Hello,

 

I have my tax transcripts for 2019 and 2018 and I filed to amend my 2020 taxes because I filed single instead of married filing jointly. I filed the amendment back in November and currently waiting for them to be processed (up to 16 weeks). Should I go ahead and file my i-130 with my Turbo Tax printout, the 2020 w-2's and the 2019 and 2018 tax transcript -- or is it better to  wait and file the transcript? I don't want to delay to long, or cause issues down the road.

I would not wait, if that is what you have when needed at the NVC stage.

File a full copy of your 2020 taxes with all W2’s, 1099’s, etc demonstrating your income matches the income on the tax return.  When you submit a return, that documentation has to be included.  When you submit a transcript, it does not.

You don't need any tax return documents for i130. If you are sending as an evidence of marital relationship, just send a copy of amended return that you filed jointly.

Tax return information is required for the I-864, not the I-130.  The I-864 is not needed until after the I-130 is approved and is sent to the NVC.  This would take 6-12'+ months.

 

By that time you would need the 2021 tax returns.
