Alternatives for Income Tax Returns for Affidavit of Support

[Ken178 2]

Greetings everyone!

 

I am US Citizen currently in the process of a K1 Visa with my beneficiary from the Philippines. 

 

Right now, I am gathering requirements for the affidavit of support which is needed during the interview at the US embassy in Manila. I am 23 and only started working in the US back in March 2019 and haven't filed taxes yet.

 

So, as of current, I do not have any income tax returns to use for the affidavit of support. My salary meets and exceeds the salary required to sponsor the beneficiary. 

 

I do have the written letters from my bank and employer regarding my income and what not - the only item I lack is the income tax returns.

 

Is there an alternative to this document? What would someone with experience here suggest I do to progress further?

 

Thank you!

What is your current status?  Your timeline is blank          Is your fiancee interviewing soon?

Once you get your W-2 (by the end of the month at the latest) you can file your tax return.

 

Employer letter and pay statements are good.    Letter from the bank isn't needed.

File your taxes as soon as you get your W-2. Submit it electronically. I believe you need to submit your most recent transcript. You can and other documentation as well but as far as I know a transcript is a must.
