AOS interview

[cali889 0]

My AOS interview is next week but....

1) My husband (US citizen) is self-employed and owes taxes for 2008 (around 4 grand).

We won't be able to pay it off before our interview next week. What should we do?

2) Another issue...We did meet the 125% poverty line for the 2008 tax year but not for 2007. Will this be an issue?

I have submitted the 3 years of 1040 (2006-high income, 2007-low, 2009-close to poverty line but above it).

3) What are some items I could show the IO for current income for 2009? (Being that he's self-employed and did not file estimated taxes for 2009)

You had good answers in your previous posts - is there something else your not understanding?

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

1. Set up a payment arrangement with the IRS before they file a tax lein. A payment arrangement will have no effect on your AOS, a tax lein very well may!

2. Not an issue You do not need to state 2006 income. Three years only.

3. Bank letter showing deposits for last 12 months to your PERSONAL account. Copies of contracts (if any)

As regards your interview...have they asked for documentation of income? If not, it will probably not even be asked. If you submitted an I-864 with your AOS filing (you should have) and your interview letter does not ask for further documentation of income it will likely not be an issue at all.
