Income Tax Return(form 1040), W-2

[Dark 0]

Do you have any idea if it is a MUST to present the latest copy of the form 1040 and W-2 during the K1 Visa interview or I-134 will do? What if the latest forms(2008) are not available yet. At this, my Fiancee only have the old forms(2007). Please help!

if your interview is after April 15 then it's probably best to bring the most current tax returns....

You must present/submit an I-134 - and to support the I-134 you must also submit supporting documents (including at least a recent copy of your tax return and its supporting documents; such as W-2's).

You can not simply submit an I-134 with no supporting documents.

Tell your fiance to file his 2008 taxes. He's going to have to sooner or later and you having the 2008 returns at your interview is a plus even if before 4/15.

Yeah my interview date will be on April 22. Do we need to present the original forms or can she just send a scanned copies of the forms?

All your tax forms can be faxed or scanned. No need original signature as original forms are at IRS or E filed.

If he is missing a W2, he can request one from his employer.

If he is missing a tax return, he can request a transcript for free from the IRS by downloading the IRS form 4506T and sending it to the appropriate center.

I have requested tax transcripts in the past and they have come fairly quickly.

If my interview date will be on April 22 and the filing of the new ITR is on April 15. Do you think SHE can still send the forms in just a week before my interview date?

your fiance should have done this earlier if he already knew your interview date... FEDEX or UPS should be able to get it there in time....

The answer to your question is very much dependant on the Embassy you are dealing with and you would be best served to ask them directly. Some will request you have this year's tax return and some will not.

The I-134 is used only to help the CO determine whether or not your fiance will become a public charge once in the US and each Embassy interprets this differently. In NZ, for instance, they cared much more about my (now) husbands CV/Resume and work history than they did my ability to support him.

good luck

You must present the latest copy of 2008 Income Tax Return documents, not the 2007. B) Edited March 23, 2009 by F23

No need to mail or use FED ex. Tax returns and W2s can be FAXED or scanned and are acceptable by USEM. Been there and done that also.!!

Also it takes about 3 weeks for IRS to have the record of filing before you can get tax transcripts.

Been thru that trip naman.
