Will Unpaid Taxes Ruin Chance at Interview?

[Zangerita 0]

I filed my petition for my husband in July of last year. My parents are the cosponsors. They payed their taxes last year, and presented me with the information. But I now have an interview next month on the 13th. My lawyer says they should file taxes immediately as the embassy will ask for their current information as some time has passed. I think he might be right because on the checklist letter they sent it asks that I bring financial information that was submitted to the NVC. The NVC reviewed it and said it was fine... but on the checklist letter it says next to financial information

"The required form is incomplete. Please ensure that a complete form is presented at the interview."

I know that this is also because they requested that we fill and send in the new affidavit of support form.

We have been waiting so long. My husband is so excited and I just don´t want to get there have everything be fine... except for that. I feel so nervous.

The problem is I think they are waiting until April to file for one reason or another.

Any ideas?

Do you think his parents owe taxes. That is one reason why people wait until the last moment to file taxes. Maybe he can take his dad out for some coffee and explain the situation and ask his dad to help him out to file the taxes earlier.

They are my parents. They are on a payment plan.

Unpaid taxes can be a huge problem during the interview. During my wifes interview, I managed to get into the embassy and was told to take a seat but minutes later was called to the window and asked, why don't I pay taxes. This was repeated and of course I stated that I pay taxes and wouldn't be working for the US govt, if this was the case. Then the CO asked, why was I deliquent on taxes in 1998 & 1999. Wow, 12 years ago after finishing college and they have since been paid in full. Regardless the interrogation was there and once the visa was provided and packet was returned, noticed petition was sent to fraud unit and the reason was deliquency of those tax years.

Anything is possible but be prepared just in case...

Thanks for the reply. I am going to go to the embassy in person and ask what they expect me to bring, and question them specifically about the letter. I am sure they will answer any questions. The problem is not tax delincuency but rather that my father probably expected to pay in April.
