Couple Questions

[feanor 0]

OK 1. does my petitioner aka my fiancee need to be at the interview with me ?

2.what if my fiancee was in school this past year and she doesn't have a previous tax return from the year before ?

3. how long can you wait before activating ( crossing the border) your visa ?

1. No, but I'm not sure what country you are from to state even whether USCs are allowed in the consulate. Mine was with me but it really didn't make a difference

2. Tax returns should have still been filed, if the income is not met, cosponsors will be needed

3. 6 months generally, maybe shorter if a medical is about to expire, there will be an expiration date on the visa

Good luck

OK thanks. yea I'm from Canada.How can she file a tax return without ever having a job ? She was part of a tuition exchange program since her mom has worked for the school for so long her tuition was free, so I just not sure how she can file a tax return without having a job the previous year.

Do you know if her mom filed her as a dependent? She is NOT REQUIRED to file taxes if she did not work. If she did she would have probably received a refund. Perhaps provide evidence or simply state that she was in a tuition program during that year. Is she currently working? They are more interested in the current income. If she falls below the income requirements then she will need a co-sponsor.
