Latest Tax Return at Interview

[redglasses 1]

Hello all,

When my USC husband filed our I-130 petition at the US Embassy Tokyo back in August 2008,

we turned in his and his mother's I-864s and their tax returns for 2005, 2006 and 2007.

It was required to file I-864 and tax returns as well as I-130 for DFC Tokyo.

Now my interview is scheduled in July, and I am wondering if it is required to bring copies of their latest returns, which are for 2008.

I am planning to bring them anyways because it is always better than nothing, but I thought it would be very helpful if any of you who is/was in a similar situation can provide me your story.

Thank you :-)

We just had our inteview last Thursday in Copenhagen, and the couple before us got denied (221g) because they didn't have their co-sponsor's 2008 tax return. Thankfully we brought ours with us!!

As stated above, many times the CO will ask to see it, unless you are willing to be delayed after the interview - if they do ask for it and you don't have it - you should take it with you.

Thank you for your advise everyone :-)

I've asked my mother-in-law to email me a copy of her 2008 tax return.

It sounds I will definitely need it.

I wish the embassy's website has a little more specific information...
