income tax returns questions

[ilovehim30 34]

my fiance and i are worried about the income tax return requirement at the embassy interview. My fiance was a full time student all the way to september of 2011. That is when his first job started. His salary was 125% above the poverty line for both of us, but since the tax return only shows from september and on from that year, it does appear that he didnt make enough.

Ok, in january he got a promotion where he was making much more and well above the 125% poverty guidline. He has all pay stubs, employment letter to verify his salary. Although he is making enough easily to support us both, his only income tax return from 2011 shows that he doesnt, since it was only a quarter of the year. Do we have to wait until the 2012 income tax return to schedule an interview or should the pay stubs and employment letter stating salary be enough?

We are so worried. We thought i would get there and be married before christmas. I really hope we dont have to wait until 2013!

First, they want to see CURRENT income. So the pay stubs are good. A letter from his current employer to state his hire date, status of his position (full time, contract, salaried, hourly, etc) pay rate backs up the pay stubs--you have all that so you are good to go. The tax returns do show previous income and can show a trend and shows he does have income and filed his taxes. Not as important as current income. Think of it this way: would they want to see the last three years with income well above 125% of the poverty level and the pay stubs for this year are at the 80% level? No, they want to see that he can support you this year and in years to come.

It sounds like you are okay with what you have.

Good luck,

Dave

They will understand he was a student and only started working last Sept. If he was self-employed it would be different as they only base the income off the most recent tax return. However, for someone that is a regular employee, the current income is the biggest factor. The letter from his employer and his most recent pay stubs will prove his current annual income.

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH DAVE & ROZA.... A LETTER FROM HIS EMPLOYMENT STATING WAGES AND START DATE PLUS PAYSTUB SHOULD BE GOOD.

Easy fix to this--FIRE the agent and listen to us.

What exactly does this agent say will be a problem with him working since last Sept.(almost a whole year at this job now and even had a promotion) and making well over the 125% requirement?
