IRS TAX RETURN REQUIRED ON I-129F PACKET OR NOT?

[DaisyJane 3]

My fiance and I got engaged on May 31, 2022. We've been together for 3.5 years already. We are planning to apply for K-1 visa but we are not sure about the financial documents needed. My fiance is still in college but he was offered a full time work just this June 2022. His salary is above the poverty guideline for 2 person household. Although he did work for the same company for over a year already, he was working as an intern (salary still above the poverty guideline) which does is not considered as stable income. So, we are contemplating whether his recent income tax transcript is accepted or not? 

 

Additionally, I have researched on numerous sites and testimonials as well as the USCIS site, whether tax return transcript should be included when submitting the I-129F packet. The USCIS website did not include the IRS tax return in the list of documents to be submitted with the I-129F packet. But some other articles says that it should be included. We are thinking we can apply for the Visa if the IRS tax return is required only on my interview date. Because by then, it will be after a few months or over a year and he will be able to file a recent tax return with his full time job. We are really confused about this, I hope someone can help me clarify this confusion. Thank you so much.

Please only rely on the official source which in this case is USCIS.gov. Financial documents are not to be submitted with I-129f, they are to be brought by the beneficiary to the interview.

They are wrong.  I suggest you read and study the guides here on Visa Journey for accurate information.  Good luck.

I included mine when filing for my Husband for the I-129F but it was for the part 2/Getting NOA2, see first link below. He also kept copies for interview and as a copy of the whole document submitted.
Here are some links if you wish to look over on VJ!

No I-134 needs to be submitted for the initial K1 packet. As he has been in same employment for a while, that is a good thing, yes permanent is better, but it will look good to be with same employer. If higher salary, it gives him time to build up pay stubs for current income which is good news. Hopefully you will have also submitted taxes by your interview, but USCIS mostly cares about current income, so pay stubs, employment letter etc. 

 

Just submit at interview, that is the normal procedure. 
 

Good luck with your journey!
