Support and Tax Returns

[Robin28 2]

OK ! Since my head can't relax i have one more Q ( for now ) lol .. From what i can find in the FAQ about I-134 is that a certain consolate may require 3 years of income tax returns instead of just one .. but not all ? I can't find much info about it on USCIS site apart from the eform and instructions .. They say one year not 3 .. ugh ! I wish they would choose a set of rools and stick to them ! The issue for us would be the 2005 return is far over poverty level .. and the 2004 one is also far over but the 2003 return is a bit short due to only working half the year.. does anyone know how this works ? Maybe i missed some info in my searching .. I was thinking if it was a matter of all three years taxes combined that number would be far above the poverty guidlines x 3 years .. but if all that matters is that one year ( 2003 ) we may be in trouble

Robin,

You aren't going to find much info on consular policies on the USCIS web site. The USCIS has nothing to do with the consulates. Try the DoS web site and the web site of the particular consulate of interest.

Yodrak ,

Thx .. i did search the Vancouver website for info .. before i asked here I should have mentioned in my post .. but i have the email for K1 Inquiries .. i can ask them for the details they will require so i can be prepared .. but part of me wonders if it's best left untill they request information .. it's tough to say if it's worthwile getting ahead of myself .. they may decide to ask on a case by case basis .. it's all one great big guessing game

Robin,

"case by case basis" - very true, different consulates can have different ideas about what constitues sufficient financial documentation and every person's financial situation is going to be different from everyone else's to some extent.

Nevertheless, it is a good idea to start preparing in advance. Google form DS-2000, or OF-167, for the generic guidelines for financial documentation and communicate with people who have been through Vancouver to see what was asked of them.
