Today I went to Atlanta IRS office for sailing permit. From the guard at the entrance to the Information officer, no one knew what "Sailing permit" is. They were asking why it is needed.
Finally I picked up form 2063 and told them I need to submit this. Then something made sense to them. Anyway, this was not the case with the lady at the counter, where I gave the form(she understood it). But she looked at it, and asked me if I was returning back to US, to which I answered yes. So she asked me for airline return ticket, which I did not carry with me. I am not sure if anyone experienced this situation.
I will have to go back again with my plane ticket now.
Anyway, my advise to all going for obtaining sailing permit, is to carry airline ticket with them.
VFP.
p.s. I also carried all my and my wife's tax returns just in case they ask for it.
