I-134

[VirginiaMaria 3]

Once my fiance gets his interview I will be back in the States with a new job. My father will be our sponsor but here are my questions... I keep reading I need three years tax returns? Myself and my fathers? Or just my dad since he is the sponsor? I also read that just the most recent is sufficient. Can someone clarify exactly what needs to be taken with the I-134? Not what is optional what is necessary. Thank you!

Only your father's tax return.

Three years or just one?

Hello,

Both of you need to summit your tax returns whether you meet the requirement or not and not just your father, that is why it's called co-sponsor if you notice. you and your father will summit your most recent tax returns along with I-134 FORM at the of your fiancé interview to the US embassy.

After he has gain entry into United State and he is trying to file for adjustment of status, both of you will also need to summit your last 3years tax returns

along with I-864 FORM if income is still below minimum requirement and if not then it will be just.

I don't have a tax return for this year for example because I didn't file. Unemployed and don't get assistance from the government. I smell a lawyer and problems now.

His last three years tax returns? I'm confused he doesn't have any. He doesn't have to in Spain. And I do not have any for 2012. Any info is helpful.

I think he meant tax returns for your father(the cosponsor) and you as the main sponsor. My fiance didn't work as well last year, so he called the IRS and they told him to fill out a form, don't remember exactly what form, mail it to them and then he can request from them a certificate of non filling(for the last 3 years cause he was outside of USA and didn't work as well). I will take that certificate to the interview along with a letter from him signed explaining why he didn't file for the last 3 years. This is what we're gonna do, but you should call IRS regarding your tax returns.

No. You need the information from the last 3 years but are only required to send in the most recent tax transcript with the I-864. If you were not required to file in any or all of the last 3 years, then you provide a statement as to why you were not legally required to file.

Just include a statement with your I-134 about why you were not legally required to file. No need to get anything from the IRS about not filing. The co-sponsor fills out their own I-134 and provides their most recent tax transcript(or a complete copy of their return with all forms, schedules, W-2s and/or 1099s), letter from their employer stating position and salary, most recent pay stub(s) and proof of being a USC or LPR.

Just a statement? It seems a little too easy

And it's the same for AOS too?

Yes, just a statement. That is what it calls for in the I-864 instructions and what people have done successfully many times.
