Affidavit of Support question/taxes

[CharlieTanger 76]

I have a full time job well over the required yearly salary.

The only problem is that I've just got this job in December and I've been an unemployed student ever since.

I'll be able to provide the most recent pay stubs, as well as the letter from my employer. The only thing that I won't have is a tax return, since I didn't make anything I didn't have enough money to claim in taxes. Will not having the tax return be a problem since I can prove that I actually have a full time, quality job?

It shouldn't be a problem since you were not required to file taxes. You may need to provide an explanation of why you were not required to file, but that's about it. Your employer letter and recent pay stubs are good evidence to prove your current income.

Great, thank you much!

Your consulate London does not require a tax return with an I-134. 1000% positive of that. They will approve you on the employer letter alone.

Taxes- if you had any federal tax held out of your December pay, you can get that back by filing a tax return. Social Security and Medicare withholding is not refunded because that is contributed toward your retirement.

When you do adjustment of status there is another Affidavit of Support. It does require a tax return and numbers off three tax returns, or a signed statement why you were not required to file.

"I was not required to file a 2014 tax return because I earned $1234.56 and was below the threshhold for filing.

"I was not required to file a 2014 tax return because I earned $345.67 and was below the threshhold for filing.

"I was not required to file a 2014 tax return because I earned $0.00 and was below the threshhold for filing."

Then you send your employment letter and six months of pay stubs to show your current income is sufficient, despite your weak tax return.

OK, so what is it. Are you fully employed right now or an unemployed student. Your two statements above contradict each other.

Current salary is key. If you are fully employed and of sufficient income right now, then you are good to go.

Thanks guys! So I'm going to get the employer letter. How would I approach my boss? What do I say? I really didn't want him to know that I was getting married...

Then use pay stubs to prove how much you make a month. It may be next fall before the interview so you should have quite a lot by then. London is not very fussy about how you prove income.

I had my interview in London yesterday and just took a letter stating my fiances income from his employer (for a job he started in January) and that his job was in good faith, and that was accepted with no other evidence
