Can someone pls help me?

I need some help. My packet 3 asks for last years tax transcript, but that won't be available for 2008 until after my fiancee has her interview. They say they "may" accept w-2's and a certified copy of your tax return. I am doing my taxes now for 2008, how do I get a certified copy of the tax return for 2008 and I get 1099's, not w-2's...why don't they mention 1099's being acceptable? helpppppp

I was going to bring a back-up sponser just in case...what forms does the sponser fill out? Is it just the I-134 or something else? thanx for any advice here everyone. Im so confused

Since the tax year requiring filing 2008 has not passed(April 15th). You should be able to use your 2007 return and just bring your 2008 documents also what ever you have. I am in the same situation with my records and don't receive a "W-2" i get 1099's also, they are treated the same as W-2 forms.I assume you are talking about a Social Security 1099 form and not a 1099 for interest from an IRA or bank account (1099R).

You don't need tax transcripts as long as you have copies of the tax returns and the W2s, in your case the 1099s. That's all you need. Also, the tax return does not need to be certified, a plain copy of it is needed.
