Hi everyone i just want to ask a question, first question is the proof of employment from your boss what must it include on it? and is it required? Second question is where can i access last years tax return? Thanks for your Help.

Not sure if it's required, might be up to the individual Consulate, but it's a good idea.

Should be on company letter head if possible, stating your start date, and your anual income.

You can call the IRS on 1-800-829-1040 and request your tax transcripts for previous years... via an automated system

mallett_sj,

The instructions for the I-134 tell you what information the letter of employment should contain. Such a letter would not be required if I-134 is not required, if one's income is from sources other than employment, or if one is self-employed. There may be some other exceptions as well.

The IRS would have a copy of your last years tax return, if you filed one.

Technically it is required, however, each embassy has different requirements. The embassy in argentina for example , requires 2 years worth of taxes and the employer letter is optional. You might want to check with the embassy in India and what they require.

Thanks everyone for your help....everyone is so helpfull...who needs a lawyer when you have VJ'ers

Also, I was told that you can use your official hiring letter (if you have one). Luckly, I saved mine, eventhough the salary is a bit outdated, you can use paystubs to back it up. Check with the embassy. Good luck!
