According to mine, I only showed the past 3 years tax returns.

For Thi's interview, I only showed the Consulate the most recent US tax transcript, Bank letters for my bank accounts, a value for personal assets, letter stating I am self employed and my business license. I followed the instructions in the Packet 3 and I-134 form about what is required of the things I showed. The Packet 3/4 letters stated the Consulate is mostly interested in income, not bank balances, assets and other things. I showed the bank checking statements for the last month with the bank letters because I am self employed and wanted to show the Consualte my cash flow as I thought that would help them decide that my finances were ok since my tax transcript showed a low income (I have lots of deductions.....). My income was above the 125% guideline.

Thi passed her interview with that I-134 so I don't think you have to show 3 years. If the Consulate asks for that, then you should have it ready to show them. I had 2007 and 2005 tax returns with me in Vietnam if they were needed. But they were never asked for.

Other VJs have stated that they only showed income with one year tax transcripts and nothing else, they got their visas in HCMC Consulate as well.

thanks all for helped answering this question.

If your income on those recent tax forms are above the 125% of Poverty Line, then you don't need to show your other assets or bank account. I've a question for you though: Did you use I-864 or I-864EZ when you submit your affidavit of support to NVC?

Anyway, together with your employment letter and pay stubs, your 3 most recent tax documents should be enough to prove that you have adequate means of financial support for your wife.

Good luck at HCMC and please keep us update. You're one of a few Vietnam CR-1 left on VJ.

I submitted 3 years tax returns with W-2s and a letter from my employer. I did not include pay stubs, bank accounts, retirement accounts, ect.

I used I-864. I think I-864EZ is for those people that need a co-sign.

If you can yes to the following you can use the EZ form.

1. I am the petioner of the family member sponsored on this form.

2. I am using my own earned income or retirement income, which is documented using IRS for W-2.

3. The sponsored immigrant is the only person immigrating based on the underlying visa petition.
