Hi Sai,

Congratulations .. :)

When the VO asked for Tax returns, you said you submitted last two years tax returns. Did you have only two years tax returns or you just gave him two years tax returns even though you had more?

Would it be possible for you to write the reason (here) you explained the VO when he asked "Why did you come to Tijuana all the way from NYC?"

Thanks in advance.

Thanks

Hi Thirupathi Rayudu ............ i have only 2 years of tax returns and i gave them to him.... VO just asked for tax returns he din't specify how many years.

Also, i gave following reason why i came to Tijuana from NYC.

"I was looking for visa appointment dates during Thanks giving week in Canada. Meanwhile my supervisor asked me to go to client LA location to assist users in testing and training. So i looked for dates in mexico during that week and i got this appointment time."
