Hi Everyone!

Trying to stay calm... I have my Fiances 3 most recent tax returns (2006, 2007, 2008).

1- Will he have 2009 tax return yet?
2- Does it matter that the 2008 return states he earned almost nothing (he was finishing his degree)?
3- He earns enough now, but will a statement of earnings from his employer + bank statement be enough to approve this?

Thanks for your help

If your interview date falls after the time he filed 2009 taxes, then yes, he'll have it, and should send a photocopy to you, so you can bring it to the interview.

It might. They are supposed to go more by current income, but they also look at past earning history.

If he's using income on the I-134, he doesn't really need to show bank statements. If he's using assets in the form of cash in the bank, then bank statements are helpful. Of course it doesn't hurt to include bank statements if you have them, but bank statements don't prove his current income.

The letter from his employer plus a few current pay stubs will prove his current income.

Thanks for the help!

I suppose there is nothing we can do about the low earnings on 2008. Hopefully they can see it was due to his circumstances with being at university and go off his current earnings through the other documents.

The only other thing I could suggest is to get a joint sponsor, and take along his/her documents as backup just incase they dont accept your fiancees.

The Conoff that did my application went off of what was on the latest tax return and not the other documents i provided showing all the income (some of which wasnt taxable and therefore not on the tax return) but the conoff wouldnt accept any of it and said it was the amount on the most recent tax return that they went off of.

I could of had a bad conoff, i dont know. but it wasted a lot of time getting another sponsor, getting all the documents sent to me, to then send to the embassy with their slip of paper.

Id say take a backup sponor just incase!
