I-134 Affidavit of Support

[andy28 0]

Hey guys!

I have been getting worried about this paper I received from the consulate in Brazil. The paper outlines the guidelines for the person that files the affidavit and I'm a little confused on the tax return part.

It states: "If the petitioner has not yet filed a federal income tax return for the most recent year, then tax returns from the three years prior to the most recent year must be submitted and the extension filed for the last year's income tax."

Well, I have my co-sponsor's last 3 years of tax returns (2002, '03, and '04, but I don't have the return for 2005 because they haven't filed yet). Is it really necessary to have the extension? Can anyone give me some advise on this? Has anybody gone through this in Rio?

Please let me know as our interview date is approaching rapidly and I need to resolve this issue.

Thanks for your help!!
