Affadavit of support help

[Mordoran 0]

I found out 3 AUG my I-129F got approved!!! I have some questions about what is going to happen next though. I know that I am supposed to supply some tax returns with my Affadavit of support. Here is the problem, I don't have any tax returns! I am 23 and graduated college DEC 05. Now, I am an officer in the Army. I'm doing fine and won't have a problem showing I can support my fainceé. While I was in college, I had a scholarship and I never worked. Since I never worked, I never had to pay taxes. I just started my military job JAN 06, so I haven't done a tax return yet. How is this going to work out? Anyone been in a similar circumstance?

You dont need tax forms. Notice on the instructions that you only have to provide proof of employment and income. Include copies of your LES (numerous months). That and a letter from your commanding officer wouldnt be bad thing either. Also statement from your bank, signed by a bank official including the following

Date account opened

total amount deposited

current balance.

Even if the I-134 says one has to show evidence that is applicable, just to give you some peace of mind, you could get in touch with the consulate in Rio and ask them what they expect you to send with the I-134. Also, you should know that they expect petitioners to be 125% above the poverty guidelines (and not 100%, as it should be). By contacting them, you'll get to know whether what you intend to send your fiance will be enough or whether you should get anything else.

Calling the consulate is a good idea, as they can be very picky, but if you explain your situation, they'll tell you what to show instead. Good luck with the rest of the process.
