Insight for a LONDON fiancé interview:
They don't require a tax return in London if you have other proof of current income. So when you find that job, get a letter from your employer to take to the interview. One of your parents can also be the sponsor if you have no job. Or the fiancé can even self sponsor with a lot of cash in the bank or a house to sell.
Later when your fiancé (spouse) adjusts status to get a greencard, the I -864 Affidavit of Support is a little stricter. The most recent tax return must be sent in. However if you read the Instructions for the I-864, it says if you were not required to file a tax return, then submit a signed statement stating why. Be specific--
"In tax year 2014, I was an unemployed graduate student and earned $0.00, so was not required to file.
In tax year 2013, I earned $3,210.12 and fell below the filing threshold for a single person, so was not required to file." Etc for the three tax years appropriate to time you prepare the I-864.
You would also submit good documentation of that new job you will have by then---employer letter, six months pay stubs. Or one of your parents can be a joint sponsor and provide a complete I-864 in addition to the one you will submit.

You should be able to sort the tax issue without much trouble. I lived in the UK for nine years and for the first few I didn't know I was supposed to file taxes (this is quite common), and then I was afraid to file them because it had been so long! (Also quite common!) Knowing I wanted to bring my husband to the US, I finally bit the bullet and got the past three years of tax returns completed and filed. I was under the threshold for all three years, and as I didn't owe the IRS anything, I didn't have any penalties to pay. As far as I am aware, as long as you have three years of back taxes filed, you're good.
Good luck to you!

First thing, Congratulations on your engagement!
In regards to your questions:
You want to file at the Texas lockbox for a I-129F petition. The other lockboxes are for other petitions. [source] You will want to provide your 2009 taxes and provide evidence that your income was below the limit. The easiest way to do this is contact your previous employers and ask for a letter stating your hire dates, your position(s), and your annual salaries for the years you were there. I would also recommend that you include a copy of your transcripts for your college in the UK. To prove your savings, I would recommend that you show the last year's monthly bank statements (online print-outs are fine) of your savings, and get a bank letter stating when you opened your account, the total amount deposited over the last year, and your current balance. Your parents as joint sponsors will need to prove their current income, and/or assets. Previous 3 years' tax returns, bank statements, paystubs, and/or a letter of employment will do. You should have no issues if you didn't file taxes. They're concerned about your ability to support your fiance NOW. Not last year. However, when it comes time to adjust his/her status, it's highly recommended that you have enough income to support your family size. Others may have more input who've been through the process without filing previous taxes. You can always do a search!
Good Luck!
