Blue slip i guess

[Michael and Ivy 1]

The embassy lost my 2009 tax transcrits i guess, somehow they dont have them, and told Ivy they need them and to bring them back friday.Now im really worried because i have been self employed for the last 10 years and my taxes dont show enough money.But i have started a job with new company this year and had employement letter and all check stubs since i started work. They told Ivy i not make enough income to suport 2 people but with my new job i make 3 times enough.

It seems they going on past years income more than what u make now!only thing they ask for was 2009 income tax file,i know i send it coz i sent the last 3 years.im trying to scan and send to Ivy now so she will have them and can take back friday

what everyone think will she get visa or be denied?

Im so depressed and Ivy is crying im going crazy now!Any advice should i get coSponser? they didnt ask for one.only ask for 2009 tax

I'm sure you can get a copy of your tax transcripts from the IRS. I think I read someone said you can go to your local Irs office and they can print them for you. I don't know about that but I'm sure you can get them. Who prepared your 2009 taxes yourself ? HR block and turbotax online etc have records.

Have you looked at the income requirements ? They are pretty low. Someone else can comment here but I think I heard they don't often approve sponsored K1's in PH.

When I went with my fiancé all they asked for was my last years tax transcripts, not 3 years back and I don't think they asked for my paycheck stubs though I had it. I also had employment letter but they didn't ask me for that.

You can get your income tax transcript within few minutes. Just call IRS and ask them to fax it to you.

Just my opinion but if you can try to find the last years tax records, show your paystub records from this year and letter from employer if you can. It's a good idea to have the 3 years back records if you can. I know it's good to be over prepared. Our interview probably took only 5 minutes. They asked us maybe 6 basic questions at the first window then at the interview desk. It wasn't difficult. I put effort in preparing our case but I heard from others the interviews are pretty quick once you get to that point if you have everything they need. The evidence of support is just a part of it this is the time to show the proof of relationship. I hope all goes well for you. We were really stressed but when we got to the big moment for us it wasn't hard. All the people at the embassy staff were nice and helpful to us.

I'm thinking that you don't have anything to worry about. Maybe your case worker lost your tax transcripts, and it's as simple as that. The same thing happened to us, except, in our case, they lost my I-134, my tax returns, my tax transcripts, my W-2 forms, my pay stubs, my bank statement, and my employer's letter.

Also, they look at your current income rather than your past income. The reason for this is because current income is the best indicator for whether the beneficiary is likely to become a public charge in the States. Since your current income easily exceeds 125% of the poverty line, you should have no trouble. That's why it's likely that the case worker or the consul officer simply misplaced your documents and they need you to submit them again.

That being said, I also believe that a petitioner should put forth the very best financial case that they can. You can even submit a short personal letter explaining your improved financial situation and your willingness and ability to support your sweetheart. You could also submit an I-134 and the accompanying financial documents from a co-sponsor. Anything is fair game. It's up to you to convince the consul officer.

Right now is the time to give it your best shot. Good luck!

Did they hand her a 221g form? I was given a blue slip (221g form) on July 1st since I didn't have my fiancé's pay stubs with me. I was asked to return between Monday-Thursday and I did just that. It's disappointing and I had my share of tears as well but the best thing for Ivy to do is check on the case and be optimistic. The consul focuses more on your present income. I surmise that they asked for your tax returns so they'll have something to base your financial stability on.

I had a co-sponsor yet the consul was more concerned with my fiancé's capacity to support me. The acceptance of the co-sponsorship is upon discretion of the consul. Submit the missing document and call the Embassy weekly to check on your status.

Here's the number: 3012000 press 7 then 5184 or 5185

The lady at the Embassy told me to wait for a week or two so all I can do is call and check for updates. Be optimistic and hang in there!

The embassy gave Ivys passport back to her and gave her the air21 slip to fill out but told her not to pay until after she brings back the 2009 income tax records. Does this mean we are denied coz they gave her passport back?

[JORDANTONI09 10]

My passport was returned to me as well and I filled up an Air 21 slip and was told not to pay. When I returned to the U.S Embassy, I submitted the lacking document along with my passport, a copy of the white paper plus the blue form with my details. It's not a denial. They just need the lacking document in order to continue processing your case. I'm still under Administrative Processing. Day 9 and counting...

If they misplaced your 2009 tax info them they might not have your proof of current income either. E-mail her copies of all pay stubs from the new job and the Employment Letter also.

[scotty's girl 1]

Just give them what they asked for and wait. It's not a denial. Just give them a little more time. Everything will be fine.
