I included my 2008 return as well. mailed the return off Monday so hopefully it gets to IRS before my I-864 gets processed at NVC.

If you mail the 2008 taxes you need to include the W2 and the 1040 apparently - someone on VJ got a RFE because they submitted only one part of it and said it's better (if you have not filed 2008 yet) to leave it and include 2005, 2006 & 2007. Now they are stuck waiting until they do their 2008 taxes and can produce the other doc for NVC. Just make sure you have the full set if you're sending 2008 to avoid any RFE!

To (hopefully) avoid that problem, we sent in 2007, 2006, 2005 transcripts. I will let everyone know if they ask for more information so others are prepared.

Good luck everyone.

This is what i was wondering if they would accept transcripts for all three years or does the most recent year you send have to include W2 and all that, but its been a year since so I guess it should be fine. I'll keep up with you OBX.

I filed my taxes yesterday but with ITIN & Stimulus pay I should have to pay it back since I qualified when I received it but no longer do - so I'll wait for them to mail me some type of adjustment before I print out the 1040 and send in to NVC. This can get so complicated UGH!

I'm still waiting but will let you know as soon as I hear anything.

My husband has his W2 but cannot file until he has all of his tax slips. Some come from Canada (he is both a US and CDN citizen and has investments in Canada) so he normally cannot file until after March. I really hope we are not held back by this. We did include pay stubs for the last 6 months so I am hoping that is enough evidence of 2008 employment. Otherwise I guess we would just send a copy of the W2 and explain he hasn't filed yet.

It just doesn't get any easier does it?

Someone on VJ posted that since they sent the 2008 W-2, they got an RFE for the tax return. Since its way before April 15th, you should submit the 2007, 2006, and 2005 records(that's what I will be submitting), and take the 2008 information with you to the interview, if asked, you can present it.

Jaqui - What documents were required for the ITIN? My accountant told me I couldn't apply for an ITIN since my wife is not here, but the instructions for the W-7 indicate that I can apply for it.

That makes perfect sense to me. Let's just hope NVC agrees!

I would think NVC would be ok with it, as some banks have not yet issued the 1099's on their accounts.

Both my I-864 and DS-230 were entered into NVC system Feb 10 so I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear.

What I was saying is DO NOT use the 2008 W2 - send 2005, 2006 & 2007 and that is all they expect right now. If you send in the W2 and you have no 1040 for 2008 (and or 1099's) to send along with it then they will look at 2008 as incomplete and you will get an RFE (according to others on this site).

I hear you; we are not planning on sending anything extra unless they ask. Actually I believe that the filer that had the W2 issue ended up getting their case completed before they sent in additional tax info. Does NVC really know what they want? I found that thread a bit confusing.

Let's hope we all get through this stage soon so we can let others know.

Does NVC send our WHOLE package back to us after "Case Complete"?

[queuedup 1]

No, NVC will send the case file to the embassy. At the time of the interview, you will get your originals back.

Does NVC really know what they want?

This is a very good question! Let's just hope we all get through based on what we know! Haha! I am still amazed about the RFE's on photos that people get - some with pen get passed, some with pen do not, some with "felt tiped" some with pencil... as long as it's neat, easy to read, doesn't smear etc you'd think they could do what they need to do with them!! I am sooooo glad we have this website!!

My AOS package was generated 2/07 but I have not yet received it, hopefully today.

Jaqui - What documents were required for the ITIN? My accountant told me I couldn't apply for an ITIN since my wife is not here, but the instructions for the W-7 indicate that I can apply for it.

For ITIN all we needed was his passport. The difference here is we are doing consular processing and will apply for a waiver since my husband EWI.

[MMW 2]

The IRS required for my wife (Philippines) to submit a certified copy of her passport bio page, her birth cert. and our marriage certificate. All had to be certified copies from the issuing agencies. along with the completed W-7 form. I just included this is my 2007 tax return and they forwarded the W-7 to Tx.
