I just sent my fiance' her paperwork including the I-134. I havent filed taxes in many years because my VA disability and CRSC(Tax free retirement basically) are not taxable and by law I dont file taxes. In the Manila US Embassy guide it states you have to show tax forms. I sent a copy of my taxfree income and had a continuation sheet stating that I didnt pay taxes. I feel maybe someone has had this situation before and could help. I hate for my fiance to be given a hard time about this at the interview. Thanks

You should have a VA disability determination letter and certification that you were sent by the VA when the disability was evaluated. You should also have the yearly statement from the VA showing the current payment rate.

I would send copies of both, although the yearly statement would probably be sufficient.

There was a previous VJ member a couple of years back that was doing DCF in the Philippines and all he had was the yearly statement. If I recall correctly, that was adequate.

Did you send a letter explaining all this?

Copies of your SSA1099-SM(1-2009), SSA1099-SM(1-2008) etc., and the VA equivalent yearly income along with a letter stating why you do not pay taxes will suffice for tax returns. Copies of your SSA1099-SM (showing the 2009 estimated payments) and the equivalent for your VA with a bank statement showing the deposits will take the place of recent pay stubs.
