another i-134 question

[CBR 0]

How many total years of income taxes do I need to need to give copies of? Is 2007, 2006 and 2005 enough?

I was married in 2005 and 2006...do I need to give them my ex's w-2's or just mine? Obviously he's not sponsoring my fiance but I want to be sure I do this right.

My copies are from H&R block and say "Copy only do not file" in a big watermark across them. Is that ok? I don't have any originals because they always file electronically for me.

Is that all I need? 1040's and w-2's? Someone said something about a 1099, but I don't seem to have that with my taxes. Not sure what it's for.

Only past year is required, but past 3 years will give them evidence of continued income.

Use Simple IRS transcripts they are preferable over (1040/W2s/1099) Yes you need to provide EX's W2s to be able to separate out her income from yours from joint filing.

NOTE: most may or may not have form 1099, they are given to a person from NON-Employers that may have paid your for services rendered that did not have tax withheld.

Yes the Copies that say "Do not file" are fine, or again you can use simple IRS transcripts.

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.

• I-134 signed and notarized.

• SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html

• Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)

• Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.

• Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.

My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% or (100% for military) of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

Well that ought to be interesting, I don't have his w-2's so I'll have to ask him for that? That seems kinda much to ask people.

I called for IRS transcripts, but the prompts would only give me 2007. It says 2006, 2005 and 2004 are unavailable. Could that be because I filed married those years?

ugh

There is a way to talk to person at IRS, and request them. But you may be right depending on primary filer of the returns, they may be provided if you have SSNs of both persons on the joint return.
