Are tax Returns really needed For completeing I-134

[sunshinecountry 0]

Hi, they gave a blue slip to Vett for not having her tax returns for 07 08. I sent nattoy my co-sponsor's taxes for 07 08 09 and W2's for 10 and I marked out the social security number with a black marker. Nattoy said they were giving out blue slips on the day of his interview for people also not having enough far back taxes. It is confusing becuase the embassy checklist only says last years. I think if you use a co-sponsor you will def need atleast 3 years back. Nattoy also said that in window five on his interview( the person who goes through your paper work and takes out what they what) That about the only thing that the person took was my co-sponsor's tax papers.

Thanks that really helpful

so you think that I should send the last three years of tax returns for both my co-sponsor and myself?

also was it all good just to black out your co-sponsors SSN? cause I think they would feel a lot more comfortable if that is the case.

i know that she just worries about identity fruad. not that my fiance would do that but any others that see the forms.

Thanks DF

Please note that Vett was doing the CR1, the K1's only needs one year.

If not above the poverty level, then you will need a co-sponsor. P.S are you aware that you will need to AOS after he arrives and that will be another additional cost of $1070.00. He will probably not be able to work for 5 to 6 months after arrival as well, must do AOS to obtain GC.

I have the money for the AOS.. things are figured out for the situation once he gets here... but I thought that you can get a working permit even before the AOS but that you will have to file the form again once we get the status change.. not true?

That is not so Nicole. if a cosponsor is involved the 3 year tax doesnt kick in. Matter of fact the last year of the tax return is all that is required.

NOT TRUE....He can only get the EAD with the AOS, now he can file separately for the EAD at a cost of $450.00, but he will still need to do the AOS at $1070.00. If he file for the EAD outside of filing for the AOS the EAD will expire at the same time that his 194 expires, and that is usually 90 days after he arrives on a K1. So the AOS is the best bang for the buck, not EAD, no work.

This is ILLEGAL! Working illegally is working ILLEGALLY. Also breach of VJ TOS

Working under the table is illegally, why start out committing a crime before he is even a LPR of the US. I would only black out the SS# if you are actually using the official IRS tax transcript. 2010 tax returns will be fine for both.

It's DEFINITELY not a good idea to talk about that kind of stuff (working under the table) as I believe it's against the terms of this site. If he's caught "working under the table", it could mean deportation and a permanent ban from the US. He is NOT allowed to work AT ALL until he has the EAD in his hands.

As for your other questions, I really can't answer, but it wouldn't do any good to black out the ssn since there has to be documentation proving they are a US citizen, and even with that information, someone could take an identity. It's pretty much a ####### shoot if you can't go to the interview. I would definitely try to go, and then you can just take the information yourself and not have to worry about it.

I was sent an RFE for not providing the last 3 years worth of tax returns.

Send the returns.

For your KI Sophie.I never had to do this at all for 134 just pay stubs of my now husband and a letter from work and his wages.

CBP(Custom Border Patrol) POE(Point of entry)

You will only need the 2010 tax information

The proverty leve for 2 people for 2011 is $18,312.00

Include 3 years. There are too many instances where people included only the most recent year and got rejected for more information. It isn't worth the time and hassle so save yourself some potential heartache and include all 3 years

I see that a lot of people say that the income taxes are required for the interview.. but when I look at the USCIS instructions it doesnt say that it is needed for the form..

is that just usually asked for by the embassy?

my co-sponsor is a bit uncomfortable providing all the information and sending it over seas...

didnt know if there was a way of avoiding it? or if it is always even needed?

help would be great.

I went to the interview with someone who didnt have a tax return. She got approved but would only stamp a visa if she returns with the tax forms.
