Hi all members

We applied IR 1 4 months ago rite now NVC has asked for AOS and Ds230 submissions.My wife moved back to US 6 months ago and started working in a retail outlet.She is making above 125% to poverty level but she hasn't filed any tax return or w2.Do we need to find any joint sponsor or she can apply on her self for AOS?kindly reply with the procedures also.

Well, you have a year to get the I-864 in to NVC - so if you want to show tax data -

why not wait another month to file the I-864 ?

Whilst yer waiting, can catch up with the DS-230 doc set.

Good Luck !

She can apply for herself. She should submit a letter from her employer stating her permanent, full time status and salary, and several paystubs. By the time your interview comes around, she will likely have filed taxes for 2012 and that will help to.

In my three years of taxes that will include 2012 my 2011 income my have been to low but my 2010 was high enough. My 2012 is more than high enough which reflex my true income now and future. Will the one low year cause a problem for them. Thanks

So does that mean that we should wait for her tax returns and start working on Ds-230?And in some forums I have read that they need 3 quarterly tax returns.Is it true?

[Darnell 8,478]

you probably mean '3 years' and not '3 quarters', as here, a quarter is 3 months in duration.

Have a read - chock full of stuff to download and read.

Well, yer asking me to re-iterate what I said? ok.. i try another way.

IF YOU ARE CERTAIN that NVC will be happy with her prior income in 2012 shown on her Tax Year 2012 data NOW - well,

yer USCitizen Spouse doesn't have it.

She MIGHT have it at the end of this month, depending on her employer's ability to issue W-2s.

Say she gets the W-2s end o January 2013. She will be able to prepare a return, file a return, sometime early February.

So she'll have tax data for NVC for tax year 2012 sometime in early February 2013.

In the meantime, how are you coming along with the DS-230 and civil documents? Whilst yer waiting on her employer to issue the W-2,

you can get busy with the DS-230 .. see DS-230 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html and don't forget yer civil docs !

Now, whilst you think there may be a rush to get things IN to NVC - there's really not. NVC gives you ONE YEAR per thing - and there are two things, aye? One year on the AOS/I-864 set and one year on the IV/DS-230 set.

Good Luck ! I sincerely hope that I've clarified my prior scant directions to you.
