Hello Friends,

I am filling out my I-864 and am wondering what USCIS considers to be the most recent tax year. I did file taxes for 2014 and was intending to fill out my 864 with my 2014 tax info. But….April is about to be tax season again and I will technically be filing for 2015. So which year does USCIS prefer? I'm guessing they just want the most recent previous year….but I can't find any info in the fine print.

THANKSSSSS :)

i also submitted my previous 2 years of tax transcripts with my I-864EZ so they have 2012, 2013, & 2014 tax records and my 2014 W2s/1099s...better safe than sorry, right?

Feb 12, 2015 - I-130 Approved!
Mar 6, 2015 - NVC receieved our case (found this out on Mar 11th phone call with NVC rep)
Mar 11, 2015 - Called NVC, was given case # & invoice #
Mar 11, 2015 - Paid AOS Bill
Mar 13, 2015 - AOS Fee deducted from bank account
Mar 14, 2015 - Received DS-261/AOS Bill (in mail)
Mar 16, 2015 - Called NVC, was instructed to mail out AOS/I-864, mailed I-864EZ/AOS/Documents (2 day shipping)
Mar 18, 2015 - Packet received by NVC, AOS Fee marked as PAID on ceac.state.gov website

Mar 23, 2015 - Called NVC: 1.to verify packet received(was told to allow 60 days for review) 2. to ask if DS-261 was entered in the system (was told case is too new to revivew over the phone, but I could call back in a few days if I wish to see if we could review it over the phone)
Mar 24, 2015 - Called NVC and was able to review DS-261 over the phone; added emails, designated self as agent of choice. Should be able to pay IV Fee & fill out DS-260 in one week (31/03/15)
Mar 25, 2015 - Paid IV Fee
Mar 26, 2015 - IV Fee shown as 'Paid'
Mar 28, 2015 - Submit DS-260

April 1, 2015 - Medical Exam in Suva, called NVC for update on case: said it wasnt in the system yet, still in review. allow 45 days for case complete (hey, thats better than the 60 they said earlier!) They will only email us if they need further information, otherwise expect interview letter in the mail.

April 7, 2015 - Called NVC to follow up, no update given

April 14, 2015 - Checked ceac.state.gov website, saw that there were 3 N/A's, called NVC to verify that case was complete

April 15, 2015 - Received false checklist, called NVC to verify that was actually false checklist (re: police certificate would be sent directly to embassy and therefore was not included with support documents submitted in IV Packet)

April 16, 2015 - Called NVC to re-verify that received false checklist. Confirmed AND was told that interview date was scheduled

May 28, 2015 - Interview Scheduled at 8am, Suva Embassy (need to reschedule due to conflicting obligations)

We submitted our 864 with my 2013 taxes as that was my most recent. When our interview was scheduled, I had filed our 2014 taxes, so I brought a copy of those to the interview, and the interviewer took those as well. As to your questions it depends on where you are at when you file.

Good Luck!

You filed for 2014, which is what is due on April 15th. That is the most recent. You will not file your 2015 taxes until the beginning of 2016.

Thank you everyone. I am inexperienced and new to tax filing so I didn't understand.

When uscis asks for my most recent income tax return, does that just mean the 1040 and w-2, or is there anything else really critical for me to show them?

You guys are the best! Wishing everyone well'

You need to provide a copy of the complete return with all forms, schedules, attachments, W-2s and/or 1099s, or an IRS tax transcript.

pls guys, I am about to file my AOS package. my joint sponsor hasn't filed taxes for 2015( 2014), can he use his 2013tax returns as most recent tax year? also he refused to give me his W-2s insisting that since he has the tax returns he doesn't need to attach his W-2.pls what is the implication of this?

what prove of employment can a joint sponsor who is in the military provide ?

thanks
