No tax return needed?

[PurpleSky 19]

I just received an email from the consulate where FH will be interviewing. There are instructions included part of which gives information on financial responsibility. This is what it says:

The individual who filed the non-immigrant K-1 visa petition on your behalf may be requested to show evidence of financial support by submitting form I-134, Affidavit of Support, however such evidence is not required.  No tax returns are required to accompany this form.  

Has anyone had experience being approved without tax returns? I do have my employment letter and paystubs.

Moving to Consulate/Embassy forum.

Most consulate treat I-134 as a "Light I-864" and tend to require same types of financial evidence as used for I-864.

I-864s directions specify Copies of IRS return, Recent Pay-stubs, Employer letter.

The embassy will ask for the taxes.The employment letter and pay stubs are good.However, those are just showing that you are currently working. but the embassy will ask you why you did not file your taxes especially when the time for filing taxes is now and your interview is not scheduled yet. My interview is at the end month of this month. I am filing my taxes and printing my federal tax return anyway.I hope this helped.

Good Luck
