Hi.

I will have my interview for a CR1 visa in Ciudad Juarez consulate on June 25.

Our joint sponsor emailed me this afternoon telling me:

"On the government website, they specifically state 'I have filed a Federal tax return for each of the three most recent tax years. I have attached the required photocopy or transcript of my Federal tax return for only the most recent tax year.'"

Once I told her that we needed the last three years tax information. I remember I read something about it somewhere. I mean in some official website, but I can't find it!!

I found this video that is in Spanish. The lawyer says that because we are doing consular processing we need to present the last three years' tax information.

Do I have to present just the 2014 tax info in the interview or the last three?

If it is the last three, where can I find official info? I already checked in my Google Chrome's bookmarks and look it up on Google and I did find info about it mentioning the last three years but they are not official websites. If you have official info, can you please send it to me to give it to out joint sponsor?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

"A million years if I could live,
A thousand lives if I could give,
I would spend it all again with you,
Don't forget where you belong,
Only with me you are strong,
Not even the gods above can break,
Baby what we have"

Item 7 in the instructions for I-864 describes in detail:

USCIS changed its rule on submitting tax returns along with Form I-864 almost 6 years ago. Last 3 years tax returns or transcripts used to require BEFOR but not for the last 6 years. Now they require ONLY last/previous year's tax return. That's all. It's optional and up to the applicant to send last 3 years' tax returns. USCIS and Consulars request for the last 3 years' tax returns ONLY when applicant's current is a bit short and s/he wants govt. to consider/evaluate the totality of his/her last 3 years' income, then only s/he is required to submit last 3 years' returns because applicant is requested US govt. to consider his/her previous income as well...Otherwise, there is no need to have 3 years' income tax returns. However, keep it in mind that Consulars CAN request 3 years' returns to weigh the totality of financial situation of sponsor as laws give them a discretionary authority to request it which they very rarely do ask for it.

This info, as to which year's tax returns are required to submit, is on the instructions for this form itself...

Hi Yeah our join sponsor read the instruction and she emailed me saying that just one year was requested, but then I told her that I read somewhere about the three years. Then she said "but in the instructions come clear one year" so I thought about sending her official websites stating about the last three years' info.

Thanks for your time an answers.

T think you should listen to your atty & act accordinly

Hi Jawaree, lady from the video is not my lawyer. She is a lawyer who posts videos on Facebook.

I was looking for some official sources to send our joint sponsor as she mentioned that in the instructions say just one year.
