Im scared! no taxes from 2011, only a W2

[Andrea&Henry 311]

Hi Vj'rs my interview appointment is in about 10 days. We have everything set up, but we are concern about taxes. My fiance and I think we have everything to have an i-134 without sponsorship. He makes 56,000 per year and his accounts are`perfect. But 2010 he was without a job and that year his taxes wasn't that good. The point is that we rather to take a co sponsor (just in case) but when he gave us all the papers he submitted taxes from 2008, 2009 and 2010. He hasn't have his taxes from 2011 (he ask for an extesion until october) so instead he gaveus W2 for 2011 taxes.

Is that ok? I mean he is giving 3 years of taxes and w2 from last year. Or should he be submitting taxes from 2011? I don't know what to do.

Im scared that maybe we do need a sponsor but we don't have his taxes from 2011, and embassy may ask for it and we only have his w2.

Should I be worry?

Did he provide you with a copy of the request for an extension and the acceptance of said extension for his 2011 income tax return?

[GringoD 33]

Andrea, I think the W-2 for 2011 is gonna be sufficient.

No he hasn't, he has a due date to make his taxes on 23 April, and he wants to ask for an extension, cause he is a president of a bank in latin america. He not only have to make his taxes but also corporative so that takes a lot of time. That's why.

Even though the tax deadline isn't until April 17, it has been noted some consulates are asking for 2011 tax information already.

He needs to file for an extension and you should take that proof with you along with the W2.

As far as I know it isnt required to submit tax info with the 134 but it is done in many cases. At my embassy they request tax info most of the time for example but it isnt required. Check with your embassy

One question would be to find out if the embassy would even allow the use of a co sponsor. Some do, some dont in K 1 cases. Doesnt sound like you need one anway. However I dont understand the meaning of " the point is" sentence. It seems to indicate someone gave you tax info for 3 years.

What may be needed is your fiances' tax transcripts for at least one year. If the most recent year didnt fairly reflect his income then he should supply more years to create an average.

If he is going to submit only tax forms & not transcripts those forms must include all supporting documentation. Submitting a W 2 only will probably result in a request for more info therefore a denial until its submitted. If he is going to get an extension for 2011 it is then correct to supply the extension info.

Contact the IRS by phone, on line or in person to obtain the free transcripts. Get them by fax, mail or in person at any IRS office.

do we really need fiance's tax transcripts even though he is not self-employed?

It helps establish a work history and prove that the intending immigrant will not be a public charge. The more evidence you have of that the better. Some consulates are more strict about it than others. The instructions do not say specifically tax returns unless you are self-employed. They have other examples of what to send to prove income and assets.

When you do file the I-864 for adjustment of status you will have to submit tax returns or transcripts.

If he is president of a bank, then.... I'd think this issue of proof of income should not even be a problem.

What's going on, here?

Why is there even an issue with proving the income here?

What's REALLY going on?

He's president of a bank, and only makes $56K/year?

Something's fishy.

Hmmm. Out of work in 2010. President of a Latin American bank in 2011. Talk about a promotion!

And only $56K of income? No stock options? No bonuses? Must be a really really small bank! I'd hate to see what they pay tellers!

[bigdog 376]

What is the real story? This is getting interesting.

[Julie y Pat 67]

Looks like is the petitioner making 56k, and the potential cosponsor president of the bank. Nothing REALLY going on.

NOOONOO! YOU got me wrong, my fiance is the one with 56,000 but his taxes from 2010 when he was without a job wasnt good. OOUR CO SPONSOR (the one who's a president of a bank) he doesnt have his taxes fron 2011 so he submitted a w2 ( ourco sponsor is his step dad) there's nothing fishy about it
