Tax Transcripts Question I-134

[SunflowerSweet 1,321]

**Asking this in the UK-specific forums since multiple members in the past have mentioned UK is generally pretty lenient on I-134 "proof"

With the new tax year fast approaching (starting Jan 1st) and the date of my NOA-2, it's very likely that by the time my fiance has his interview, the next tax year will have started.

Currently my most recent option for ordering tax transcripts is 2014. Will this be accepted af proof at his interview even if it is held in January of 2016?

If not, do you suggest I don't bother bringing it at all and just supply other proof of income, or will it still be helpful to bring along?

Thanks!

Taxes are not due until after January, self sponsorship in London makes more sense.

To more clearly get an answer for my actual question, that means they will accept it, correct?

Are you suggesting my fiance sponsor himself instead of me, the USC filling out an affidavit of support?

That is not an option, as he does not have an income and has very little savings.

They will not ask for taxes that are not yet due.

Until tax due date (April 15) your 2014 tax return satisfies immigration as your most recent tax return. Get an employer letter as the best choice of proof for London. If you want a backup, bring pay stubs. A 2014 return is kinda old anyway by then, even if acceptable, and something more current would be a better choice in my opinion.

London right now asks for the I-134 and then if you have a letter from your employer (if applicable). Tim took my tax returns for the past 3 years, w2 and paystubs and they did not want any of it. They may look for other things if self employed or using assets but if your wages meets the requirements they like the letter.

Hope this helps

I self sponsored and took a bucket load of information, just glanced at my summary spreadsheet.

I am a little worried about the employment letter just because for my job it is technically a temporary position, so if I ask my employer to draw up a letter it will say so.

I do not make enough to sponsor him along, but my father is also going to fill out an I-134 and I will have him get an employment letter for sure. He makes over $70,000 a year with a family of 5 including him so that is above the requirement level. It helps that his boss actually came here from Canada on a K1 (it was quite a while ago, he is a full US citizen now) so he knows exactly what to include in the letter.

I wouldn't worry about your proofs if you don't make enough. London would approve on your father alone with nothing from you. They have done that in the past for other people. Nothing from the fiance that doesn't qualify to sponsor anyway. No point in trying to prove you don't qualify in five different ways. Edited November 1, 2015 by Nich-Nick
