 0.02 cents for what its worth, go get some more photos, at least when your in the embassy, your in and only leave once the interview is over.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Just curious about next step while waiting for I-129F to get processed	Would recommend saving for fees you will need to pay. Get the paperwork in order.

USCIS Service Centers	Calling the USCIS from the UK	How do I call the USCIS from the UK? What's the wait times etc as would have to buy a phone card if they are long as I'm expecting cause lets face it the USCIS don't do anything quickly!   My advice would be to use Skype with some credit, like 10 USD.   I've been on the line with USCIS / NVC for about 3 hours now at a local cost (!) of about 0.6 USD	HansT	Not Telling	Netherlands	2013-08-01 04:50:00
