K1 VISA Petitioner Financial Requirements Urgent Help

[Melly34 0]

Hello,
I am kind of stuck with a situation so I wanted to ask here since we've done the k1 files ourselves.
I am the beneficiary so my partner didn't file his taxes for the last year but he is planning to ,Also he got paid in cash last year so it might be trickier to file his taxes etc.I am done with our file and want to submit it but can't predict the outcome of this situation because i dont want to get denied.He filed taxes all his life,filed the 2023 year last and 2024 not yet and he says he is not sure if he can get tax returns for 2024 since if us doesn't accept his cash payments as a proof for tax purposes etc. Right now he re-instated his company as of last week and will start to get the payments officially.You think that can hurt our case or what can we do to support his financial status when the interview time has come?He doesn't have a real estate propert but he has a car,and normally he makes around 80-90k annually but can't prove that because of taxes etc.Please help me I dont want to go this path only to get rejected any help is appreciated.We don't have anyone to sponsor us by the way so that is not an option.Thank you for your time

Unfortunately, it is the only option if he cannot show his clearly qualifying income to sponsor you.

Sounds like a question for his accountant

If he was being paid cash and making 80-90K he needs to talk to a tax professional now.  Yes the IRS does want cash income reported too. Sooner he fixes his 2024 taxes the better. 

Luckily it will take more than a year to get to the interview stage where he will need to show his income. Go ahead and get started on the process, by the time you interview they will most likely be looking at 2025 taxes.
