How important are tax transcripts for AOS?

[mspain 1]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be filing for AOS soon and was wondering about the I-485 and tax info. I have a great job now and make more than the required amount, but only have two years of tax transcripts as I was a college student before. I was also only working part time during these two years because I was still studying. How important are these tax forms and do you think I will be ok at AOS with my current income and two years of transcripts? Thanks

Yes I would include a letter of explation and I think you will be ok, and if you make the required about you should definatly be ok! Good luck!

You need to have filed for the previous 3 years (2009, 08 and 07). If you didn't you need to provide proof of why you didn't have to.

You only need to SEND the 2009 transcript, but as stated, need to have at least filed the previous 3. For your current income you should send a letter from work and copies of pay slips
