My husband did not pat tax and did't have job

[ela2 0]

Hi friends

My case is at NVC now.

My husband is the petitioner. He was not in USA for many years so he did't have job and did't pay tax.

I have a joint sponsor for my case and my husband filled I-864 form with zero income and zero tax.

I want to know, if NVC wants tax returns of my husband?

They'll want an explanation of why he was not required to file tax returns.

you mean we should write a letter and explain that my husband was not in USA and had no job?

in i864 form, we wrote that he is unemployed, it's non enough for them and they may want an explanation?

Did he do dumpster diving? Rob people? Where did he sleep? Free? How did he eat? Free? They want to know how somebody can live and eat without having an income. If your husband has huge savings, then show the bank statements.

I told you that he doesn't live in USA. He will go to USA about 2 weeks later and will start his PHD course.

He lives in Iran now, so he was not in USA and he didn't have job.

Although we got a joint sponsor. now we want to know if NVC wants an explanation from my husband about having no income and no tax or not?

If your husband had a job ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD he needs to file US tax returns. The job does not need to be in the US for him to be required to file tax returns.

If he never had a job, anywhere, then he wasn't required to file taxes and he needs to submit letters explaining that.

i understand you also must include the IRS publication where is states that he was not required to file (there should be a publication stating that those who make less than a certain income are not required to file).

Thank you guys.

What is the format of the explanation letter?

I started wotking in 2011 and gave them only one year tax return. For other two years i didnt because i was a full time college student with no job so as a proof i gave them my college transcript that shows my enrollement. If you'r husband was in a differ country then give them proof anything which is solid like his exit stamp from US on his passport and other stuff which shows he has been out
