Hi all, how many years of tax returns does the UK embassy want to see? 1 or 3? Thanks!

When we interviewed in September 2006 they only wanted one, but the instructions told us to bring three.

I urge you to take the last three just in case. Better to be overprepared than underprepared.

We took 3, needed none

All they wanted was a letter from the employer and 3 pay stubs (recent). Refused anything esle!

However, it may be interviewer specific so get 3 just incase

I should read the thread topic more closely.

Our application was for an IR1 so we filled out the I-864, not the I-134. Different requirements altogether!

None, in our case. Just as well, because I didn't take any - but the ONLY financial information they asked for was the I-134 and the employer's letter (and I wasn't even asked for that specifically, just 'have you got a letter from his work or something?') - I had a load of paystubs and the bank letter with me, but they stayed in my folder and were never so much as glanced at by the CO!

Tax returns are listed as evidence of support that you 'can' use - rather than evidence that's required.

I took 3, they wanted three and was given an RFE for letter and W2s.

It depends on how you are proving the support. The tax returns aren't required at all - per the instructions - unless one is self-employed. I did, however, include a copy of last year's, in case my fiance needs it.

There are many combinations of forms that can be used. But if you make enough to show support through income, the instructions seem to me to say that you need a letter from your employer and a statement from your bank about deposits, etc. The info that comes before the "If you are self-employed" bullet point.

Ya, I can't get a letter since both of my parents are retired and I am a student... Hmmm...
