I have seen and read that you need copies of your last 3 years tax returns to accompany this form. Is this just for later on, or would I need these for my K1 application?

My Fiancee is the sponsor.

Thanks

You will need them at your K-1 interview.

Best Wishes,

Thank you Noorah. I thought we did. So the last 3 years tax returns from the Fiancee....

I will get him to bring them when he visits me next month!

Even though the I-134 doesn't specifically request them, it does seem that most K-1 applicants on this forum have been asked for copies of at least the past year's tax return (so it seems best to be prepared with the past 3 years).

gstring

OK. So we are all going from what recent K1 people have told us?

Is this information anywhere to be found other than here?

I'm glad I'm asking this as it's not highlighted on the form itself.

Cheers!

A pretty good *inside* source I would say!

I haven't seen this advice anywhere else (although others may have) but I would still suggest its better to be safe than sorry. Some people are only asked for the past year but again, you may as well have the past 3 years . . . don't you think? If your fiance is having trouble digging them up, he can obtain transcripts from the IRS. The fastest way to do this is to call the IRS and ask them to fax the transcripts to him.

Oooh I have this question too! my last yrs tax return was for only over 1grand in us money.. the one previous was for 15k an the one prior to that... another 10 k.... now... i just need to find them!

gstring

YES! I agree with all you have said.

Not a problem getting them at all, he has them. I'm just glad I ask silly questions to find these matters out as the forms don't tell you.

And....I'm just being anal. I have my Police cert, Military cert, Immunization record and all the other forms ready for packet 3 and our petition is still pending! Just want to be on the ball!

I believe you will need a joint sponsor then.

Sounds like you are! If you haven't already . . . you might want to fill out the required forms as much as possible.

We actually sent the forms to the US Embassy London (minus the document checklist b/c I couldn't find a copy of the K checklist online) right after we received the NOA2 from the CA Service Center, with a covering letter saying "in anticipation of your receipt . . .". I am not sure if this is advisable for everyone but it seemed to speed things up a bit for us. My husband's (we were doing the K-3) interview was set 6 weeks after NOA2 from the CA Service Center.

It depends on what the USC's *current* income is. That's what's important.

This is addressed in another thread, she has it handled

gstring

Thank you Noorah.

OK, best I don't post about tax issues, as I'm not really aware of the USA tax return system. However, I'm learning ALOT today.

Noorah101

Thanks. I'm just now going through threads and posting answers. I haven't yet seen the other thread.

I have filled in the forms, well as much as I can as I know one has to be done online

Oh...I'm not sure I'd be that bold! Do you know anyone else that has done this?
