AOS & Taxes / Support Dilemma

[Gregory&Dyn 113]

Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.

 

I've mentioned some of the following information before, but never for this particular question. I will do my best to keep it precise.

• My fiance / wife arrived to the U.S. in November 2016.
• I lost my job with the federal government two days before her arrival (11/2016)
• We were married within a week.
• I was unemployed for one year through November 2017
• I am working full time now with an annual salary in the high 80's (well above requirements)
• Because I was unemployed, we neglected to file for my wife's AOS until now

 

Now that I am working, we are in the process of building the AOS packet. Because I won't have to file taxes for 2017 until April, am I safe in providing tax records for 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively?

My 2017 taxes will show just two months of salary. I would like to avoid the most current tax year if I can. Considering W2s are just now going out, can I send only the previous three years as long as we send the AOS package before April?

Yes, just send in what you have now, you don't have to rush and file 2017 taxes.  If you do get called to an interview, you can always bring updated tax records.  This is what we did.

 

Good Luck!

I agree with the other poster as well but I would add a letter as well to your packet detailing what  happened and where you are at now. The worst thing that can happen is you get called in to an interview, which in all honesty I would hope for because it usually speeds your case up alittle bit.
