INCOME

[rafraf 0]

Hi everyone. I filed a K1 for my fiancee, just want to ask if I will have a problem regarding the support. I am self employed and just a few dollars above the minimum income requirment "line 22" on my recent income tax. my 2 previous income tax " 2009 and 2010" was way below the poverty line. what I want to know is if that will be an issue. BTW I have 3k dollars bank savings will that help? Another thing, do i need to send my 2009 and 2010 ITR, or the 2011 will suffice? Thank you very much.

It's up the consulate in Manila. Usually, if you qualify based on your most recent tax return, and you can provide evidence that your income this year will also be enough to qualify, then they'll accept it. The savings will help if you can demonstrate you've had it for a while. They usually want to see bank statements going back six months or more. They want to make sure someone didn't give you a temporary loan to help you qualify.

The consulate requires the most recent tax return. They have the option of requesting additional tax returns. It's up to them.
