I submitted form 1040 tax returns for myself and the joint sponsor. NVC sent a message asking for W2 or 1099 forms. we dont have these as joint sponsor is self employed and I am not employed and live abroad. What should I do?

I’m looking into cases where people get RFE for not having a W2. Does NVC want a physical W2 from an employer or the W2 online transcript from the IRS website?

Our judicial oath ceremony is scheduled for 8/25, and per the suggestions on this forum we are thinking of getting passports and passport cards first, /then/ using the passport card when updating our names on our Social Security cards, then using that to update bank accounts, names used for payroll, etc. Problem is... expedited processing now takes an estimated 7-9 weeks, and normal processing takes 10-13. Not including mailing time. What happens if, say, we end up with W-2s with our old names? And... Given this timeline - is taking an emergency trip out of the country to qualify for an urgent travel appointment the only recourse? We also thought of using expeditors but a) are not sure how much faster it is, and b) are told on another forum that those are currently not allowed to operate Thanks!

Hello, My IR5 filing is on NVC stage. I just got an RFE. NVC is requiring for my w2/1099 for 2022. I don’t have any of those since I did not work for the whole year. i have my husband and sister-in-law to sponsor and i have submitted both tax transcript and w2s for them. All accepted. what should i submit? Do i download and submit wage and income transcript from IRS showing $0? Would that even be the right document for their request? HELP!!!!

Hello, Please advice. At the beginning of our visa journey we hired a lawyer in hope we will not have any surprises and mistakes. My husband is US citizen and we were hoping I will join him soon in US. We got married in July 2020, filed everything in September 2020, first part was OK and in March 2021 we submitted all documents to NVC. My husband owns a S-Corporation and has no W2/1099 only 1020S for 2021 individual tux return. Form 1020S prove his income through S-corporation. Since he often travels outside of US because we use our last chance to have kids through IVF (we are in our 40s). We literally have natural IVF cycle every month, he is not employed and does not have W2 or 1099, but he has more than enough income through his S-corporation to support me. We did submitted tax return for 2021 for our company, 1099 for company, his individual tax return with 1020S and information of his income through s-corporation. NVC keep asking and asking for his W2/1099 form. Unfortunately our lawyer told us at the begging that this will not be a problem, and now he telling us that they changed rules. He advised us to find sponsor with W2 form (which was not logical to me, but we did it anyway). He submitted all necessary documents for my cosponsor. I received the same message again “Please submit every W2/1099 for XX (my husband) for 2021” We are miserable and to be honest we don’t know what to do anymore. Do you have any advise for us? We will greatly appreciate any help

Hi, My spouses case got RFE, the confusion I am having is that I moved back to the USA for work, I started officially work Jan 1st, 2022. So on the AOS needed I used my Greek Salary (which covers the requested the poverty line by alot) to do my US taxes and use that transcript for the AOS as well as a employment letter from my US Employer which shows my salary moving forward which will be even more than my last year salary. What is the confusion is they asked for to submit all my W2 from 2021, in Greece they dont have W2s. I took my Greek Tax Transcript and my accountant in Las Vegas did my 2021 US taxes as a foreign based income. How do I submit W2s when they dont exist. Also in the CEAC all the paperwork has been Accepted now, changed from Submitted (even the AOS). Any help will be appreciated because I have no clue what to do from here. Thanks, S
