Help about Affidavit of Support I-864

[Saman_ 2]

I am permanent resident and I filed a i-130 for my husband. I am in NVC processing. I am completing my AOS I-864 and i need some guide in filing it as its really confusing. If someone filed I-864 recently then let me know please.

Moreover, I am bit confused about my taxes. I paid taxes for 2014 but did not pay for 2013 and 2012 as i was unemployed that time. In Aos form, there is question as well that did i pay federal tax for each of three most recent tax years. I am confused should i mark it as yes or leave it because I filed for 2014. Other thing is can i file taxes for 2012 and 2013 now? its too late i believe.

As a permanent resident you are supposed to file taxes every year (NOT pay...just file even if you didn't make any money that year). Otherwise it can be grounds for revoking your greencard. It will also cause problem with your citizenship application. You can always file your taxes for those years. Do it ASAP. Doesn't take very long.

Alright. I will do that. Thank you for your information. But can you tell how to file prior year taxes as software like turbo tax , H & R etc only offer current year tax filing. I just checked all of them. So, should i file via typical mail process by downloading form and print and send via mail?

Please also give advice on my topic as well as I have to submit my AOS asap as well.

I think paper filing is the only option. You can also go to Liberty tax or H&R Block and ask them to do the paper filing for you. Of course it will cost money, but they will do it lot quicker than you doing it by yourself.
