Tax Transcripts for K-1

[xthemasterx 0]

I am NOT self-employed. In the instructions it says they are not needed unless I am self-employed, but I have seen so many people post that they ARE needed. So many conflicting posts on this question. Can anyone give me an answer based on their experience? Thanks

You don't need all this till you AOS. And if you are employed by a company all you do is add your previous years tax return 1040, 1099 and w2's We made the mistake of not sending 1040's and got RFE

Sorry I should have been clearer. We got approved and she just needs to go to her interview. Does she need my tax transcripts for her interview as part of the I-134.

What does the information that she received with her appointment notice say? Most do ask for supporting evidence with the I-134. Current and ongoing income being the most important aspect of that evidence.

No not unless her country US embassy requires them. In Aus it is not needed for interview this all applies to AOS after marriage

Usually with I-134 just a letter from your employer with business letterhead and how long you have been in job and annual wage from employer.

She hasn't received an appointment notice. The consulate just emailed me today saying they got my petition and that she needs to download packet 3. They are not actually sending her anything through the mail.

Firstly this post belongs in the Consulate/Embassy forum, transcripts get attached to I-134 which is needed at interview time at the consulate, not when filing petition.

Secondly, here is the deal, USCIS has no use for the I-134, so has not updated it's instructions in years. Virtually all consulates tend to treat the I-134 as if it is a "Light I-864" so tend to request the same financial evidence as will later be used with the I-864 when adjusting status.

I-864 has this for requirements in it's instructions:

Some sample consulate sites:

n. EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT. You should be able to demonstrate that you will not become a public charge or be a burden on the U.S. taxpayers for financial support. A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner's ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner's most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Download Form I-134 at http://www.uscis.gov...tal/site/uscis.

According to the packet 3 on the Nairobi embassy site the I-134 is required. Typically the last year's tax return is included. It can help to support your income claim. If your earning situation has changed that's ok as long as your current and ongoing income is enough. Best bet is to have your tax info there so that it won't cause a delay in obtaining the visa. It's always better to be overprepared for the interview.

For the best information about Nairobi you should post your question in the Africa regional forum to get input from other VJ members that have recently interviewed there.

My thing is that I started my new position in December of 2010 and before that I didn't make enough money.

I can't find form 167.

Current income is the key. Support that claim with the employer letter and recent pay stubs. Don't sweat the 2010 return. Just include it to be safe. Why risk a delay while you send it over after interview.

OF-167 would be an Optional Form from Department of State, it is non existent on the web or the DOS website, those instructions are ancient.

Get a Co Sponsor willing to provide an I-134 that does make enough to sponsor the intending immigrant, if your income is that way now whate will it be like when you adjust status and WILL need to provide an I-864 to sponsor the green-card?

I make enough now to sponsor my fiance, but my 2010 tax return would not reflect my current income...

Then provide good evidence of current and future income....

Copies of pay stubs going back 6 months shows consistency, and can estimate annual income, simply by taking total income from a month or two deviding by the number of months used, and multiplying by 12.

Letter from employer snows income amount, full/part time, position etc... shows current income and future income.
